IS250, 328i, G35, Acura TL, C350, S40, S60, even the Koreans are making big horsepower lately. Lotsa' worthy competitors. Is she even gonna' stay in the same segment? Sure she doesn't have SUV fever or sports car/coupe/vert fever?
I would come down squarely on the side of leasing the first three years (or maybe two) vs buying the next 3 years. A very no hassle way to enjoy a car in warranty with free service. And not particularly more expensive, if at all, than the depreciation and maintenance on a 3 year old CPO for another 3 years in total. I mean you figure the CPO should have a significantly lower total ownership cost for 3 years, but IMHO it's about the same as a lease and that's definitely true on the monthly payment side.
Free service, hmmm, that leaves the Saab and the BMW right? Everyone else is customer pay, or can you purchase the Audi Advantage lately?
