It's paid for!!!
I'm 61 years old. At this point in my life, no loans or debt. If we can't pay for it-we don't buy it.

I'm looking at about 50k down on a 70K car for $350 a month. It could change by the time my Stingray is delivered though.

Re-finance or pay it off quickly.

Credit is an easy trap to get into, many talk about their high return in investments as a reason to keep piling it on. My Dad always told me I could work for a bank or for myself, I have always chosen to for myself. I guess I would only caution people on spending tomorrows income now and paying interest to do so.
Not knocking anyone, just giving unsolicited advice.
AMEN!

How much is the residual value after 39 months? (amount you can buy it for at lease end)

Good post, there's no cut and dried answer to this finance question. Depends on your situation. If you're making payments from your salary I'd say keep the financing within your comfort zone, however if you have the assets to pay cash and they're invested and earning income it wouldn't make sense to liquidate assets earning 4-5% to avoid paying 1 or 2% interest. If you're in that situation you're better off financing as much as possible and let your money earn a couple extra points for you.

Still waiting on the delivery of my order, so I don't have the finance contract yet. My estimate would be approximately $37k to $40k for the residual.

Not sure what I will do in 39 months...may just turn it in and get another one!

Leasing works for me, as the Stingray is just a summer vehicle and my winter vehicle is a Lincoln Navigator. The Nav's lease is up this year and I am replacing with the 2015 Navigator in September. To me it's the cheapest way to own two nice vehicles.
