Figuring in the higher payments of leasing a 2003 cobra, and the large down payment I put down, I would have saved $5,000 if I leased it for 24 months. I have owned 3 brand new cars in the past 5 years. I could have saved about 15k figuring in higher monthly payments for 24 month leases.

I dont regret anything though, love the freaken car, but the car isnt my priority in life right now.
