I'm looking in to leasing xB and here's the reasons why, it will be used mainly for work (deliveries and no it's not pizza ) 90% of driving will be done in NYC. I'm sure the car will be in not so good shape (mechanically) in 3 years. This is why I do not want to own it but lease it, abuse it, give it back.

Now with all that said can anyone share in what ballpark payments are? I'm looking in to 36/12k lease.

Thanks,
Faba

 

You can go on to Scion.com and build it the way you want it and then look at the financing terms. There you can look at the lease payments for your xB.

 

you pay for abuse outside whats considered normal wear and tear, at least for most cars.

 

I never trust those calculators on manufacturer site. I got much better deal on g35 than what Infiniti calculator said it will be.

i doubt you'lll even be able to lease it in New York due to the lease laws there many dealers wont do the leases anymore.

But you could, and probobly do, live somewhere else in the tri-state area. If thats the case i would encourage you to avoid leasing the car. As you will end up losing money in nearly any scenario. Instead, if you must lease, you should try looking into a a vehicle with a GVR of 6000 pounds or more as you will be able to write off every expense of the vehicle lease for tax purposes. and you would be in something with a more "city friendly" suspension and bumpers that are not covered with happy paint matchedness.

I used to live in brooklyn so i know exactly what you mean about a car getting destroyed. My jetta took a beating every single day (whether i drove it or not!)

Hope i was of some minor assistance. Oh and by the way whatever is on the scion site is going to be the deal on the car for a lease. Scion/Toyota is VERY serious on sticking to the scion covenant. The only way you would get a different set of numbers is if the dealer bought the car and carried the lease. Im not certain but I would be willing to be this is a big no no. Perhaps hold out for the 2005s to come out and they would cut some lease deals.
