Sorry, I'm all over the place.
If I were buying which up until today i was thinking was the way I was going, then when I buy the car, I need a down payment, then when I register the car here in PHX, I'd need to pay the total sales tax of the full purchase price....another $2k up front.
Now, if I were to lease, yes, I would only need the $2k down, plus whatever other fees there are, which seem like they should be minimal.
but plan on buying the car after 3 months for around $15K or so
I assume for that you'd be putting a much larger down payment than the $2k?
Has anyone seen a no-nonsense breakdown of the lease (for dummies) now that we have residuals? Are details about buy back costs available?
most of the threads on this board are so active and peppered with misinformation and speculation it's impossible to find anything of use.
