Here's my guess:

2009 BMW X5 xDrive48i
$799 Lease/36 months
$2,500.00 down payment
10,000 miles per year
$44,173.00 buy out at lease end
Buy for $40,199.00 <= that probably should say $70,199 for retail purchase
MSRP $74,870.00

10k miles/16tkm a year is useless unless you intend to use it solely as a status-mobile in NYC.

NYC'ers are afforded one of the most comprehensive mass transit systems, not to mention an abundance of taxi services...oh and most have everything they could possibly need within 1/4 miles radius of their home. My X sees less than 10k miles annually as it's garaged all week and used for getaways or road trips on some weekends.

Different strokes...

Not true, my lease is 10k miles a year and I'm going to be under 30k at turn in. (that's miles btw, you can convert it to Km at your leisure )

Why the hell would anyone ever use a car in NYC, with the exception to get out of the city anyway (AKA to where I am right now...) Even our X with only moderate weekend use makes 12k.

Good question, I don't know, I don't live in NYC anymore, I live in the 'burbs. When I did, I garaged my car on Long Island, used it mostly for getting to/from Hamptons in Summer and going skiing in VT and upstate NY in the winter.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with good public transportation; in fact it's a good thing. However, why get a BMW X5 when a smaller, less expensive, and more efficient vehicle will do (a hatchback, coupé, or compact sedan)? If I lived in NYC, I'd just get an Astra or Mini Cooper for the occasional weekend journey.
