Initial Offer on Maxima Midnight Edition. Can I get lower?

None of the offers are really that great.
It has cash down for each of them, making every one technically over $400 a month.
Nice discounts, but a sedan should be leasing out much better, or if nothing else, under 1% of MSRP.

Have them provide the MF and RV they are using.

They’re using 51% and .00003. It’s technically no cash down as the $1374 is the $799 doc fee and $575 acquisition fee. If that’s the case, shouldn’t the $799 doc fee that they’re adding to the cap cost be removed?

Yeah, if they are claiming the “cash down” is just the fees out of pocket, then they shouldnt be a line item.
(well, technically they have to be, but they need to write the deal clearer)
Typically first months is included in total out of pocket as well (while it could be rolled in, often thats just for sign & drives), so where is that?
Its confusing and not exactly clear how they wrote it.

So they are saying then the $2374 and $3374 options would be with an additional 1k or 2k used towards an actual down payment. So thats no bueno.

I asked what the total out of pocket amount would be when I pick up the car. They said just the $1374 so I’m guessing first month’s is rolled into the lease. In regards to the other dealer who asked for the VIN, does it hurt me in any way giving him that info?

No.
He may just want to make sure its optioned out the same way and both are midnight packages.

I played one VIN across a few dealers a few years back and that worked out in my favor.
Granted the car was at a port and not on a dealership lot, not sure if that mattered.

Got this offer today. Showed it to a couple other dealers and they wouldn’t even consider it. Just want to get that doc fee down. Will also pay that and the DMV fees up front to lower the monthly payment a little.

Did you accept? I’ve been looking for an SR for a while.

I have one local dealer who said he would beat it by $500 if it was true. Sent him the offer sheet and just waiting to hear back. If he can’t match or beat it I will be accepting the above offer today (hopefully with a reduced doc fee).

Doc fees never get reduced or withdrawn. Your only chance of lowering your overall cost is to reduce the selling price (assuming MF is buyrate already).

So did you do it? Thoughts so far?

Yup, signed for $365 absolutely nothing down except first month. Love the car so far. Very smooth ride and very very luxurious interior

Wow. Only $365 down? Seems like a great deal. And it’s a 2017 not a 2016 correct?

Yup, 2017 SR Midnight…And, I lied. I ended up putting $500 down including first month’s payment. So $135 down. It was supposed to be $365 only first month’s…I told them I’d sign today if they got the price down to $34,000 before rebates and fees. They agreed, had a local dealer match, these guys went a little lower so I agreed and drove the 90 min out there. They tried to say tax wasn’t included in the $365 deal so there was a little bit of back and forth. I ended up walking out, they came after me and we agreed on the $365 including tax if I put $500 including first month’s. Wasn’t going to fight them over that. It was super late and just wanted to get the deal done.

$500 down, 365 a month. That’s really good. Congrats

Hi,

Great deal - where are you located and are they still doing this deal right now?

Thanks.

Sorry just seeing this…This was around the Orlando area. Took some haggling to get them down to the $375 nothing down offer. Once I got that offer I was able to get another dealer to match and was able to get the first dealer down to $365. Then I had the whole fiasco I described above so it ended up being $365 w/ $500 down (including first month’s payment). Not sure if they are still doing it though.

This is the advertised Nissan deal in the NY area. With a bit larger dealer discount - this seems hackr worthy to me.

I got a quote on a Maxima for $399 36/15k sign and drive. It was a loaded platinum.

Do you have the offer sheet on it?

Interesting that your residual was at 51% - I am getting 47% here in Las Vegas and not much in the way of movement on agreed upon price. Anyone here have any success in Vegas/Arizona/California?
