IIRC, the residual on a 991 S cab is .73 and top-tier MF is 0.002. My car was MSRP 131K and I pay roughly $1440 incl. NJ tax (0 down).
Wait, so you mean with Porsche, if you buy miles at the beginning it's more than buying during the lease? (30 vs 24). That doesn't seem logical...?

$1440 is really good for a 131k one.
The best I was offered was 7.5 down, 1100/month 24months 5k mi 100k car. Seemed pretty outrageous to me..

None :/

My only concession with the two convertibles I've owned is to always leave a window open or the top down if it's not raining and at least the doors unlocked if it is raining. I've had random little things stolen, but never had the top cut or a window broken.

Long Haul isn't a concern for me cause I don't plan to own it for longer than the 2-3 year lease period
I used to have a 986 Boxster a few years ago, and damn that thing was NOSIEY (top down is fine, but top up! It was hard to have a conversation without yelling)

Z4/E93 335/E93 M3 have all been super quiet. i need to drive the new boxster with the top up on the freeway to see how the wind noise is..
