How much did you / would you put down on a Lease? I have to admit that the IS300 has “mad” appeal - even to the most jaded hard-core domestics like myself. I like the overall packaging of this vehicle. The looks, refinement, name plating, and power are very nice. I do like the BMW 330i, but not for the price of $36,000-$41,000. The following is my goal:
2001 IS300
Solar Yellow
Power Moonroof
17 in. Polished Graphite Alloy Wheels
Limited Slip Differential
Carpeted Cargo Mat
How much would you put down on a lease of 48 months? I’m guessing between $2,000-$3,000. The monthly payments should be around $450, which is great. Any input on this would greatly be appreciated.
I would not put down much money if any on a lease. I have a 36 month lease with no money down my payment is 504.00 so taking it to a 4 year term with no money down should bring the payment to about 470 or 480, so I would not put much down if I were you.
Also, it is my personal opinion, I would not lease for more then 3 years. If you do then you are in the territory where you should consider buying versus leasing.

The purpose of putting money down on a lease is to lower your monthly payment. I personally wouldn't want to pay more than $399/mo. for a leased vehicle. I probably would've gotten a Boxster or Vette if I were willing to step up to a higher payment.
So I picked up another is300, and it needs a new hood. Normally where I’m from in Chicago there’s always people parting out and an abundance of parts available in junkyards, but I’ve had no luck in finding one in GGP. I’m thinking of buying a black hood and sanding/ spray painting it with...
So ive had this for awhile and ignored it, but now i grabbed the code and it said rear right abs sensor was "out" or giving the code. I changed it the other day the old abs sensor had metal shavings on it but no gunk i probably could've just cleaned it out. But put the new one in hoping that the...
Sorry if this is redundant, I can't seem to find any threads that talked about this anymore, how do the FRS and BRZ seats fit in the is300? My stock leathers are getting pretty beat up, and the padding in my passenger seat is to s***, not to mention the general lack or shape on these.
