Hi mikers1981. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. While most manufacturers assume some sort of discount from MSRP in their officially advertised deals, I doubt that Nissan is using a selling price of dealer invoice. The selling price used to arrive at the advertised payment probably assumes some sort of reasonable discount that can be beaten by consumers who live in an area that has a decent level of competition.

Wow, that's still a high money factor. I guess we probably won't see lower rates until next year

when did lease rate come down, i was at 2 nissan dealers this weekend, i am tier one, and its still .002 (4.8%) they said., yours at .00149 (3.56%)...when did it change....also called an out of state nissan dealer, and got .002...so if it came down, it was not reflected this weekend.

you claim you got this but wont say from which Broward county florida nissan dealers of which there are 5. i went to all...none are selling at 89-90% of msrp as you claim.
 
i wish you provided me with the dealer you went to..but o-well.
 
i went to all 5, 2 of them gave me on a msrp on a 2013 2.5SV w/ packages etc, a sales price of 25412 (93.6%) of sales price and the other 93.25% of msrp or a sales price of 25317. all the others were at 94-95% of msrp.
 
using the best price, the deal including 1000 down and after paying taxes regi, and 1st payt etc, left 434 toward cap reduction.
 
final tally 319. plus broward county 6% sales tax=19=338.
 
the figures of nathenek of 296 plus 6% tax for a total payment of 316, based on a 89-90% selling price is not attainable by the 5 soputh florida broward county dealers, so says my research.
 
i also got professional after market tinting, and most important VIN # etching no charge.
 
now let me explain about VIN # etching...dealers charge about $175 for this. but it will save you on your insurance premium about $19-21 per month.
***PS---shame on you nathenk...you take place in this conversation, then bail...its difficult to believe you after my extensive , exhaustive research.
 
as for negotiating a lease , and the dealer gives you the national deal, you gotta do homework, check dealers thru-out the usa, see what their msrp to sales price is,,,all the other numbers are set. RV is 60% of msrp, the money factor is what it is for tier 1 if u have v.good credit. these arent numbers the dealer moves off of.
 
the number dealers move on is msrp to sales price....and if you know how to figure a lease, and there are plenty of websites to know and understand, you can go into a dealer with your numbers, and get it. if not do as I did and walk and go to another dealer. Im fortunate, i have 5 (actuall 8 less than an hour awayy. good luck all.

you have got a lot of homework to do Im afraid, and sorry to say...i did it and you can too to get the best deal you can.
 
as for negotiating a lease , and the dealer gives you the national deal, you gotta do homework, check dealers thru-out the usa, check different areas, east vs west vs south etc, just pick any four random dealers or better yet look for the mega dealers/auto malls etc..., see what their ratio of msrp to sales price is,,,all the other numbers are set. RV is 60% of msrp, the money factor is what it is for tier 1 if u have v.good credit. these arent numbers the dealer moves off of.
 
so after msrp, negotiate a price, your sales price...I found dealers in my area were at 94-95% of msrp, i got two at 93.25 and 93.6% of msrp.....they started at 97%...after that, I try to put little down, in my case i went for 1000 down , 338 for first payment,228 for tax etc, and 434 toward cap cost reduction.
 
the number dealers move on is msrp to sales price....and if you know how to figure a lease, and there are plenty of websites to know and understand, you can go into a dealer with your numbers, and get it. if not do as I did and walk, then go to another dealer. Im fortunate, i have 5 (actually 8 less than an hour awayy. good luck all.

i was offered a 2013 2.5 sl with tech package for 39 month 15k. $4000 down and $270 a month. I was wondering if this a good deal and if there is anything I should be cautious about because everything I've read on here hasn't really come close to this.

Hey mikers1981. The redesigned Altima just came out. Give it a little while and the support will eventually come.

Hi steen013altima. Nissan's September lease program came out on the 5th. The .00149 money factor for the 2013 Sedan has been available since then. Some dealers may be trying to mark this factor up though.

ummm...$4000 down on a 39 month lease, way too high.
 
approx figures bc I dont know msrp etc.
 
but an SL2.5 msrp of .............................................28800
selling price 26800 (about 93% of msrp is a good price)+destination595=================27400
residual 60% of msrp = 17280
gives you payt rental charge of 259 + interestmonthly (money factor .002) +89 . total payment before monthly sales tax 348.
this is with 500-1000 down, which would cover 1st month and regi/tax etc.
 
so 270 w/ 4K down, equating to 370 is too high IMO by about 20-25. so payt w/ 4K down should be 245-250.
 
good luck

thanks...it equates to 4/10th of an interest point, and lowers payments by about 15-20 for tier one.
 
Ive leased 10 cars in my lifetime, the last 4 nissans, Ive never had a dealer mark the money factor up , because it doesnt come from them but from the nmlc, or nmac in nissans case
 
the only way to mark it up is if your credit score doesnt make the mark or grade. tier one Ive come to find out from nissan only is credit score of 710 and above,...not 720 which is toyotas or even 740on GM's, i dont know why 710 , but it is..
 
so if your score is that or above, getting tier one .00149 shouldnt be a problem.
