Hello folks, any and all feedback is appreciated. I need 4wd, 3rd row seat and 7,000# tow capacity. I know the Pathy doesn't quite make the last cut, but I have always liked the VQ35DE engine and might be willing to live with the towing shortfall if the deal is right. After seeing a bazillion TV ads for the current lease special ('06 SE $339/mo., 39 mo./12k mi./yr, $1,999 initial payment = $1,660 consumer down payment + $339 expires 7/5/06), I decided to test the waters with a local dealer on a 15k mi./yr 36 mo. lease. The following vehicle was on their lot: 2006 Pathfinder SE 4x4 $28,650/26,496 (MSRP/Invoice) 1,700/1,474 (P01 - SE Premium Pkg) 1,550/1,345 (G01- SE Comfort Pkg) 140/98 (F10 - Body Color Side Molding) 140/108 (B10 - Splash Guards) 80/51 (R93 - Sunroof Wind Deflector 605/605 (Destination Charge $33,005/30,276 (Total w/ Options) The offer: 39 mo. (they said 36 mo. was cost prohibitive), 52% residual, 0.00050 money factor, $31,875 selling price, $2,500 down for $399/mo. Tax, title, lic. fees not included. They made no mention of the current $500 cash incentive. -OUCH- I also asked for a hard trade-in appraisal on a '04 vehicle which currently shows ~$22k as a monthly Manheim Auction average. Local dealer lots are asking ~$27k. The trade-in offer was $19k. -DOUBLE OUCH- Obviously there is plenty of room for negotiation, but I would like to get a comparison of the current lease terms before responding to the dealer. Assuming purchase at invoice, can anyone confirm what the actual factory supported 15k mi./yr lease payments -sans dealer padding- would work out to on this vehicle for 36 and 39 mo. terms in the NE region? Based on some of the good info gleaned from this forum, perhaps it makes the most sense to base lease calculations on $0 down, but I don't like the idea of financing tax, title and DMV fees. Should I elect to NOT roll those into the lease if possible? I'm a bottom-line cost, rather than lowest monthly payment, kind of guy. Again, I welcome your help and comments. Thanks! |

I am new to leasing and find the whole shopping experience painful and have given up many times. I need a new car and would like to lease the Pathfinder SE 4x4 with comf. and prem package and also leather. I would prefer to do it over the phone and via internet but getting the run around and some dealers refuse unless I come in for a "lease presentation." I don't want to get taken. I did get one general quote of sticker of $33,500 for what SE 4x4 with leather/prem/and comfort package and money factor of .00084. I want the 39 month lease, no trade in, $3000 grand down, 12,ooo miles. Any suggestions on the best way to proceed, I really want to move forward. HELP thanks JB

I've been doing most of my negotiating for an 06 LE 4WD with Navigation package over the internet. I've been contacting and getting quotes from various dealers from Albany to Jersey to Baltimore. The best quotes i've been getting are from Jersey, outside of NYC. The cheapest one is with splash guards, floor mats and sun roof deflector. MSRP-$38, 565 Invoice-$35,025(after manny rebate) Quote-$33,195(after manny rebate) 1) Is this too good to be true? 2 grand UNDER invoice? am i going to get a bait and switch or other BS once i go in and pursue this? Realistically, what horror stories have you heard regarding stuff like this and what should I expect. 2) At what point do i spring on the dealer that i want to lease? Over the internet? After i go all the way out to the showroom? 3) I have an excellent credit score of 792. What Money factor should I expaect/demand? 4) Realistically, what differences are there for a 36 vs. a 39-month lease. 5) should i be armed with an actual lease proposal from an alternative leasing company when i walk in to the dealership in case i don't like the lease that Nissan's leasing company proposes for me? I'm also considering buying or leasing a Certified Pre-Owned 05 LE 4WD that i found, instead. i'm not quoite sure how to calculate the lease deal for a used car. I can't find any advice online for leasing Pre-Owned. any advice? Bill |

Hello all - Re. the $1999 + tax and tags $339 per month lease. This deal ends on 7/5 - what is the best way (and when) to get the best deal on an SE w/ comfort and premium? Is this a bottom line price or will dealers move substantially from this price? I am a bit particular on color - Red Brawn..... Should I email a dozen dealers and see who can do better than this deal or should I pretend I have not heard of this deal at all? Thanks in advance for any reponses or advice. - George

Replying to: Car_man (Jun 22, 2006 2:23 am) We thought it seemed high for this particular vehicle. What is the best we should be able to do? Also, what's up with the manufacturer's rebate I saw referenced earlier--is that still available?

Hi, I am looking to understand whether the following lease offer is a good deal. This is out of Boston. 2006 LE Nissan Pathfinder 4WD (Loaded, everything but NAV) MSRP- 36395 RV - 51% MF- 0.0050 39 month lease 12K miles/year $4500 down which covers first month and fees $330/month I know the MSRP is more than what this SUV is selling. How much should I expect the monthly payment to drop if I were to pay around invoice which is around $33K? Also, are the number of miles negotiable? I would probably want to up it to 15K/yr. How much more would they tack on? Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

Replying to: btsapalas (Jun 22, 2006 10:03 pm) There's no point in hiding the fact that you want to lease your new truck from the dealer. In fact, they need to know that you want to because the $500 customer cash that Nissan is providing on this truck is not compatible with its special lease program. 39 months is the way to go when leasing an '06 Pathfinder right now. This is Nissan's most attractive term. If you were to lease any '06 Pathfinder through Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp. right now for 39 months, its buy rate lease money factor should be .00050. Just make sure that you get a good price and the buy rate money factor and you'll be fine. There's no need to get quotes to lease this truck through independent banks. First, the independent banks with the most attractive lease programs usually do not deal directly with the general public. This is a moot point anyhow because I highly doubt that any independent bank's lease program will be anywhere near as attractive as NMAC's current program for this model.
