Received below quote from local dealer on an 09 Altima 2.5S with Convenience Package and Connection package floor mats and splash guards.
 
MSRP $25,005
Savings $3,253
Internet Sales Price $21,752
 
Price looks pretty good however I am looking to lease for 39 months, 15000 miles no money down. Dealer state lease program just changed, any idea what a lease payment would be?
 
Thanks,
Shackt

Should I do this or no? by cheeseplz

Ok so heres my question. I'm looking at buying a new altima and was wondering if it makes more sense to lease it (to have lower monthly payments) and then after 3 years just buy it outright? I'm not totally sure how leases work but to me it seems like a good way to pay less for a car upfront and then buy a depreciated car for less. If I was to buy it from the start I'd pay 2-3 times more a month wouldn't I? Yes after 5 years I'd own it but I also paid full price for a car that isn't worth that now. Like I said i'm not too sure what the advantages to leasing and then buying at the end of a lease are, most info on edmunds concerns leasing and then releasing at the end. PLEASE help me with any info you can.

If you are talking over a 6 year time frame...
 
A $28,000 Altima 2.5S w/ SL Package, 36 month lease, purchase option at lease end is going to be around $16,000 PLUS SALES TAX, so say $17,000. If you financed that $17,000 for an additional 36 months your payment would be over $510. The additional 36 month loan would cost $18,360. If you negotiated an awesome lease (as several people have reported) you are looking at $300 a month for 36 months. Total payments = $10,800. TOTAL COST TO LEASE THEN BUY $29,160.
 
You could buy it for $23,500. (People are reporting around $4,500 off MSRP on the S with SL package). Sales tax would be around $1,500. If you financed $25,000 for 72 months, you would owe $13,400 after 36 months. You would've already paid $15,120 in total payments. TOTAL COST TO BUY $30,240.
 
This really depends on your ability to negotiate a great lease. Some people have reported $290 on the 2.5S w/ SL. Some have reported $400. Even $50 a month difference is $1,800 during the life of the lease. In the long run it is probably at least less of a hassle to just buy it outright. Why even lease if you know you want to keep the car forever?

Hey Cheese, Chuck sure ran a lot of great numbers for you. As he said and you can see, it's the deal that still matters, you can go right (OR wrong) depending on all the numbers. I've been leasing cars for 25 years. Many financial people will tell you leasing is the more expensive way to get a car. I use mine for work, so I write it off and leasing is better. I always do 3 years or definitely within the warranty. I always do zero out of pocket, too. It seems really backward to me to put money down on a "rental" - you are just "borrowing" it. Put money down on a purchase only. With leasing you get into a nice car with no money and a small payment, but you own nothing at the end. Hope my opinion/input helps.
