My lease was $130/month for 24 months. It will end on 12/31/2022.
I’m trying to figure out what would be the best move since it is approaching the end.
I don’t think I can find anything similar to this, so I’m thinking about buying it out, but the range is too short and I don’t want to buy Tesla.
Considering Hybrid as well for the next car, is there any hybrid SUV that could lease very well? or is it better to finance instead of leasing since the market is still bad…?
If you’re going to buy the lease out (with the intention of keeping the car), I would recommend doing that now. Extending the lease is not going to benefit you in the long run.
If he intends to buy the car, which OP implied he wants something more range (the hybrid statement)
It’s $130 an extension will buy enough time for the prices on new cars to drop more and save him money because there is no way OP is getting a payment less than $400 right now.
Just need to remember or check if an extended lease payment would keep reducing residual or not.
On my Infinity - they did extend by 3 months, but none of that was applied to reduce residual.
Since it’s the same Nissan Finance - may keep that in mind.
As far as I remember - Nissan tries to force you to sell/buy via their dealership network unless you can find a group that has Nissan in their stable.
But why Tesla? This is not a generic question - I’ve got two 2022 Leafs in Match this year and so far enjoying them, especially at the price paid for the lease. So why go Tesla after the lease end? Is that the cheapest option for EV these days or is there something else at play?
My deal is from March 2022, the last month of $130 Leafs. I posted about it in shared deals sections at the time but it doesn’t matter now. It’s from times long gone on Leafs:)
Doubtful. They’re more than likely going to keep LEAF production low. Plus Ariya is so delayed it’s going to have a year or two to go through its waitlist.
Let’s also not forgot the Ariya starts about 50% higher.
In same boat, dealership offered me $5k net to give the car to them. Ended up paying off and sold to carvana, time to get title was 6 weeks so consider what happens if used car prices continue to fall for the next month. Nissan also plays games with fees to buy out lease, very shady people.
