since you are an existing leasee, you should be able to get out of it now.
good deals to be had.

I would recommend that you call Nissan Credit (if that is who the lease is through) and get a payoff quote (you can also do this online). The dealer can payoff your trade based upon this payoff quote - it really does not matter that it is a lease. I would also post information about your vehicle in the real-world trade in values section of the carspace auto forums on edmunds to get a realistic trade in value (in addition to kbb and edmunds TMV). There is a possibility that your vehicle is worth more than the trade in value (especially at the end of the lease).

I had 6 payments left on my 05 Pathfinder and went to my local Nissan dealer. They were more than willing to pay off the lease and get me into a loaded 08 Armada LE for more than $10k off sticker. Love the new truck but alot to learn with all the new toys!

That seems like a great deal! What was the MSRP of the 08 LE? What were the remaing payments on the Pathfinder? Did you end up buying or leasing?
Where was the dealer?
Thanks in Advance,
Tom

Sticker was $52,290 paid $42,150 after the $4500 rebates. I had 6 payments of $345 left on the lease and they paid off the truck to Nissan as well. I ended up buying this time because I hated watching the odometer. So fay I love it, lots of cool toys!!!

Thanks for the reply! That's an amazing deal.
Do you know what the residual on the pathfinder was?
I wonder if the dealer thought there was some equity there and bought the lease out to resell?

Hi
Relatively new to this negotiating game and just wanted to see if anybody had a view on the following:
4 x 2 LE with a MSRP of $46,170
inv: $41,878
Capital: $44,133 (inlcudes $2,850 of payments on existing lease, 6 months early due to near max miles)
Money factor: 0.00140
Residual: 52%
39 month, 15k pa
Down $1,000 including first month
Monthly: $634.57 plus tax
I'm sure I can do better but the dealer keeps claiming that the current $4.5k rebate is only for sales rather than leases etc.
Thanks for any views

Just wanted to give you my opinion. The $4,500 rebate will not be allowed with the NMAC money factor and residual value. You could use the rebate and then go through an independent bank (but most probably the money factor will be much higher and the residual value will be a lower percentage). The only concern I have is your existing lease. What type of vehicle is it? I would recommend getting a payoff quote on your current leased vehicle. I would also recommend posting your leased vehicle in the real-world trade in values to see how much it is worth. I would be interested to know what your payoff value is compared to the trade-in value. I would think that about $5,000-6,000 off of the MSRP is all you are going to get if using the NMAC buy-rate money factor and residual value.

Thx for the info. The existing leased vehicle is a 2005 Infinit FX35 (zero down, 39 m lease with 12k pa - I'm at 38k and the lease terminates in July). 6 payments of $475 (inc tax) left. end of lease residual = $24911.60. Pay off value = 27,461.28 and KBB trade value = $24685.
Both old and new lease thru NMAC
