Lease a Porsche Boxster for $590, But Watch that Asterisk!

Tes, it's true, you can lease a brand new Porsche Boxster for only $590 a month, with a $4,985 down payment due at lease signing, of course.

The lease runs for 36 months, or three years -- but watch that asterisk!

The teeny-tiny fine print in yesterday's Wall Street Journal tells us that the lease only only 30,000 miles during those three years. Which means you can only drive the car 27.4 miles per day, unless you want to pay the thirty cents a mile overage.

Now that is what we call a low mileage lease.
