Replying to: puri (Feb 09, 2007 11:13 am) As you are buying a condo, it may make sense for you to put off the new car lease, however there are also advantages doing the transactions in the same month. As long as your credit is good: 1) Close on the condo first. 2) Do a no money down lease if you are short on cash. Credit inquiries hit your credit report and lower your credit rating. Your mortgage company and others will make credit inquiries which will be on your record, so you creditworthiness in 6 months time will be lower than it is now and you may pay a higher interest or money factor as a result. If you lease the new car within a month of closing the condo, the inquiries and condo purchase will not have hit your credit report yet so you will get a better leasing rate.

Does the downsizing of the new Altima bother anyone else? I bought a 2005 Altima with the express intention of giving it to my son on his 17 th birthday. It was to be a reward if he proved to be a good driver with his old starter car and continued to do well in school. I got the color and features he wanted, drove it for 11 mos., and gave it to him to have for his senior year and to take to college. Well, I found out I really liked it. We are both tall. I am 6' 3" with long legs and he is 6' 4 1/2". It offered great driver leg room and position, noticeably better for us than other options in its size class. I decided I would get another for me, but since there was to be a new model with CVT in 2007, I waited. I thought it was my chance to get a good driving, nice looking car with perhaps even better mileage and room to accommadate my long legs and still have a usable back set for adults. However, the new model has over 1.5" of less front seat leg room, has lost over 3.5 " of combined front and back seat leg room, and if you look at rear seat head room, shoulder room, and leg room has one of the least roomy back seats in its class. I don't think a single member of my immediate family could sit comfortably in the back seat, unlike the previous model which could comfortably accomodate 4 good-sized adults. It looks good, but the downsize regretably nixed my purchase. I don't know what my options are now to get a good driving car with enough room yet good mileage ( in the high 20's). Oh well.
