    Ahhh, congrats on the new whip! Out of curiosity, why go from owning out-right, to leasing? Tax advantage for your corporation?

    Well I haven't done it yet, but I think it's the right thing to do. My s4(my primary car) has been giving me a ton of problems at 37k miles. I'd rather be worry free with a brand new car than worry about my aftermarket warranty denying my claim. I know it's not the financially smart thing to do, because im getting rid of an asset.....but, the amount that the cars will be worth when the lease would end on a new s4 isnt large enough for me to really be worried. Plus I'll have my 911.

    I was thinking this, as well. I was two seconds away from pulling the trigger on an S5, and during my due-dilligence, I discovered what an awfully unreliable and problem-plagued car they are. I'll stick with the Nissan(infiniti)/Honda/Toyota(lexus) brand.
