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.

Thanks a bunch Car Man. I'll find out what happened with the MF as you stated. And I still feel like there's a little wiggle room in the negotiations.
I'm currently looking into the Sentra as a possible cheaper alternative.

If you are going to lease an 09, I would wait. The money factor will likley improve over the next couple of months. The 08 lease deal is pretty nice, but with the 09's already out; the value of the 08 will be less.

Hi,
Is this an impossible deal?
24/12k/ No money down/ Roll everything into payment/ Due at signing is first month and DMV fees, in NY
For 307 a month?
This is what the dealer quoted me then said he calculated it wrong and came back with 416 a month.
Thanks
Joe

I am interested in the 2008, moreso to save the money. This will be for my business, and I'm still deciding between lease and purchase. I'm meeting with my accountant to punch the numbers later this week, so I should be ready to buy/lease in early November. My guess is that there will be an equal or greater incentive on the 08's... can't go less given that it's almost 2009. Please correct me if I am wrong in assuming this. Thanks

if it is for your business then I would pull the trigger on the 08. You will likley be able to write off a majority of the cost anyway. if you like to switch cars often liek i do, it would be easier to get out of an 09 vs. an 08. This is do to the higher depreciation of the 08's. Good luck on your lease.

Thanks for the tip. I have no intention of getting rid of the car early. If I get a lease, I will most likely ride it out, or if I purchase, I'll keep it until it is depreciated, and then transfer it to be a personal asset, and buy an upgrade .
