so if you choose to buy at the end of your lease you pay $41,680 + any financing charges from the $18,000 end of lease purchase price. if the sticker price was $34k (guess), financed at 7% for 5 years you pay $40,394 for the car. after your 5 years of payments you're done when you buy whereas after 42 months on a lease you still owe $18k on the car or, if you want to pay it off in the same time period as a 60 month loan, $1,000/month + interest.

Another good thing is that you have options...you don't have to buy at the end. Say something happens to Nissan or Infiniti and the car is only worth 15,000, you can walk away. Say it's worth 23-24k then you could buy it out and resell it for a profit.

My 3 is holding it's value just fine. It was 19,500 new and it's retailing for 16,000 now. It's a 2004 with nearly 50k.
Trade in values are always low. That's why its called wholesale. You're manipulating the numbers for the benefit of your argument. Also, always go by KBB. NADA and grits or rits (whatever the F it's called) always comes up really low. Tell your dealer you want KBB. They'll listen.

i did told them when i trade in my BLUE 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege!! I says in KBB With 90k miles 12k and is BS they gave me only 7500 for the car so thats why i say that!! But yeah you right the mazda 3 holds the value pretty good thats only because is the most selling car of mazda but who knows if the ms3 ( special edition) is going to hold the same as the normal !! What i know is that the normal protege holds more value than the msp!! Dealer told me that!!

because the car was a mess!! but that was past and for that learn not to trade a car on the stealerships
Give a fancy Toyota a fancy name with a bunch of crap options I'd never use and increase it's price by 30%. Same goes for Lexus, Acura, Cadillac, and whoever else that can crank out in car form and way overpriced in SUV conclomerations. That the rich seem to need to buy/lease. Just to say "Look at me, I'm a rich douche bag that can go 80 on the interstate and you pee ons driving lesser cars better get out of my way"

If you don't see the value in those cars, don't buy them.
For whatever it's worth, I drive my $2500 Mazda 80 on the interstate. What does that make me? A poor douche bag?
I would have really shopped interest rates. 11% for a new car is terrible unless you have some prior credit woes. The G35 is nice for sure but that's an INSANE lease payment. Then again, when I was younger, the full purchase price of my car was 2 of your payments.
Here's a question:
If you are in your early 20s and get something like a G35, what do you get next? I mean, you've already got a really nice car. Most people generally get something a little nicer each time. By age 40 you'll have to buy a 7 series.
I started out with s*** cars. I got my first new car in 2000 and even then it was a cheap 14k Chevy pickup. I couldn't imagine rolling a G35 even now. My BMW was expensive enough. It was only 31k.

if i make more money or if im rich why not??? LOL
I have owned both
I've owned both cars, an Infiniti G35 coupe (not the sedan) and my '07 MS3 GT. Having put many miles on both, I can say the G35 coupe is faster and handles better (can't speak to the G35 sedan). It's engine is incredible and it's RWD. Despite what a previous poster said, the engine is actually much quieter than our Mazda's. The most apparent difference on the same back roads is handling (more "stick," more predictable, less fighting the wheel, holds a line better) and when accelerating from speeds of about 70 on up (the 6 cyl in the G35 really pulls).
Not that I don't like my MS3, I do. I love the bang for the buck, the performance with the practicality of a hatch. But I am also realistic; the Mazda is at least $10K less than the Infiniti, and I'm sorry but it's not just because of the infiniti nameplate.
So if I liked my G35 so much why don't I have it anymore? I traded it in on my M5...and yes, it is also faster than my MS3.
