No ML, although the base audio is very good. More than enough for me.

Its the pretty good residuals coupled with the good MF. My finance guy says he's never seen that good a MF on the LS (.0008), usually never better than .0013 or .0014. FWIW, the MF on my GS was .0007, and about two months ago a buddy of mine leased a 2015 GS and the MF was .0009. Coupled with the 2k lease cash its a great time to lease an LS.
That just changed on Tuesday, the MF for April was .0014. I watch the terms, so I know he's not full of it. All reasons why I pulled the trigger despite the negative equity from the GS. A MF swap back to .0012-.0014 and loss of that lease cash and I'd be making the same payment even with no negative from the GS.

First Syd, now you. Hopefully the both of you can liven up the LS forums a bit together lol. Congrats and enjoy! Don't be a stranger, we love the BS truth bombs you drop every now and then.

Nice upgrade, Steve. 
They wanted 5k from me if I traded my GS in too. Me thinking that is more than what I will have paid for the remaining months. I'm sure this came across your mind. What are your thoughts on this? Why not keeping the GS and getting the LS the same time? You'd have an extra car around for a few more months.

That's an idea, but I had like $4,300 in payments remaining, plus the tax savings of $2,000, and insurance for 6 more months, call that $450, were at about $7k. Savings would have been about $100 a month on the LS, so that's $4,800. Plus I would not have been able to write off both cars for that 6 months, whereas I can write off the whole payment on the LS.
