Hi jmpuk. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2011 Quest SL with 15,000 miles per year are .00162 and 51%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
You can plug this information, along with this van's MSRP and its selling price into the formula that is outlined in the following article to calculate a payment: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

#56 of 68 Hi! Do you think this is this a good deal, and can I do better? by msdebola

Nov 14, 2011 (7:26 am)

Can you tell me if I have a decent deal on this 2012 Nissan Rogue SV with SL package? This is actually the first deal, and I am not trying to rush things, and I intend to give a counter offer:
 
MSRP: $30,750 Selling price: $28,200 Residual Value: $17,407 Money Factor: 0.00029 ZERO money down, (includes $1,356 current lease with VW balance), $830 destination fee, $350 DMV, up front taxes $1687 + $369 first month payment.
 
I prefer to NOT pay the taxes up front, so this will be in my counter. Any suggestions on how I should handle and do you think I have room to negotiate selling price any further? Any advise is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Car_Man,
 
Would you happen to have the 36 & 39 month rates for a 2012 Quest SL w/15k miles per year?
 
Thanks!

After comparing a few lease quotes, between the Quest LE, SL and Sienna LE, I decided to go with the Quest SL. Here are the data (all based on 12K miles/yr):
Quest LE quotes: MSRP - $44,130; Net Cap Cost - $39,800; Residual - $22,506 (51%); Money Factor - 0.00195; Term - 36 months. Monthly payment is $567.01 + tax; Down payment $3,000.
  
Quest SL quotes: MSRP - $35,720; Net Cap Cost - $32,048; Residual - $19,646 (55%); Money Factor - 0.00185; Term - 39 months. Monthly payment is $283.26 + tax; Down payment $3K.
 
Sienna LE with Leather Seats and Navigation: MSRP - $33,785; Net Cap Cost - $31,895; Residual - $16,632 (49%); Money Factor - 0.0004; Term - 36 months. Monthly payment is $404 + tax; Down payment $3K.
 
In truth, the Sienna LE was a 2012 model which has an awesome 0.0004 money factor. The only thing the Nissan dealer can do to match such a low monthly payment is to extend the terms from 36 months to 39 months, which really isn't apple to apple anymore. However, as you can see, the Sienna's discount (MSRP-Cap Cost = $1,890) on the vehicle wasn't as deep as the Quest SL (MSRP-Cap Cost = $3,672). To me, the Quest SL is a much better vehicle than the Sienna LE. So the deeper discount on the Quest SL out weighs the lower money factor on the Sienna LE in my opinion. Plus, as you can see, Sienna's residual value is not as high as the Quest. Therefore, it offset some of the benefit of the lower money factor.
 
I really like the Quest SL, because I have the power lift gate which the Sienna LE lacks. The leather upholstery and the interior design is so much better than the Sienna. I know the Quest SL doesn't have the navigation, but nowadays with the free nav on our smart phone, I really don't think it is reasonable to pay almost $8k more on the Quest LE over the SL just because of the nav. All the other nice features like the seat memory, blind spot monitoring..etc are nice, but I can live without. So at the end, the SL is a very sensible choice in my opinion, saving about $200/month in monthly payment comparing to the Quest LE.

#61 of 68 How to figure money factor conversion to % by bigcarpage

Replying to: deuzcent (Aug 04, 2012 5:12 pm)
Take the money factor and multiply by 2,400 and you get the interest rate equivalent.
 
Most leases are pegged to 15,000 miles per year, because that is the average people drive per year. THIS IS THE STANDARD! The reason you see ads for 12,000 or 10,000 miles if because there is a bump in the residual value and they can advertise a lower payment. You can get up to 25,000 miles per year in most leases.
 
If you are a high mile driver and change cars every 3 years, leasing is perfect. Instead of being upside down, you get a payment similar to the buy option (leases are normally lower because you are only paying for a portion of the vehicle) without being told you're upside down $5,000 because you have a 3 year old car with 75,000 miles.
 
The only people who buy those cars are people looking for a killer deal.

#62 of 68 2012 & 2013 Quest SV money factor & residuals by dacarmon

Feb 17, 2013 (10:31 pm)

Hi Car_man,
 
What is the lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Quest SV both with and without the leather package for a 15K mile per year lease in Florida.
 
Also there may be a few 2012s out there - any difference in numbers on 2012s?

Hi dacarmon. NMAC's February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Quest SV with 15,000 miles per year are .00093 and 53% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2013 model are .00155 and 52%.
 
There is a $1,450 cash incentive on leases of the 2012 model and $1,425 on the 2013 model.

Thank you Car_man! I really appreciate the info.
 
What are the numbers on the 2012 SL? On the incentives page, I noticed the 2012 SL has $1750 in dealer cash and that both the SV and SL have a $500 bonus offer.
 
There is also a $3000 customer offer though I'm assuming this only applies to purchases. On the SL can you confirm that the $500 and $1750 would apply to leases and whether or not the $3000 would apply to leases or only for purchases?
