If you intend on eventually buying, probably will do better to buy now. Don't know how good your credit is, but right now Subaru is doing 0% for 72mos on new 2014 BRZ's. If you get a new BRZ Premium for $2k off MSRP, the price would be about $23,500 plus tax, tag and fees. In NC, that would be about $24,500 out the door. Financed at 0% for 72mos that's $340/mo.

- Leasing is horrible for non-high priced luxury cars... I would read heavily on this before deciding to lease or not
- Residual is based on MSRP, to the lower your negotiated price is, the lower you pay overall for the lease.
- Essentially, the Bank buys the car from the dealership, then leases the car to you based on their calculated depreciation and profit margins. They base this off MSRP.
- Money factor x 2400 = approx "interest rate" on the lease. There is no interest on a lease, only money factor
- Bank may require GAP insurance to cover the remaining value vs actual value, which will make your insurance go up
350/mo payment is about what you'd pay for a purchase on a 60mo finance and ~5-8k down. This is a cheap car, if you need to lease to afford the monthly, it's probably out of your budget. Just sayin...

Agree on all counts, but then again, I've never leased a car
