I am returning my current leased car in July and need pointers on selecting my next car.

My budget is $600 per month with possibility of downplaying $10000 for the right car

Now because I will be looking at a luxury sports car, leasing might make the most sense

My requirements are for the most part should be a standout car and not a common one

Here’s what I have shortlisted at the moment:
1. Tesla Model 3 either performance or all wheel drive
Pros: great car, driveability, awesome tech, power and punch, green - no gas
Cons: Everyone has it in Seattle :)

2. Used Tesla Model S in the range of $40k....this is just a thought right now..coz I will have to buy it..new car lease is almost $1000..

3. Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport AWD
Pros: Same trim level as the quadrifoglio - so same looks, decent power, Affordable lease around $450, stands out, quirky but delicious
Cons: No V6, only 280 hp, reliability might be an issue but since it will be leased might be ok, again not a quadrifoglio so not amazing

4. Infiniti Q60S coupe
Pros: Extremely good looking car, coupe with 4 seats, nice interior, good ergonomics, decent power, reliable
Cons: weird handling, not the same snob value as some other luxury brands, could have been quicker but feels heavy

5. Other cars that I considered but am on the fringe:
A) Maserati Ghibli - nice car , snobbish, stands out but a little expensive on lease and too big for me
B) Jaguar XE - Great car but in the new version very underpowered engine, no supercharged V6 so a no go
C) Audi, BMW and Mercedes - Almost every other person has these in Seattle so no ..

Help me pick a car folks..I am fine with inclining towards a heart driven decision over mind since it would be a lease

Thanks!

      haha, im frugal, but having a lp on it sounds like bad leadership. Being frugal doesn't make or contribute to anybody being a leader..

    First of all, don't ever put a down payment on a lease. Secondly, BMW has by far the best lease programs on luxury vehicles, followed by Mercedes. But if you don't want either, go for the Alfa or Infiniti. Tesla leases are trash, if you want one, just buy it. Tesla has good deals on inventory models right now

      Check out sites like leasehackr to learn the basics. From what I've heard, Seattle dealers are tough to negotiate with. Be prepared to look outside of Seattle proper if you want a good deal

    I just bought an infiniti q50 - same engine and trans as q60 just a sedan. Super happy with it. Step on the gas and that 0-60 time will feel great.
    No its not a tesla. Or an M. But it's reliable, affordable, and a great value.
