Not that it matters to me if you take my car or not, but you are comparing a 39 month 10K a year lease to a 36 Month, 12k a year lease, in addition to a car with 14K more in options. So yes, of course you can get one cheaper by a little bit, but you aren't exactly looking at the same vehicle, and the difference is steep between the cars option wise.

As you said, you don't care about some options, so the cheaper car would work out fine for you. Not by much though.
Car1
$1111 for 10K a year, w/1800 down for 39 months on a 98K car
(avg month cost -$1157)

Car2
$1165 for 12K a year w/ 1300 down (500 transfer + shipping) for 30 months on a 112K car.
(avg month cost - $1197)

That's a $40 a month spread(or $480 more a year), and includes 2000 more miles a year. If you added just the 2K miles to the 10K a year lease at .17c a mile, that's $340 a year in miles. So, yeah, the 1st car is cheaper now by $15 a month, or exactly $180 less per year for you to get the 10K a year 2015 with almost no options versus a 2014 with 20" wheels, B&O, Full Leather, Led lights and Drivers Assist Plus Package.

Which one is a better deal really? For you , you may not like any options, and you won't drive 12K a year, so it's probably worth saving the $15 a month.

I'm still unsure on letting it go since it is a good deal and I love the car. Haven't bothered listing it anywhere yet.
