I don’t see how that math works out. A base model 911 C4S has estimated lease payments well over $1500/mo, not including insurance.

Perhaps in a state with no sales tax?

Lease offers are regional (down to the county level sometimes) and can easily swap a lease payment by hundreds of dollars, especially on something like a 911. Lease offers also change monthly. It's nearly impossible to know if a given number is reasonable for a lease. One person can lease something on December 1 for $1k a month and it can be available for $600/mo a month later.

In California, so no upfront sales tax on lease, but ~$100/mo of the payment goes to sales tax. Total payment w/ tax is around $1150.

Rough numbers: 2016 Heavily optioned C4S Manual- MRSP $125K, negotiated down to $105. Residual is like $75K for C4S w/ Manual. 3 years, 10K miles a year. The Money factor is whatever the lowest PFS was at the time (you can look it up on forums and just demand the base rate).
