This is my mid-life crisis car after owning sedans my whole life. It's a splurge.
I may be over it in a couple of years or my lifestyle may change and I want to be able to give it back with no fuss.

So it seems most just want a nice ride for now. No serious commitment. So if you have a lease, you plan not to mod it to much?
I bought mine due do I plan to go all out. Looks, performance and all. Even though the performance still has a ways to go. I just hope to see this car break loose like the Z did. It's just most people who mod, usually buy there car. I was only wondering, getting an idea of the people who plan to trick this car out.

True! But I woudln't want the hassle of putting it all back.
By the way solopresident, nice ride you have. Everone here in Atlanta always bring up your car in our conversations. Even some of the dealerships I went to mentioned it.

I didn't lease and I'll probably only keep the car for 3 years and then sell and upgrade. My logic was...
Estimated Lease Offer -- $2000 down / $500 month (for 39 months excluding Tax)
Estimated 39 month Cost = $21,500
Based on past experiences with Purchase/Finance option, I would anticipate the depreciation of a G37 to be much less than the estimated 39 month lease cost, thus why I decided to purchase and finance. Sure it can be a hassle to sell, but considing how well resale was on the G35 I determined (for me) the finance route to be most cost effective.
