Leasing in New York
ANyone else having trouble getting a lease in NY? It seems that leasing companies are gettin gout of NY due to some stupid law that says if you get in an accident, the person can go after the company, not the individual.
My dealer says that he only has 2 lease companies left, and they only will offer 48 month leases, and the lease payments are still high. On a $31000 car he's "estimating" low $500s.
Anyone else have better luck than me in NY?

That is not a lease....its a finace with a balloon payment in the end but u own the car....in a lease u do not own the car. U can trade the car in early and in a lease u would be responsible for the payment not made if u decide to get rid of the car.

Balloon payments and leases are basically the same thing. They have balloon payments in Texas as well, since they don't allow leases. It's just another way to get around restrictive lease laws.
Maybe that would work for you instead of a lease, RX8lover.

Seriously, where did you get the idea that leasing is not alowed here?

(edit : I just went and asked one of our lawyers to remind again why we never leased in Texas- it's because you get double taxed. Not only do you get taxed on the overall amount financed, but you get taxed on every payment. Not that you guys really care, but I thought I'd try to redeem my info a bit)
