Carman... was I ripped off or did I do ok?

I just leased a 2008 Altima Coupe 2.5 with Premium package, mats, and chrome door plates. MSRP was $27,840. I believe I paid $26700 which includes the $595 Acquisition fee, my first months payment, tags, doc fee, etc. The Money factor was .00240 (ouch) and the residual was 57%. I did a 39 month lease with 12,000/year miles or 1,000 miles per month. I was told that my monthly payment would go up $25 to do a 36 month lease so I stuck with the 39 even though I originally wanted 36. I am paying $415/month which includes TN state tax. The first payment of course is not due for another month. Without rolling in the acquisistion fee and first month the payment would have been around $398.
Thanks! I feel a little weird about the deal but then again I don't think I did too horribly. That money factor is just very high but I got the exact car I wanted. It was the only of this color combination in our region. I got winter frost with the blonde leather.

Thanks Rick. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the Altima that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing what this vehicle's selling price is in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I am sure that either myself or another knowledgeable community member would be happy to give you their opinion of this deal if you let us know what these numbers are.

Thanks to you to, Will. $1,000 under dealer invoice is am amazing selling price for a leased 2008 Altima Sedan. the money factor that you were quoted is slightly high though. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s May buy rate for a 39 month lease of an '08 Altima Sedan 2.5 S is only .00097.

Thanks flyinlynx. This car's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid with 15,000 miles per year are .00240 and 55%, respectively.

I am looking to lease an 08 Altima S CVT with Convenience. The MSRP is about $22,900 and invoice appears to be about $21,900. I am interested in doing a 36 or 39 month lease with about $1000 down.
Any current info on May money factor and what my payments should be would be most appreciated. An recommendations on dealers in Northern NJ also welcome.
I would like to do it this weekend when my 05 Altima lease is up.
Thanks

Leasing a coupe and trading in my VW

Hi! I'm going to lease an altima coupe and I've been reading so much about not putting much $ down when leasing a new car- and it makes sense, but I have a car that I will be trading in- an '01 Jetta- how do I go about this when all of the dealers I've talked to expect me to use my trade-in as a down payment? I appreciate any help on this!
Also, the dealer I went to offered to put a sunroof into the basic model rather than have me upgrade to the next model. Has anyone had this offered? The deal they were going to give me was 4000 for my trade-in and 250/month.

Hi Mike. The money factor that you were charged is right in line with NMAC's buy rate for the 2008 Altima Coupe. So you did fine with this aspect of your deal. If you want this car, that's the price that you had to pay. As far as the selling price goes, I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for Altima Coupes right now, but you may be able to get an idea by hopping over to the "Nissan Altima Prices Paid & Buying Experience" discussion.

Hi ngordon. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Nissan Altima Sedan S CVT with 15,000 miles per year are .00087 and 55%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00097 and 54%. If you were to lease this car with only 12,000 miles per year, its residual values would be 1% higher.

Hi hillscar. While dealers can encourage you to use any equity that you have in your trade as a down payment for your lease, they cannot force you to do so. You are free to sell your Jetta privately, sell it to another dealership like CarMax, or have the dealer that you are leasing from cut you a check for it.
