#7 of 103 Leased A 350z by 10til4z Oct 17, 2005 (4:10 pm)
I've made the biggest mistake by not educating myself on leasing a vehicle. I've recently leased a 350z, and it's a great car, but just last week I found out I was getting sent to Japan for 3 years. Thus, not being able to drive my car for the next 3 years. I was considering leaving it in storage here for the whole time I was stationed there and enjoy the benefits of having a low mileage Z for the rest of the time. I was set on buying it after my lease was up. Residual being $11k. Did I get a really bad deal? $434/mo for 66 mos. What other options could I expect? have someone else take over payments, military clause, etc... Thanks Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Oct 18, 2005 5:04 am)

Replying to: 10til4z (Oct 17, 2005 4:10 pm) Since your question is more general and doesn't necessarily relate to the 350Z specifically, you might try visiting this topic: Lease Termination Fees and other costs   That's a good place to talk about your options for doing a lease swap.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions
#9 of 103 2006 350Z Roadster by casey350 Nov 13, 2005 (1:41 pm)
Hi, I was recently quoted for a 2006 350z roadster that has MSRP of $35,355 that I could get for $36,750. I am thinking of leasing, I never have, and want a 36 mnth term with 15k per year. The residual they gave was 55% and the money factor was 0.00295. I want to make sure these numbers are correct. Anything else I need to look at on the lease? What should I put down? I was thinking title/tags, security deposit, 1st mnth pmt, and taxes? Is that what I should be putting down?   The example they gave me was a flat $5,000 down with monthly pmts of $554 with tax. I don't think I want to put that much down, put want to just make sure the numbers are right. Thanks for the help! Replies to this message: Car_man (Nov 14, 2005 3:45 am)

Replying to: casey350 (Nov 13, 2005 1:41 pm) Hi casey350. In your post you states that you can get a Nissan 350Z that has a full MSRP of $35,355 for $36,750. This means that you are paying more than full price for this car. This is not a car that demands such a premium, unless you are in an isolated part of the country like Hawaii or Alaska. You may want to consider shopping around a little bit or at least doing some more negotiation with the dealer that quoted you this price.   The lease money factor that you were quoted for this car is a little high as well. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s current buy rate lease money factor for a 2006 350Z is .00265 for consumers who pay a security deposit and qualify for its top credit tier.   I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen during your lease, your insurance company pays off the bank that you were leasing it through and your down payment essentially disappears. The second main reason is that down payments on leased vehicles do nothing to reduce their lease-end purchase prices. So your lease-end purchase option price for your 350Z would be exactly the same, regardless of whether you had put say $5,000 down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all.   The bottom line here is that you need to see if you can negotiate a better deal on this car.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: casey350 (Nov 13, 2005 2:02 pm) Ahhh, that makes more sense. I should have scrolled ahead to see if you had written anything else about this deal. Ignore what I said about this car's selling price in my previous post. You are actually being given a discount of around $1,600 on this car. This is a much more reasonable deal. You may want to stop by the following discussion to compare the price that you were quoted to the prices that other community members have paid for similar vehicles recently: "Nissan 350Z: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".   All of the statements that I made about the money factor and not making a down payment are still valid.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#13 of 103 Downsides to lease? by passanis Jan 04, 2006 (6:02 pm)
I was recently looking to purchase a 90s Z to replace my 84 Z. I've always shopped for used cars and have never considered a lease until just recently. I've decided that a 90s Z, while affordable up front, may cost quite a bit to keep up so that's why I'm now looking at the new model.   I've just started doing some research and it seems like I can get a 350Z Touring Roadster on a lease for less than $400. I think this would be a 5 year lease. I'm just out of grad school so I have loans to pay off and don't make enough to afford a car payment over $500 (and that's really pushing it). I just don't see how I can go wrong with lease payments less than $400/ month. My other option is to purchase a 2003 base model for something like $22K. I figure the payments would be higher than the lease. I do realize that after 5 years under a lease I won't have a car, but by then I should be making considerably more money and I can either finance the residual or trade it in for another model on lease.   Thanks in advance for any advice.
