Ford Lease...WTFMATE?

[Alan®]

Pops is lookin for a new car tryin to stay under a $400 a month lease if he can help it. During the course of shoping looked at cars all around $32-$38K

Infinity G37-$350/month
A4 Quattro-$389/month
Legacy 3.6R-$330/month
IS250-$370/month
SHO Taurus-$519/month

Seriously? Somethin ain't right here

While it is a Taurus, you're comparing a limited production vehicle to base model / standard production cars.

and to put this statement in perspective


Audi S4 $589/ with almost a $10K price difference

Not to mention that an Audi S4 is about 100x better quality than a SHO.

Either you are sarcastic or you can back this up.
Have you sat in a new Ford?
J.D. Power, the often-considered hallmark of quality judging, has ranked Ford comparably to Audi, across the board.

+ whatever I'm worth for the truth. I would take a SHO over a S4.

the S4 isnt a full size sedan like the taurus it should be compared to a A6

all those cars compared are mid size sedans

compare the:
M45
A6
legacy is as big as subaru sedans get, and these cars are out of its league.
GS460

and it will be a much better comparison!

HAHA you've got to be kidding me. Not to mention the A4 is smaller, less powerful, less attractive, and we wont even get into maintenance costs!

[Evil Goat]

leasing cars is retarded....i've never understood it

[JJSPEC Racing]

The lease price is determined by predicted value at the end of the lease so they must think the SHO will be worth a lot less at the end of the lease term so you have to pay more principle during its term. Simple terms-they dont think it will have a lot of resale value so they must get the leaser (or loser) to pay more.

That is b/c the SHO is in high demand compared to those other cars so the lease rates are not as attractive. Also the SHO is the high end model with a base MSRP of 37k and hits 45k loaded.

The lease rates on the G37, IS 250, A4 are for base models with no NAV....

The new Taurus SHO is badass and BETTER than the other cars listed there.

I'd rather BUY a $20k car than LEASE a $30k car. Nearly the same monthly payments except you own a car at the end, then you can sell it and put down a good chunk on a $30k car, pay the same payments again, and then own a $30k car after what would have been tons of leases with nothing to show for it. Leasing is so stupid unless you're rich and want to change cars each year anyway.

A 1993 SHO maybe. :lmao:

Leasing suits some people, doesn't suit others.

And the new SHO is a monster. WAY better than the cars that were listed as being comparable to it. Lol at that list.

Leasing makes sense for business owners and business. For personal use, yes, it is dumping money down the toilet.

true, me either...

I'm guessing neither of you are Executives. Not a slam, just a guess. If you were, you would see how leasing makes sense.
