My wife and I are looking for a new car after my sister in law wrecked and totalled my wife's 2004 Sentra. We test drove an Astra XE w/ air, auto, and heated seats, and really liked it. The saleswoman told us that their are no lease options for the Astra. She also said that their were no incentives because they were "selling so quickly". (Nine hundred units in June doesn't seem all that quick to me, though.) We're not really in the best position to buy it outright because we weren't planning on replacing either of our cars for at least another 6 months.

My question is, does anyone know if their really are or are not lease options on the Astra, and if so, would it be at all possible to get an auto (for the wife, bummer) for under $300 if a lease were available? If this doesn't work out, I'll be looking for a late model Malibu Maxx.

Thanks in advance for any help.
