2023 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum. $11,430 One Pay. $53,530 MSRP

Exactly the problem the telluride and palisade are getting crazy for leases like the same just got a quote for 636 a month with 4000 down. For the pathfinder platinum.

The tellurides lease like shit. I considered a purchase and in the long run, probably would be the best financial play but we needed a short term lease with 3 rows at a decent payment and the pathfinder checks those boxes. Will be considering a telluride once this lease is up.

You finance them, you don’t lease them.

I owned one for a year and it cost me $0. I could have kept it for another 2 years and it would have cost me $10k max. Why tf would I spend $25,000 to have a Pathfinder for 3 years?

Yes.

But what difference does it make if you get ~$19 off every payment, vs., say, ~$350 off each of your first two?

Or if they left your payment the same but they mailed you an extra rebate check for $700 at the end, or gave you a $700 Visa debit card at signing?

It’s $700.

I’m in the same situation sort of. I have a pathfinder with the 3rd row (captains chairs) and I needed that 3rd row. Still debating what to do about the next car whcjh I need in April next year. Trying to convince mini van but need Alts. I’ve also been looking at the Jeeps and possibly outlander

Lease programs change month to month so there’s really no point discussing what could be a good deal next April.

Rent charge on a lease has a specific definition. It’s on the average financed amount which is (net cap cost + RV)/2

Rent charge on a one-pay lease is typically lower than the exact same vehicle with a traditional lease. Usually because

  1. The MF is lower than the traditional lease.

  2. Acq, doc, reg, taxes, etc are being paid upfront and not capitalized.
