So there are no luxury packages, cold weather packages, sport package deals. Each and every fucking thing added to the price - even power seats. The base model that I priced out ended up being $56k. But still, their lease program is/was 40 months not 36. When I asked the guy to do that math he got all quiet. Let's see, 40 months at $1100 is $44,000. Hm. And the residual was a ridiculous $36k. And that was his 2nd offer. First offer was stupider. We laughed, then we left.
Paint - $495
Wheels - $2190
Partial leather (PARTIAL!!) $2990
Cold weather package (basically heated seats and wheel) $2680
Touring package (6 cd changer, parking assist - yes it comes with a cassette deck otherwise!) $4500
Convenience package (sunroof, xenons) $3860

Yeah, it adds up, but it's pretty cheap to start, and you get to say you own (and be seen in) a Porsche, which has to be pretty important for someone buying a base Cayenne.
Paying $44,000 to own a $56k car for 40 months when that car will be worth $36k afterwards just doesn't make sense. Maybe they just have shitty lease deals, but that's just insane. And considering the cost of a car to be whatever monthly rate the finance guy pushes on you smacks of being taken advantage of. Most any credit union or bank will offer a well-employed person with good credit 3.9% or so financing on a new car, so just go in with a cash offer based on your outside financing. Based on the $56k MSRP (which you probably don't need to pay, anyway), a monthly payment for 40 months which would pay off the entire $56,000 with interest in 40 months is only $1,495. Paying $1,100 a month to have nothing at the end makes absolutely no sense. Either the math is wrong, or Porsche only offer horrendous lease rates.
