I leased a malibu 3 years ago had a 24 month lease cost me 200 a month. So 4800 to drive a new car for 2 years. I had a bonus offer from my gm card that put 3000 down on the car otherwise i would have never done it. The buy out was about 18k original msrp was 30k kupper price was 26k. so 26-8k (money paid monthly and 3k from gm)=18k buyout, shitty deal was we only put 14k of the 24k allowed miles on the thing so even though we paid for them we didn't use them. But i am glad i didn't buy that car as after 2 years they were selling on the lot for 16k, so it worked out to lease in the sense that it cost me 4800 bucks to drive for 2 years if i would have bought it the cost would have been 8k for two years(based 23k starting price and on getting 15k for trade) but without that free 3k from gm it was a wash. now had the cars not flooded the market and it was worth 20k after two years then i could have bought it out for 18k with low miles. My biggest advice is to see what you will pay on the vehicle try to make sure you get all available rebates etc. and just look at the vehicle market and guess what it will be worth at the end of your lease. however the numbers work out for you go with that either way all options have a risk.</blockquote>
