CAMARO6 - View Single Post

So I've come to the conclusion that the car I want is a Camaro6 SS and my options are:

Build and buy the 2SS I want. (If career path is willing next fall/winter)
or
Lease then buy the 2SS I want. (I can currently afford this)

I've been all over the Chevy website trying to create exactly what I want. (Because locally no one has the option combination I'm looking for) And it seems that 48/12k comes to low 5XX's. (Buying would be closer to 700)

Seems like people aren't putting money down on these leases (Or very little, less than the 10% which the Chevy website says you have to put down)

I guess I seem to be having an issue using these manual calculators and I have a couple questions maybe people who are more versed in car deals could help me with.

Optioned out my 2SS is coming to 47500, I don't mind doing the 48/12k I just feel it's a safe option. What should I be seeing for lease payments? 525 seems like a high ball quote from the Chevy website especially since their calculations force 10% down. (So in clarification of question, what should I ideally be looking at for a price)

And in reading this thread I'm curious if someone could clarify better why putting money down on a lease is worse than putting money down on a purchase loan? And is putting money down on a lease bad if I plan on purchasing the car after the lease?

Thanks in advance for the input!
