New 98 M3 on a lease!

[dtuten@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Daniel Tuten)]

Howdy Folks -

Talked to my salesguy at the local BMW lot - sounds like I can get a
great deal on a 98 M3 of my choice through a *lease* (they have several
in stock of 2 and 4 doors). 

Looking at a touch under $600/mo, with $1200 due at signing. 
Considering my car habit of trading every 3 years (and losing $$$), this
seems like the best way to go.  I only put about 9-10K miles on a car a
year, so the mileage works in my favor.

I'm still going to abuse the car at the track (what they don't know
won't hurt them :^)

Heheh, the salesguy actually called while I was composing this mail, he
has the Cosmo Black/Grey 5-speed M3/2 like I wanted.  Payments right
around $580.  Sounds good - I may be driving a new M3 to work tomorrow
:^)

Any comments on a lease would be appreciated - I know it doesn't
generate equity like a purchase/loan, but heck, my current car
effectively has little equity anyway.  BTW, they are giving me about
$3000 over my balance on the Vette, so I'll have $1800 to pocket.

Stay tuned :^)

DT
