Replying to: eric106 (Sep 23, 2008 3:42 pm) What is the sticker price of the Maxima you are leasing? How many monthly payments of 563.00 (that seems way high). What is the 2,000 down for (You need to know where your money is going because they will pocket it in fees and you will just lose your hard earned money). Ask for the residual for your Maxima and work your deal backwards from there. If you want a simple way to calculate, take the sticker price multiply it by .0125 and by .015, your monthly payment should fall within that range with only 1st month and tags out the door.

Replying to: eric106 (Sep 23, 2008 3:32 pm) There is an emotional aspect to owning the car. If you are dealing with GOTTA HAVE MAX and get rid of Pathfinder..then I would do the following: Negotiate better price on Max Try to negotiate 3900 for lease termination if everything fails and the numbers are written in stone and YOU GOTTA HAVE MAX then terminating pathfinder lease and getting a max seems like a simpler and cleaner option. I generally dont lease cars...but if I was bitten and HAVE to lease I would only lease it in multiple of 12 months (So I dont pay taxes/use fee for 48 months & use the car for 39 months) and NOT more then 36 month (at which the warrenty expires..you spend $500 to reset the chk engine light in 39th month just before returning the car) |

I’ve had my 2009 Maxima for over 1 month now and nearly 800 miles. I’m very happy with my car purchase!! It's 60% luxury and 40% sport which is just the right amount of luxury/sport for me. Those wanting more sport, go with the new G37 or 328i. Those wanting more luxury, go with the GS 350 or M35. Of course, these cars are a bit more money and may not be considered direct competitors to the Maxima. But, for me, they were. Strengths - The ride and drive is a perfect blend of luxury and performance. 0 to 60mph in 6.3 secs, yet a nice comfortable ride on the highway. - Very little road noise at highway speeds. Check out the sound insulation in the wheel wells! - Highly recommend the Premium Package (dual moon roofs, air conditioned seat, rearview camera, rear seat ac/radio controls, power sunscreen). This option package sets it apart from its competitors such as Accord, TL and G35. - Air conditioning is extremely strong – this has always been a strong suit of Nissan’s. Lexus/Acura “low flow” air conditioning are a step back in my opinion - iPod integration is the “best in the business” according to most car reviews. - HID lights offer perfect light projection on the horizontal and vertical . - Maxima does an excellent job on the “little touches”: - Door lights are curved 90 degrees at the bottom doubling as puddle lamps. - Sun visor extensions are provided. - Video cable outputs allow you to watch movies on the NAV screen. - Extremely large glove box. - Extra large cup/map holders on the front side doors. - 2009 Quick Reference Guide is great! 30 page manual - short and sweet. Weaknesses - Bose Radio has two subwoofers in the rear which gives an extremely strong base sound – especially for those who sit in the back seats! I’m surprised there is not complaints about this. - Braking power is not as strong as the competitors. - While the trunk is fairly large (14.2 cu ft.), the trunk opening is small! - Navigation software is nearly a year old (software version says 07-08 model yr) - Zig-zag oil dipstick from the Gen 4 Maxima is still there! - Tire Pressure Monitors should show air pressure for each tire – like on the Infiniti Gas Mileage - I’ve been getting 21 mpg mostly city and 28 mpg pure highway. Overall, I’d say the gas mileage is very close to the EPA ratings. Defects - None so far. |
