Exactly, I put down nearly 23k to get my payment down to $480's. We've all seen the arguments, you shoulda leased your 335i and bought Google stock with that 23k instead of putting it into a depreciating asset. How about putting that 23k into the S&P 500? Woulda been a bad move....the index is 16% lower today than it was in Dec. 2006.
