    My work is 2 miles from my home.

    I get a company car every month for 1 week.

    I only drive my daily driver 3 weeks out of the month.

    12 weeks out of the year (roughly) I'm in a company car

    On top of the regular company cars sometimes I get the cool ones.

    The three cars are the only ones to choose from, nothing else.

    Mileage is not a factor.

    I barely go anywhere

    When the summer is here I drive the bird.

    Trust me, I HATE the concpet of a lease....... but when a high end car is accessable to me at a DIRT cheap cost.... it is very enticing.

    I would expect this to occur maybe around Jan- Feb

    Buying the car is not an option, too damn expensive
    Other vehicles are not an option

      I'd go with the 320. Being deisel, you'll get better milage, and it's a higher level than the 230. Even though neon=sexy, mb=pimp. If this is what you really want to do, and you'll be fine with the decision, then do it

        how much do you still owe on teh knee on? how will it be paid off, and how much has been sunk into it already w/payments?

        IF he drives so little w/his current rides,why spend so much on one????

          i love the C230...but since you already have the bird maybe it would be nice to drive an E320 in the winter

            I think the real question is if they make a nitrous kit for the Benz [img]smile.gif[/img]

              not for a leased benz...can we say shattered piston on a 50,000 leased(rented) car.

              Stay neon, or finance a smaller benz. Your gonna get to mod bug and will have to suppress it.

                Leased diesel does not seem useful or practical.

                    I'm soooo surprised that the neon is holding its own against the benz'es

                            damn that's alot of torque? what times would that car run.. jesus. Well alot to consider here. Is diesel generally cheaper than gas? Here it is. You have the neon for such and such a month.. with what a 5 year loan or so? So you get a high end car in the meantime... then go finance a regular vehicle. So for now you get a kick *** ride! Did you actually plan on keeping the neon forever? Just a thought

                            Neon 10 years = neon &gt; benz&gt; ? whatever car you get then.

                            I dunno, you only live so long.. go for it

                              Deisel rated at 37 mpg... magazines have seen 47 mpg

                              Expected times - High 14's... dunno about mid 14's

                              I want a fuel economical car that is cheap.

                              Benz will stop me from modifying the car
