seems strange. Also to tell everybody how much do you make... I had several people asking me about my profession and income after started to sell my Range Rover on Ebay. Why people are asking that ? It is a private matter, and should not be discussed in public. Whether I make 15,000USD as a Pizza delivery guy or being a plastic surgeon making 750k/year. BTW if that is true then I choosed a bad profession ! So my 2 cents is : to able to lease a 128k car you are required to make 128k/year normally. That is true if you not have 2 more lease or financed cars, etc. So if you make 250k/year you are wery well qualified for a Z8. And if I were you and have that money , I'd buy one instantly. Everybody lives only once, and this is a lifetime opportunity. I always drives a more expensive car then I can "safely" afford... But when I'm going to be 60 y/o I want to tell my grandson, " you know son, when I had that nice BMW back there I was so happy ... "
