Hi t_c. Where did you get that money factor and residual value from? They seem off. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Altima 2.5 S Sedan with an automatic transmission and 15,000 miles per year are .00066 and 56%, respectively.
 
Using these numbers, an MSRP of $21,940, and a selling price of $17,940, I estimate that this car's zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $177.
 
This is not a realistic lease payment though because the selling price that you mentioned is much lower than what you would be able to get on a lease in the real world. I suspect that you used the $1,250 consumer cash that Nissan is providing on 2008 Altima 4-cylinder Sedans right now to arrive at it. Unfortunately, this cash is not compatible with Nissan's special lease program.

Is this a good deal by doc519

I am looking for a 2009 Altima 2.5 CVT with convinience plus package. I have a current lease 2006 altima $1000 left 5 more months. I went to a dealer and quoted me with the "cheapest" price according to him $280 for 36 or 270 for 39 months with 500 down and all the payments upfront (tax, title etc.).
 
First of all Car_man is this a good deal. Secondly the manager told me I would have to pay the remainder of my previous lease, which was incorporated into this quote. Doesn't the dealer absorb that cost? Last time I was trading in my Maxima for the 06 Altima the dealer took it 6 months earlier and I didn't have to pay a dime. And finally, there is a $500 dollar rebate from Nissan but the manager told me I don't qualify for it due to the fact that I am leasing and not financing. Is that also true?
 
Thanks

Well thats misleading. I mean regardless if you purchase or lease, why would the rebate money be different for the two? Its like a sneaky way for the manufactures to draw you in.

Frequently, rebates are reduced or eliminated in situations where below-market financing is offered, whether lower interest on a loan or lower money factor on lease. It's a standard part of the game these days. In reality, what the companies are essentially doing is using the money they would have provided in rebate form to subsidize a lower finance rate.

Hi doc519. It is difficult for me to tell you if the lease payment that you were quoted for this car is a good deal without knowing what its MSRP and selling price are. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without these numbers, it is difficult to tell how much of a discount you are bring given. Let me know what they are and I'll tell you what I think.
 
As far as your current lease goes, why should the dealer absorb the cost of getting you out of it early. One way or another you are going to have to pay to get out of a lease five months before its scheduled end date (unless a manufacturer is running a special early lease termination program...and I am not aware of any from Nissan right now). If the dealer says that they are paying your remaining payments for you, that just means that they are not giving you as large a discount on your new car as you would have normally been able to get.
 
The $500 customer cash incentive that Nissan is providing on the 2009 Altima in October is not compatible with its special lease program. Neither is the new $500 additional bonus cash enhancement that Nissan just announced on the 22nd.

Any word on the incentives for November? I'd imagine they'd want to push their cars thru the current economy...

Hi brott8. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39 month lease of a 2009 Altima 2.5S with an automatic transmission and 12,000 miles per year are .00191 and 61%, respectively. This money factor would increase by .00015, to .00206, if you choose to have your car's security deposit waived. So the factor that you were quoted looks slightly high.
 
As far as the selling price goes, the car that you are interested in probably has a spread of at least $1,500 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $2,750 discount that you were quoted looks very good to me. If you'd like, you can hop on over to the "Nissan Altima Prices Paid & Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately. Just keep in mind that the cash incentives that Nissan is providing on this car are not compatible with its special lease program.

Greetings mouse. Nissan's October incentive program is scheduled to run through November 3rd. It is difficult to say what its November incentives will look like at this point. I can tell you though that Nissan recently (October 22nd) introduced an additional $500 bonus cash incentive on cars and an additional $1,000 on trucks that's good for the rest of October.
