You could have leased a '06 STI for:
24 months at $486 a month.
36 for $448
42 for $429

I like the look of the 05's better. If I would have purchased it it would have been close to 600 a month.

If the car is worth less then the 13000 then the bank will take the loss and I will give them back the car. Its a win,win situation other then you will not own the car unless you decide to finance retial of the car at that point.

Even if they are worth 15k then thats still 2000 towards a new car. Also on my 05 I got all the options which include 6 in dash cd player, auto dimming mirror,short shifter pkg, and upgraded security system.

From the deal you got it looks like you should have just bought the car. 399 for 65 months ouch! I thought a typical lease only last 1-2 years, maybe 3 but not 5 1/2 years.
