MF? residual? deposit? whats the MSRP and neg price?

also - did you trade in? Everyone talks about what a great deal they got, but not everyone mentions their 05 S500 that they traded in for 22k...

Without knowing your sales tax rate and dealer doc fee, it's still a bit hard to tell exactly, but assuming your doc fee is $400 and capitalized into the lease, your payment of $620 implies a sales tax rate of 8.77% on a base payment of $570.

If your first payment is $620 and your SD is $650, is the other $430 embedded in your $1,700 for some titling fee or something?

Assuming that's a yes on the $430 and your sales tax rate is near 8.77, it sounds like you got a good deal at $480 over invoice on the price and base rates on the lease. I'd pull the trigger.

OP, numbers aside I think you need to be 110% sure 10k miles/yr is sufficient and that you will not regret getting a very loaded 328 over a slightly less loaded 335

10k miles is good. I'm considering a 335 every minute that passes. I've been running the numbers and it is VERY tempting!!!

You should go for the 335. If it's tempting you, go for it. If you had said that you didn't care, then I think you'd be very happy with a 328, but given your response, I think a bit of buyer's remorse is going to creep in there.

+1. If you think you want it and it isn't a reach do it. I'm very happy with my 328 but it hard not to think about 'whatif' i had 100ftlb torque and 70hp more

After running the numbers - it almost makes sense to go with a 335 because the Xeon headlines and Powerseats come standard on it - thats almost $2000 right there!!!

And if you are willing to go manual trans 335 that's another $2000

Have you driven an automatic 328 by any chance? You really should make sure the performance level is acceptable to you.

Word, that's what I'm saying man. Take a serious look at it and make sure you're not asking what if for the next 2.5 years.
