It's a no-win situation, really. Lease, traditional financing, cash - they're all losers. The depreciation is insane these days. 3 years from now a $65K Cayman is just another used car that you can't give away for $25K (unless you've got a 100K mile bumper-to-bumper extended factory warranty). This is true of all new cars. The risk of an off-warranty electronic or mechanical problem on these cars has killed the resale market. I've sworn off of buying any more brand new sports cars.
