Breaking My Lease for a 370z

iskandef · 12-20-2009, 12:13 AM

I have a 2007 Nissan Atlima 3.5 SE on a 5 year lease, and planning on terminating the lease for a 370z. This will be my third car (the 370z) from this dealership. Now the problem is, I got the Altima back in December of 2006 and my lease is not over till 2012! I'm also over on mileage but determined to get that Z.

Is there any way I can terminate my lease for the Z without any penalty?(considering this will be my third car from this particular dealership)

Probably not, short of not driving your Altima until the mileage is about right.

WTF, a 5 year lease? You could have owned the car outright over that period of time. I had a lease on my IS350 and used swapalease.com to get out of it. Worked pretty well, you may want to look into that.

yah, lease is best done zero down and 36months max... but oh well.

you will be 'penalized' for your overage, but the dealer can give you more for your altima or cut you a deal on the z. learn your lesson and buy the z next time.

It all comes down to what ur payoff is.. You
can break a lease anythime.. It's just gonna
cost u.. You will have to roll over your
negative into the z price..

I broke a lease on a 2008 Maxima to buy my 370Z. It was a real good deal though, so I don't regret it.

What kinda deal was it? Was there a fine?

But if you're over mileage. You better offer one hell of a rate or there will be no takers. It's not like it's a very desireable car to be taking over the lease and driving esp if the milegage is up there.

Residual value at the end of 39 months was 16000 dlls. Balance/buyout at time of trade in was 23600 dlls. Dealer gave me 21500 for trade in and knocked off 2000 off sticker price of 370Z. So I got my 370 for about sticker price, which is a hell of a deal considering that most other dealers would only offer me 16000 dlls for the trade in.
