Closer to pulling the trigger by btsapalas
Jun 22, 2006 (11:03 pm)

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?

792 credit score doesn't make the deal any better for you unless you can find a better loan myself.
 
all money factor are preset by NMAC

what about other leasing companies?
does anyone know a reputable leasing company?
 
also, i'm being told by a Nissan dealership in Baltimore that NMAC won't lease to New York residents. does anyone know if this is true?

National $339 month lease by gmarga56
Jun 27, 2006 (7:32 pm)

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

Car man--I'd like to jump in on your offer, as my wife and I just went and priced a loaded LE (no NAV) today. We did not try to negotiate the selling price to get a better lease price. The lease that was offered was 39 mos, 15000 miles/year at $495. Seemed a bit high given the sticker price, which I believe was about 37000.
 
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?

2006 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4WD Lease Offer by nuch333
Jul 10, 2006 (1:05 pm)

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.

Hi JB. There's no need to be intimidated by leasing, if you understand how it works and shop around you'll get a great deal. The most important number to focus on when leasing a vehicle is its selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Once you have negotiated an attractive price on the truck that you want, have the dealer that you are working with calculate its monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor for a 39 month lease of an '06 Pathfinder is .00050. That's basically all the steps that you need to take to make sure that you get a good deal because vehicles' selling prices and money factors are the two main profit centers for dealers on leases. For additional information on this subject, make sure to check out the following helpful articles that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Hi Bill. You're right, $2,000 under dealer invoice, $1,500 under once the $500 customer cash is backed out, is a very aggressive price for this truck. I'm personally surprised that dealers are willing to sell one for that much below invoice. I would have thought that right around dealer invoice was a good deal. As you sure that you are discussing a brand new Pathfinder that really does not have any miles on it with the dealer and not a demo model that is still technically a new vehicle but has hundreds or thousands of miles on the odometer?
 
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.

Hey btsapalas. A while ago many banks, including NMAC, stopped leasing vehicles to residents of New York because of the vicarious liability laws that existed there. Basically these laws made it possible for people who are in involved in an accident with someone who is in a leased vehicle to sue the bank that they are leasing it through as well as the vehicle's actual driver. Fortunately, this silly law was recently changed and most banks have resumed leasing vehicles to New York residents.

Hi George. Nissan extended its special lease program for the 2006 Pathfinder, so don't worry if you missed the 7/5 deadline. The best way to make sure that you are getting a good deal on this truck is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer that you are working with calculate its lease payment using its buy rate lease money factor. You should be able to negotiate a lower selling price than the one that the advertised lease you saw is based upon. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor for a 39 month lease of this truck is .00050.
