Well, yeah... that it does!

Hey guys - thanks for your help! Gio - no trade in, and between 5 and 10k, depending on what makes sense. At a 2.2% lease rate I'm inclined to keep my deposit smaller. No trade-in. Phoenix - sorry, I meant lease 3 new vehicles, not the same one 3 times... lol.

Hey all- Just wondering if there is a "rule of thumb" or other accepted figure that people might use when considering buying at the end of the year (NOW!!) vs. waiting into the next year. We're looking at several different brands, and have narrowed it down and the CX 5 is in our top picks...

Thanks again- Even with financing at .9, a 72-month buy comes out to about 360/month... I'm getting about $320 per month on the lease, but I may be doing the calculation wrong. Last night we were doing some numbers and it seemed to make sense to lease, even with a good down payment, if you...

Thanks again everyone! Ok, we drove the car again yesterday. During the time between our original test-drive and yesterday (a week or so I guess), and as I thought more and more about the seats, the harder they got... in my head ;) However, yesterday, since we went in with the idea of paying...

Thanks all... good food for thought.

Hi all- New here.... we really like the CX 5 and we're considering the Grand Touring. Having only driven it really for a short while on a test ride, and being used to "softer" seats, we're wondering how the comfort holds up on longer trips (500 miles?). I realize everyone's rear is different...
