Zombie thread...
As mentioned above, my residual payment is $21,000. Market resale on that car, which now has 16,000 miles, is about $26,000. I could buy it, re-sell it and make up the $5000 noted above.
As it is, I'm re-leasing. I'm 6 payments from being done, but Nissan has a lease pull-ahead program where they waive the last three lease payments, provide a $500 cash bonus, waive $500 wear and tear. My dealer wants my Z, however. He plans to buy it for the residual, make three additional payments, then re-sell it as we move into Z season.
I elected to go with Pearl White this time. 6MT Touring with Sport and Nav. Looks like a nice car. Big fly in the ointment is the 6-inch blizzard we had two days ago here in Minnesota. Roads are snow-packed and icy. Looks like it's going to be tough sledding to the dealer and back on Wednesday.
