MF of .00357 (8.5%APR) - 24 month residual is 55%, 36 mos is 46%. 15k/yr (i only need 10k tho). That is massive depreciation. I calculated the payments (105K MRSP) for 24 mos at 2595 with no cap reduction. terrible! Is this typical for those of you that have looked at leasing? might as well own it for less.

Yep, bet their residual insurance policies must have gone through the roof over the last several years too!

Tarry from leasecompare.com answers many questions on that board. He may be able to direct you towards better lease terms than AoA.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.roadfly.com/forums/financing/">Contact Tarry</a></li></ul>

I love the S8, but I'm single. If it doesnt pencil, I'll find a substitute. Obviously they are totally different, but I appreciate them both for what they are, in their respective arenas.

The lease terms from AoA are tough to swallow.
Saw the black M3 w/19s pic in your gallery. I have a black M3 with 19s, but it lives with forged magnesium BBS wheels and Michelin PS2s currently. The Noble looks fun. Where do you track?

WTF??

They are asking so much for these cars and they are worth nothing in a year. I need a new car but I'm not paying what they ask.

The best or worst part is that I can easily afford it. I just feel like I'm getting screwed.

I track the Noble at willow springs and spring mountain. Occasional auto-x. Its been in the shop getting custom standalone haltec, exhaust, water/air charge cooler, etc.

S550 is too ugly and nav is still horrible. A8 is underpowered for me. 750, maybe... E55 but I just got rid of E500. I think I will enjoy a GT while I am single. My friends cand walk!
