So it’s come to this, fellow hackrs… You’re looking at a Nissan: Not just any Nissan, but a stripped down Frontier. Perhaps your local, friendly Nissan store doesn’t have the S 4WD Crew Cab that’s sporting a downright silly residual of 99%…Not to fret! You have options… Barring any market adjustments, rate markup or dealer adds, we have taken the liberty of perusing the programs on these trucks ( **Specifically 18 month programs using NMAC** ) and doing a ranking from 1-6 (2WD/4WD columns) based on Residual/Money Factor – _YMMV on what it’s worth to you individually_.

Thanks for working up the calculators.
