63 months???

I didn't think they had anything worse than the 53 month lease I saw on a Mercedes in the paper this morning.

If I lease a car, it's because I want short term... 36 months at the most, with 24 or 30 being better.

this thread makes me think about the $699 a month lease i see Porsche dealers advertising for the base Cayman.....(puts the Z06 lease price into perspective, doesn't it?).

anyway, $1000 a month for 63 months is absurd --especially for a product that is guaranteed to fall like a rock in residual terms.

I think I posted earlier that we were looking into the Z06 lease, but the number was just absurdly bad that we nixed the idea.
please don't tell me that your business pays for most of that lease.

Regardless of "who" pays for it, I know I shouldn't be surprised since it is one hell of an expensive car, but I can't imagine 24K a year to lease a car.

Not to suggest anything, but isn't one's business car supposed to be within certain guidelines of what is appropriate for its use? I thought I read that a while ago.
