Hi, I'm a noob here. I'm looking to buy my wife a new 09 Fit Sport Auto w/ navigation. What's considered a good lease for 36 months 12k miles/yr? I'm located in Socal, CA. I want to know what I can expect and hopefully bargain down to. Thanks for all your help.

 

I mean this in the nicest way possible but leasing is well... umm...

You dont want to be making a car payment for the rest of your life (because when you lease you just have to keep finding new cars to lease and if you buy it off at the end of the lease... it would have been cheaper to buy all along). Finance it for 3 maybe 5 years and drive it into the ground and, if you haven't already, learn to turn a wrench so that it can last 12 maybe 15 trouble free years then once youve got money to build a bigger garage (and you will because you wont be wasting money on car payments) let the fit sit in there for 10 maybe 20 years. once you are old and gray and retired you can restore the fit and let your grandkid drive off in it and then you can die happy...

But seriously, don't do it. Investigate in some financing options and if your credit is good Im sure you'll see buying is better.


Plus how could you lease a fit and not mod it for that long

 

^ Well said, thanks for the opinion.
