Replying to: jlawrence01 (Mar 06, 2007 11:12 am) GLS A/T or Lease a 2007 Hyundai Sonata GLS A/T for $199/month* for 30 months, $800 customer cash down plus $2,300 HMFC origination support, and $999 due at signing. See your local dealer for lease details. *The base monthly payment does not include tax, license, registration, options, and the like. This program is effective from March 06, 2007 through April 02, 2007 |

| Note that I said "less than $199". I can get half a dozen cars for $199-$209 a month. I was just curious if anytihng siginificantly less expensive was available. | |

Thought I'd bring some life back to this thread...! What does everyone see as some of the best lease deals currently out there? I'm specifically looking for a Crossover/Midsize SUV, but I'm not particular about the actual brand. The two best deals I've found (for a 24 month / 12k lease / 0-down) are: 1. 07 Infiniti FX35 ($500-$530/month), $40k-$43k MSRP 2. 07 BMW X3 ($510/month), $42k MSRP Surprisingly, these handily beat a number of other lower MSRP car options. 1. Trailblazer (~$560/month), $32k MSRP 2. Nissan Murano (~$570/month), $38k MSRP Any other suggestions of SUVs or 4WD sedans that have a better $month/MSRP ratio than the BMW and Infiniti?

I'm in process of buying 2007 Sentra SL $17,200 after 1K in rebates. My dilemma is that their finance guy tells me that one of the rebates is tied to financing thru Nissan.No problem great rates and I have great credit. He then states that in order to get the rebate I have to purchase a $599. Gap policy. I told him that the rebate doesn't say that and he says he will check with his district manager. The car is due in Monday. I like the idea of Gap insurance,I like the rebate but not the price of it. Does anyone know whether this rebate is really tied to obtaing a Gap policy? Nissan Corp keeps referring back to the Dealership for that answer.

Replying to: janda1 (Jul 14, 2007 7:46 am) Is the Nissan financing rate really all that good? Tying the rebate to it suggests it may be a relatively high rate. You might do better overall by arranging financing elsewhere. |

Replying to: cccompson (Jul 14, 2007 4:19 pm) We stopped by a number of dealerships today and asked them if they could come close to the MSRP/$month ratio that Infiniti and BMW are offering ($42,000/$500) = 84... They all gave a resounding NO! I was amazed that most couldn't even get close. Here are some examples: Honda Pilot LX 4WD: $610/month Honda Pilot EX 4WD: $670/month Kia Sorento: NO 24month lease option Audi / VW Dealership: Said they couldn't get close! Jeep Dealership: The Same. Mazda Dealership: The Same. Subaru Dealership: The Same. Chevrolet Dealership: The Same. The only one that got moderately close was the: Chrysler Pacifica AWD: $492/month ($36k vehicle) And that's still as not as good! Any other suggestions out there? I'll have to check out the Volvo further...

Replying to: janda1 (Jul 14, 2007 7:46 am) Personally, I would pass on the $599 Gap insurance from your dealer. If you feel you need it, check with your insurance agent. Some insurance companies sell gap insurance. The nice thing is it's cheaper and you can cancel it once you are no longer upside down on the loan. What are the terms of the loan and how much are you putting down? |

Replying to: aepheme (Jul 14, 2007 6:58 pm) You know that just means the MSRP is highly inflated or the residual is highly inflated. A 40,000 dollar car using realistic residuals and money factors should lease for 700 something a month with no money down.
