Who here is leasing the GT3 and what kind of residuals am I looking at? LOL!

And before we start the whole leasing / buying debate... it's a 100% company car, leased by the company.

Tosilog

If it is a 100% company car, you should lease it then regardless of the residual.

AWW100

36 months 50% with pdk.
Mileages impact varies from adding 2% for 12K to 5% for 5K per year. Money factor is 4%.

Team Plutonium

Agreed. The plan will be to do a buyout private after the lease.

Team Plutonium

Thanks!

I was told 54% currently...by 3 dealers.

Pazzo009

All GT3's are PDK

RUF RS

Likewise, 54% for 3 years, 10,000 miles a year. And the best tier one rate/money factor was .0020 or 4.8%. I would LOVE to know where the 4% and 50% numbers came from.....

With as little as gt3 seems to depreciate, they couldn't exactly put a 10-20% residual on the car or you'd have a $1000/month lease or something absurd. Porsche is making good money on this lease, especially at that money factor

RUF RS

Yep, exactly why I am buying.

I leased because I plan to keep it less than 2 years and didn't want to pay 9% sales tax up front. Even at money factor over 4% and $900 lease acquisition fee +$599 disposition fee, I still would pay less than 9% sales tax if I don't keep it for 19 months or so.

I am planning to lease, it is interesting how strong some peoples opinions are on the lease vs. buy vs. pay cash. For me, I prefer to rent my toys, they are not my investment portfolio.

CAlexio

Even if leasing costs more than the savings you're getting on taxes? Just trying to understand.

There are cases when buying makes sense or leasing makes sense. There are so many factors to consider: 1. Tax Benefits 2. Duration of ownership 3. Rates / Money Factor 4. Factory Incentives 5. Which state you live in 6. Depreciation / Residual Value 7. Opportunity Cost

Dr.Bill

Yes, many factors to consider. Still, leasing (i.e. renting) is virtually always the most expensive way to drive a car. Although it does allow people to drive something they otherwise couldn't afford.
