Leasing is just like buying in that your payments will be based on loan amount/length of term/ and most importantly credit score.But to get an idea go to chevrolet.com I think they have a payment calculator based on lease/purchase/ or smartbuy.

all depends on who the lease is through. some car companies will do some great lease deals - other times you will see shops that lease used high end luxury cars and will fuck over the person leasing.
the whole point of a lease is that you pay less for some amount of time (usually 1 year, 3 years, and *maybe* 5 years). then after that time, you give it back to them and they try and sell it as used. so they want it in very good shape and with low miles, so you are usually limited to 10K, 12K, and 15K (miles per year) for those and the some peanalty amount for each mile over that. I've seen as low as $.08 and as high as $.60.

my car is leased (the car I have tends to have great lease deals and in this city the car gets fucked on the roads - twisted, so it is nice to hand in a trashed frame at the end of the term). When I got mine it was going for like $28-34, I don't recall exactly. I had to put just over $3K down and my lease is $399 a month.

Exactly!!

I know people that have got great deals with their leases and others who felt like they were screwed. The biggest pain is the mileage that you are allowed. Go over it and it will cost you.

Don't lease. All leasing does is allow you to drive a car that you can't really afford to buy. When the lease is up you have nothing to show for it except a huge bill for every tiny little scratch and for every single mile over 12k per year.

Buy a Chevy Cavalier instead!

technically that is failed logic - but it is true that you will see a lot of people leasing cars that they couldn't normally afford to buy.

oil baron J Paul Getty said buy that which appreciates in value and lease that which depreciates. Houses appreciate in value - so buy it - a car depreciates (unless it is a collectible like the old Vettes perhaps) - so lease it.
(technically that too is failed logic for a person - holds more true for a business that has large euipment costs)
