Did those other dealers factor in the rebate?

Eric Rodaman

Yes Marc -- 1,650 Nissan Rebate included. If someone has time on here could you let me know what a good lease deal for an SL (floor mats, trunk mat, trunk cargo, splash guards) MSRP 38,125. I have 3,500 in current lease I want to roll in (which is stupid, I know). 36 mos / 12k year. Put first month down or 0 down only. I'm thinking $430 to $460 range, could i do better?

Thanks.

Have you tried getting someone to take over your lease? I've never done it, but I have heard a lot of people doing this.

Marc (NJ)

Just go for the $415/mo offer. That number is not too bad, considering it is a $38k car and $3600 in remaining lease payments. Or go for an SV model?

Eric Rodaman

Yes, I have seen sites like SwapALease that you put your lease up their and someone can buy you out of it. I'm a bit skeptical of it, will need to research if anyone has used it and what their impressions were - not looking to make money, just pay balance of current lease.

Again - I should WAIT a few months, why am I so impatient?

Eric Rodaman

I want the SL for the leather interior and moonroof. I am thinking about the $415 offer but I hate to put first month and $500 down on the car upfront.

Tell them to roll over the 500 into the payments, and you'll only pay the first month if that's the case.

Marc (NJ)

So, tell them you'll take the car with just the $500 down. You'll come sign the deal and face the wheel

Eric Rodaman

Then my payments become around $430/month - still not terrible I guess. Wonder if they would let me roll that $500 in and only pay first month. However, it is a new month and the Nissan MF and Residual and incentives may change...which would probably kill this deal. Its about $44 more/month than I'm paying for my current lease - not too bad I guess....

Would really like only a max of $400/month payment for the vehicle though, think if I wait a few months, I can get that.

Took advantage of last day of March and got me Maxima SL for 35380 with taxes.

Marc (NJ)

Good deal! Lease or Finance?

mpack

Financed for 60 months

Daanswer677

Just picked up a Nissan Maxima SL in Deep Blue for 30900 before taxes

Joe.D

Killer deal! What was msrp?

Eric Rodaman

Awesome deal - your from North Jersey - can I ask where you go that deal from? Killer!!!

Daanswer677

Don't have the exact number in front of me but close to 39000 was the msrp and I was able to pick up this deal at Bergenfield Nissan

Daanswer677

I used truecar with current incentive plus military cash which was $750

Marc (NJ)

Almost to good to be true. Eric, I'm sure you're like

Eric Rodaman

Great deal Dan...really honored TrueCar? Thats amazing. Enjoy the ride. So Marc if I could snag one at that price, id be in business even with my current lease. Guess yoy have to show up at the dealer, spoke with Alex at Bergenfield, who was very nice, but couldnt get price out on phone as it is not their policy. Long drive for me. TrueCar gives me $33,120 at Bergenfield for base SL...where is 30,900???

Daanswer677

Hopefully this can be some sort of help

Fadaway

Wow that's really cheap!! One hell of a deal on that SL.

Eric Rodaman

I could only get 33120 when I ran it.

Joe.D

Eric - I'm looking at an "apples to apples" comparison of yours and Dan's deals. There are a few contributing factors to the difference in your deals, and in reality the deals are much closer than they seem.

Your deal starts with MSRP 38880 and goes down to 33120 with all incentives that you are eligible for and including dealer doc fees (savings of 5760, pretty good.)

Dan's deal starts with lower MSRP of 38125 (fewer options) and goes down to 31428 with all incentives he is eligible for (including $750 military rebate that you cannot get, I assume) and includes dealer doc fees (savings of 6697 off MSRP)

When you factor in the difference in starting MSRP ($755), and the $750 military cash difference, Dan is only getting a $187 better deal than you are.

I'd suggest taking Dan's deal into the dealer and trying to find an SL with fewer options than the one your TrueCar deal is based on. In that case, you should be able to get down to around 32,300 or even a bit lower. You won't be able to do anything about the $750 military cash that Dan got unless you are in the military or are a recent college grad (they get a similar rebate). Those rebates are direct to the dealer from Nissan, so they're either available to you or they're not, unfortunately.

Good luck!

Eric Rodaman

Dan lets say i can get 32300, which would be awesome. I have 3500 current lease im rolling in. Could you run numbers and estimate monthly lease 36mos 12k. Is it still 56%and .00003. I get estimate around 410 month with 0 down including tax. Thanks

Someone on here will helpme get into a max.

mls277

Truecar is the way to go if they honored 30k- thats incredible.

Marc (NJ)

Eric, try a lease calculator: http://www.edmunds.com/calculators/car-lease.html?sv

Eric Rodaman

Marc I use leaseguides calculator, very accurate. PS I think Apr MF and Residual for SL is 54% and .00003. Went down 2% on residual, why?

Eric Rodaman

That's the goal, $32 to $32,500 and we have a winner.
Winner, winner chicken dinner Marc!

im not gay but $20 is $20

Do you have your heart set to an SL? Why not try an SV? I'm happy with mine

Eric Rodaman

SL has the leather and moonroof - set on an SL. SV and Platinum, a bit too much car.

im not gay but $20 is $20

The SL is a higher model than the SV. The SV has the leather. You will lose the panoramic moonroof and cooled seats.

Eric Rodaman

Yes, I know, that's why I want the SL for the leather and moonroof.
Don't really need all the features of Platinum or the stiffer ride of the SR.

Eric Rodaman

Tell me to pull the trigger and stop this nonsense.
My Max SL is waiting for me! hehe

im not gay but $20 is $20

Do the deal with the dealer that gave you 410 or 415 a month with all the trade in. Just don't get white please! too many around my area now lol.

Eric Rodaman

If I still can get $410 to $415 month with my current lease trade in taken care of (only putting down first month and/or $500) I'm doing it.

The wife likes the white...

I'm more of a superblack / silver fan.

Not going to get the white.

$20 where are you from again? I'm in Central NJ

im not gay but $20 is $20

I'm in northern Jersey by Nutley/Clifton area

CubbieBlue28

Forgot to load these. As you can see, the "discount" was hidden in my trade. If you think my 2012 SV Sport with 60k was worth 23k, just let me know lol

im not gay but $20 is $20

Did you pay closer to sticker price?

Eric Rodaman

$20... $454 with 1st month down (3500 of current lease rolled in).....winner? Think about it without my lease....357 area???

Marc (NJ)

Ask the dealer for a breakdown of all the numbers, then run them.
