Thanks for all of your input. Sounds like I need to stick with the original plan for a 2LT. With $6,000 down on a 2Lt, the payments are right where I want them...the same as I'm paying now for the Grand Prix GXp. I know it's stupid, but I leased for the first time with this car, because at the time, they announced they were going to stop making Grand Prix. This was before the entire Pontiac line went away. My last Grand Prix was the lower level, so I decided I wanted to grab a new one, and this one would have to be the top of the line GXP. Leasing was the only way I could get the payments where I wanted. Then, when my lease ended back in September, I went ahead and bought it, because I was waiting on some changes to the Camaro for the 2012 model year. My payments with buying it ended up being basically the same as my lease payments, which surprised me.

Oh well, we'll see. I have my first serious talks with a dealer about a 2012 this morning (Friday). Wish me luck. I'm not a big bargaining guy.
