The initial payment is a bit too high for it to work out in your favor...

In my experience, leasing works out best on BMWs, VWs, Jeeps and any other vehicle that holds it value well as long as they offer a low payment at signing ($0 to <10%).
Mods are possible if you can return it to stock, so keep the original parts or plan on private sale. In many cases you can make a profit (BMW & Jeep) if you're willing to put up with the hassles of selling the car and parts separately.

Be sure to read any fine print about early termination... ex: You find a buyer willing to pay greater than payoff with a year or more left on the lease...
