Infiniti lease buy out in NJ-pay IFS directly to avoid fees at dealership

Nissan dealer ask $1495 for lease buyout processing fee

I just checked my NMAC portal and for my '19 Murano SV, there’s 3 options for me to buy-out my lease, all which include NJ taxes.

I reported the same thing 5-6mos ago about Nissan / Infiniti in NJ, and share a screenshot from the portal.
