Guy I need your opinion on a 370z lease!!!

shesha

When I got my base model Z I put 1250 down and I pay $518 per month the sticker price was $30k. Nissan just offered me a sport package Z Sticker price $37k for 1000 down 460 per month. They'll take my car 4 months early.

I had my heart set on an FRS I even have a deposit down. I wanted lower my monthly payments. Wtf do I do?

Please help me.

Nissan has 0% intrest incentive now. Why would you want to lease?

There's 0% going on right now, say you bought it for $37K OTD and put $1,000 down your payment would be $600 per month. I'd try to get under $400 for sure on a lease. The FRS might not lease well since there it's a new model and things like residual value are unknown. They may give it a strong value, but I think you're going to be surprised one way or the other. In the end it all comes down to what you want, price is price, if you don't love it then it doesn't matter. If you put a deposit on the FRS it sounds like you want a change.

I do want a change, but I loved my Z I enjoyed driving it so much for the last 3 years. I was surprised they negotiated down to what I could afford. As much as I want the FRS, a sport package Z at 460 per month has me enticed.

I just wanted to know what you guys thought. Buying for me is not an option right now. Should I just go pick the car up tomorrow. Or be patient and get the FRS for what would be a cheaper monthly payment.

I'm so uncertain of what to do.

Nissan will take my car 4 months early I avoid the registration fee. I get a new 2012 sport package Z. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk

How much less would the FRS payment be? Remember with a purchase at 0% every payment you make reduces your payoff by that much, you won't be locked in a lease and you should have equity fairly fast. If you want a new car in 3 years you'll probably walk away with a fair bit of equity versus none with a lease. I'm all for leases except when there's this kind of deal going on.

I would imagine the FRS payment would be $380 per month.

I think you know what to do

Personally I hate leases, you spend thousands ((36-4)*518+1250=$17,826 for you so far) of dollars and don't own anything. The only advantage of a lease its less hassle to get a new car every few years.

IMO I would go with 0% financing or buy out your current lease.

i agree, 0% is the way to go.

Ask them to take your car 4 months early and get the hell out of your lease. The stealership wants it now to resale. Spring is here and you have a low mile car to put on the lot.

Buy one at zero percent and get the heck out of the lease. Leasing was good when the used car market was soft. Back then a dealership didn't want the car back and you could get a good buy out price. Now they know the used market is good so they want the cars NOW.
