um… no! When you lease a vehicle you end up paying less, Ive never leased a vehicle and ended up spending over the cost of the vehicle in a 60 month period, that doesnt make sense adn Ive never heard of anything like that before either…If you have somehow done that then you my friend are indeed crazy and not to mention horrible at math.

Its a Bugatti Veyron people. You need to realize that this car is at the highest level of exotic cars right now as well as the highest level of risk for any bank or insurance agency. If it sounds unreasonable, you can always pay cash and drive it as much as you want.

I will, as soon as I find an extra $400,000 for the down payment just laying around and begging to be spent…hmmm….maybe under the sofa?

Is that buying the car for $400,000 AFTER you pay the $1.8 million to lease it? 'Cause then you end up paying somewhere around the neighborhood of $2.2 mil, which is, hmmm… about the price of a whole house in San Diego more than the original sell price of the Veyron.

If it was me, I'd lease the Veyron, and then arrange for my friends to "steal" it, I'll pay the insurance, I'll pay the cost for losing a car, yadda yadda, but in the end I'll end up with the Veyron. It's not something I'd be proud of doing, but I'd do it nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian with Christian values, but surely God can understand the immense temptation that comes in the form of the Veyron.

Probably a stupid idea anyways, and there's probably a thousand ways it won't work, but what the hey.

Actually, Leasing a Veyron is an extremely high risk for any bank in the world to take so the numbers make since. Its not like leasing a Honda Accord where the only risk is $20-$30.

On the other hand, people (who can actually afford one, not like people like us) have the ability to write most of it off anyway so having a higher payment actually benefits them.

Also, keep in mind that the residual on something like this (Veyron) is extremely LOWWWWW!!! The reason is: 1. the high risk to the bank and 2. high risk!! The residual should only be something like 20% meaning to buy the car at the end would only cost you a mere $360,000. THIS IS A STEAL!!! The car is expected to appreciate (one of the very few cars in the world that will)

So with writing it off and getting the tax benefit, and being able to buy the car at the end for under $400,000, You should make money on it. Hope you can all understand.

All you people are idiots, except for Trinidaddy. You're making this more complicated than it is. Paying $1.8 million to lease a $1.4 million car is something only an idiot would do. End of story.

Just to clear this up people, a lease is usually CHEAPER than financing with the following caveat: You own nothing at the end of the term, whereas you own the car at the end of the financing period. When you lease, you''re paying for the portion of the car you use (depreciation and a rent charge)

The only time a lease should cost more than financing is if you decide to purchase the vehicle at the end of the term. All in all though, that's a pretty ridiculous lease-2500 miles/yr? Lol.

You can’t just go buy a Veyron even if you have the money… they have all been sold. Leasing the car is more expensive than the original LIST price for it, but you’ll never buy one for that little money now.

Well, 8 million is a heck of a cash hemorrhage, but the car pulls bragging rights into it (the first street legal 1,000+ horsepower stock production car) so they're obviously going for the prestige. And from what I'd heard they're only making a few, less than a dozen, I think?

Actually Rob I heard it was more than that. According to Wikipedia the loss is closer 8 million per vehicle. I understand taking a loss to boost brand image, but I think that’s going a bit too far.
