I want something fun to drive and sporty. I work from home so I'll only use it for getting around town, road trips, going out to clubs (read: impressing girls) etc. I've been looknig at the audi a4s, infiniti coups, and lexus IS's but I'm not sure I can lease those for under 400$ a month. Right now I'm just driving a used 2005 toyota corolla and paying 250$ a month on it. Technically I could afford like 1000$ a month on a car but I'd feel stupid doing that so I'm trying to keep it around 400$ a month. I don't really want to put a down payment on it either. Thanks for any tips guys.

I contacted my bank, looks like I can spend about 23k on a loan from them and pay around 400$ a month, so if I went the buying route that's how much I could afford.

As far as leasing goes I'm not sure what I could get for 400$ a month.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you looked at Acura at all? They've got some cute, sporty models that might work for a lease payment in your range.

$450 a month, fully loaded 08' Dodge Charger, Orange Daytona. Real eye popper and fast, can't go wrong with it trust me.

I've always bought japanese cars, I've seen those chargers around though and they are sweet looking. Also if I lease one I suppose I won't have to worry about repair or maintenance. Tempting =) I'll have to test drive one

Hey there,
I too had a bit of a cash problem as far as owning a sporty car is concerned. I came across the site link removed by Moderator - unauthorized advertising while surfing the net, they have some very good leasing deals. I have leased a car for 1 year and at the end of the lease period I even managed to buy the car. You can try out the site too. See if they have any cars that interest you. Best of luck!!:)

Try Accord or Dodge Caravan. They're cool and about that price range when leased.
