I'm #1 on the list at my dealership for the .2 GT3 (I realize that it really means "bupkis"). But I have a question of how best to pay for it based on the type of car it is and the total cost amount with options.

I plan on keeping it for at least a year. Assuming that any of the 3 choices are affordable, financially what makes the most sense?

1) Lease - which I've done through PFS (I own my business).
2) Finance - which I've also done through PFS
3) Buy it outright (I've done this also, but for my Spyder, not a GT car).

I know these questions have been asked before, but my question is based on the difference between a "less versus more expensive" car. Should paying for it be any different? And if it's a "depends" answer I'd like to know that too. Many thanks guys!

.......I love following that garage photo thread!

are we reopening the lease vs buy debate? In my opinion, if you have a business / tax advantage then lease. Otherwise, in the insightful words of randy moss - straight cash homey

Lol randy moss.

this really depends on the rate you'll be getting the car at. How much interest on the loan etc.

It doesn't matter, do what works for you financially.

Do you think that long lists of deposits help?

Any GT car is worth buying and keeping until you die!! Pay one off,buy another,soon you will have one for everyday of the week!!

I really dislike leases from an exit stand point.

I say finance everything while rates are so low. It's free money. Or damn near.

Leasing is usually a really bad deal with gt3's because Porsche financial services set the residual way below its actual resale value. For this reason, most purchase or finance

I own my own business and would lease a regular 911 or a 911 turbo , but not a GT3 or RS.

Buy through your business and lease to your person?

As others have said....The way you finance it or if you pay cash does not change the future value of the car in your 1 year of ownership (????). Do what works best for business....and if no advantage pay cash

A one pay lease can be a good option if youre going to track it to death. When you have an off/hit a wall, you only need to worry about repair cost and not diminished value hit. Think of it as renting a track car...

3rd party leases are cheaper than porsche financial right now.

How does a one pay lease work? You buy the car in one payment, but call it a lease?

CJ- good point on 3rd party leases vs Porsche financial.
