2022 Nissan Frontier

Anybody have any experience with leasing a new 2022 Nissan Frontier? I know they are new but just checking to see if they are leasing well (yes I know nothing leasing well in this market). Just went on the Nissan website and was quoted $328 for a ProX4 $44k msrp with $2000 down. I find that hard to believe.

I’m guessing that was actually $328* with $2k down.

Never underestimate the power of the asterisk to hide thousands of dollars.

*with eligible trade in, must be a 2018 or newer

Well, that too.

The standard asterisk these days is *taxes, fees, add ons, etc not included. Requires dealer contribution that no dealer is going to actually give you and has no obligation to do.

Like a sucker I inquired on a Rodo 24/12 lease for a Pro-4x msrp 45960, 341/month with 2338 down. Reached out to the dealer who said that doesn’t include tax, tag, dealer fees and wanted 4045 down to get to 341/month.

Yup like they said above you have to look for the *
Did you end up leasing the Frontier elsewhere?

Another bait and switch by Rodo? I’m shocked!

No, they appear to be flying off the lots as most of the dealers I reached out to have sold out.

Same here. Some are even paying up to $2500 above MSRP… Frigin insanity…

*must include trade-in of first born child, arm, and a leg, OAC

" * " includes “Dealer sets actual price”.

As in there will be markups.

Can I get thoughts on this deal:

Is that buy rate mf?

Looks good. I would do no down payment though. It will bump your monthly to $432.

Don’t put money down.

The problem is this truck just came out and no dealers are giving any discounts, plus current market conditions.

If you are comfortable paying msrp and $432 with no down payment, then go for it.

without knowing if that’s buy rate or not, there’s no way to say “this is a deal at msrp”. There could be significant mark ups buried in the mf there (or not).

That is buy rate.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to buy a Tacoma?

I get that the Frontier is “all new” but it doesn’t have any tangible advantages in towing, payload, MPG, technology, etc.

That’s a painful buy rate.

Theoretically with whats going on with used vehicles values and interest rates. Lease residuals should be high and MF should be low. But brands/lenders are playing games.
