Default hopefully they'll release a lease deal on July 5th, would be great...

otherwise those residuals need to go up about 5% minimum and the money factor has to be cut in half!

Default Probably wont change much in two weeks..

with your 4k down you might want to consider traditional financing. Your payments will be close to a 36 mos lease v. 60 mos financing.

Default Leasecompare.com seems to have pretty decent leases

.00194 Money Factor for a 48 mo/15K lease with a residual of about 41%.

Assumes total cost (including taxes, faxes, schmaxes) of $32K with $4k down and a credit score of 760.

Payments come out to $390.

Default that's still nuts, $4k down and $390/month...

assuming you have 760, which is rare when the national average is 670 and only 1% of the population is above 720. eeek!

Well, using the average credit rating of 670 (I thought it was much higher than that) it comes out to $410 - no huge difference.

Look $390/mo is not bad. You won't find that from any foreign car manufacturer for this price vehicle.
