leasing vs financing

[Astroslik]

so i just graduated college and got a decent job and i need a new vehicle because my current car is on its last legs brehs. I want something like an is250 or gs37 but I'm undecided on whether i should lease or finance. I do not mind getting used if the payments are lower and i actually prefer getting used avoiding the initial depreciation hit.

my only problem with leased vehicles is the mileage limit, I drive a lot so I know I will surpass the basic 10k a year limit. My question is, can I negotiate a higher mileage limit?

want something in the 18-25k range
used preferred
good mileage
quick
comfortable
decent/nice interior

infiniti g37 2011-current is nice
bmw 335 diesel

also, should I go to a private dealer versus an official dealer?

You can lease upto 15k with most companies.

I will never finance another car
Leasing is the way to go or use lease trader to take over a lease
You will probably have to opt for full insurance though

whats the catch? higher monthly coverage?

do you recommend going to a private broker for a good lease?

not trying to spend more than 300-350 a month on a lease for a is 250 (new body)

It wouldnt make sense to lease for you IMO
You need higher mileage which means more money per month
Its gonna be a large down and the payments will still be over $400 unless you want the really base model

I mean an IS250 F sport is easily $450 with 5K down

Going used is your best option it seems
And always try to get financing before you walk into a dealership
You will have the upper hand and dont have to worry about bullsh*t additional fees

If you are willing to spend 20K+ on a car, you can get plenty of used ones.

The most fun to drive maintenance aside? or something that overall a good value?

the latter, but driving comfortability is important to me.

the infiniti g37/s is looking , 2011-2012 models seem to go for around 20k with under 20k miles where i live (los angeles) i wouldn't mind the coupe or sedan model

bmw 335 diesel 2011 seems nice also, but i know the maintenance and insurance will be a bytch

Yea I was looking at that when I was car shopping It has a good move of power, technology gas mileage
I would spend a couple thousand extra and try to get one CPO or still under Manufacturer warranty

Audi A4 is a good choice also

what year audi a4? and do infinities have maintenance problems?

Every car has maintenance problems Thats unavoidable. Some manufacturers are cheaper than others

The 2009 and beyond Audis are pretty damn nice especially if you get a quattro. Its no joke.

I'm really eyeing the infiniti right now, i'm just trying to decide if spending extra for the S model is worth it

2011+ year G37 coupe (Sport) with low miles are over $20k. range between $22-$30k.

expect to pay mid 20's for a well equipped Sport Coupe version of the G37.

i want the sedan and I prefer just the g37 (non sport)
what do you consider low mileage? under 20k?
