That's a pretty Vette. I test drove green convertible Vette of the same vintage, 11 or 12 years ago. I liked it but they wanted a lot more for it than it was worth and weren't willing to dicker.

I leased it. They did give me a good deal, in the short run, a lousy deal in the long run. I returned it after 3 years.

That's about how I see all car leases, at least for individuals.

Actually I read something somewhere that said the opposite. I didn't agree with the article.

The only way a leased automobile is a good financial deal for an individual is if the car is used exclusively for business and the cost can be deducted from your income tax. It still costs an arm and a leg [usually] at the end of the lease when you turn in the car. But the dealer makes it so appealing at first -- because you don't need to have a big down payment. People get hooked that way.

That's probably correct in most cases, but I didn't have to give them anything. I just lost out on the car that I traded in. :(

Leasing is a reasonable option here, my car is used about 70% for my work. I have never tried leasing a Corvette though. :)

I really would've loved to keep it but the leasing company would not fix the problems. The only other car that I enjoyed more was my '69 camaro.
