I went through the typical dealer experience the day I leased my Sentra. Would have signed away my first born child to get out of there. Instead signed a lease for a $21,000 loaded Sentra SL that they somehow had capitalized at $23,000 (and I don't think this included any fees/tax/title). Long story short, I am paying $369/month for a 36 month/36,000 mile lease. I am a bit over on mileage but can probably keep it down for the remaining 18 months to come in about even. I think I am paying way too much and could probably have bought the thing for the same payment but that's water under the bridge. Here is my question: I acutally like the car and might want to buy it out at lease end. The problem is that the way they structured the lease the buyout is about $12,000. I think that is more than the car is going to be worth. Do I have any room to negotiate this price? I don't want to have to turn it in and then buy a similar car used, not knowing the history of it, when I could just buy this one. Also, I am not familiar with how this buy-out affects things like sales tax. I know if I buy a car for $12,000 cash with no trade-in here in NJ I will pay $840 sales tax. Was sales tax on the whole price of the car already paid when I leased it or just tax on the difference between capitilized cost and buyout price? I spoke to a salesman at another dealer and he indicated that if I want a new Nissan that I might be able to get out of the lease as soon as 6 months early without having to pay the remaining payments. That might be an option but I really don't want to get into another lease (ever again!) so then I am looking at payments on a new car instead of a used one. They will be pretty high since I will have no trade-in. Anybody out there with experience in this area? Thanks. |

So when you see these low prices on cars, that's after the cash back offer is applied. There is no cash back offer with the lease. Only a special money factor. " Is this not the case? According to your post it looks like those rebates would be in effect.
