MSRP 29,155 24 months money factor was like 0.004... (seems high?) Payment was $490.81 for 24 months 2009 Rogue SL AWD Purchased in Illinois.

You are not "LOCKED IN" for 5 years just because that's the loan term, it isn't a lease. 3. When you're sick of the car you get rid of it. After 2 years payoff would be $16K. Are you telling me a Nissan is going to depreciate $13,000 in 2 years time? Residual is over 70% on a 2 year lease for a reason. Because it's worth 70 some percent after 2 years. $490 a month on this $29,000 lease is just unimaginable to me. Should've bought it. People lease to LOWER their monthly payments, usually by a significant amount. I would use the general rule if you can't save $100 over a regular bank loan, BUY IT. PS: My mistake. $27K at 60 months 3.9% would be $496. So for a grand total of $144 more you could've owned it. The residual value on a 24 month lease is over 70% so after 2 of your 5 year bank loan you would've owed $16,000 and it would've allegedly been worth $20,000.

Replying to: indianajohns (Oct 23, 2008 8:04 pm) Also.. Just because Nissan is willing to write a lease at 70% residual, doesn't mean the vehicle will be worth 70% in two years.. Either that is their guess... or, they are willing to use that residual to subsidize the lease. Plus.. most people trade their cars in.. Could a $29K Rogue have a trade-in value of less than $17K in two years? I would bet on it... Do I think the Rogue is a good lease value? Not at all. Do I think it would be cheaper to buy it, then trade it in after 24 months? Nope.. If they know they only want it for two years, they probably made the right choice. regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 24, 2008 3:21 am) I do enjoy reading these posts and thank you for your input. I am not trying to sell anyone on the idea that leasing or buying is the right thing For us, we think leasing works. and the #'s dont seem to sway me back to buying (at least not yet they dont). |

Here's the deal I have on the table- do I go for it? I'm in Atlanta, GA, I know my credit is solid, and I trust this dealership (got my last car there): '09 SL FWD Leather Gotham Black ext/grey leather interior Premium package, rear spoiler, roof rack, etc. No moonroof 3 options for a 39 month, 12K/yr deal: $0 down (absolutely nothing) = $399/mo (including taxes) $1,000 down = $369/mo (incl taxes) $2,000 down = $339/mo (inc taxes) On all of the options above, they'll cut me a check for $612 to cover my last 2 lease payments on '06 Altima. I believe manager stated he's giving car to me for $27,395. Help, please!

I would save the $2000 and invest it.
