Thoughts on leasing??

czirrfb

But with leasing can you modify the car? Lower it, add performance parts, new wheels, tint etc.?

Because if I was to get a sports car of any kind (like the 370) I would want to modify it.

YES! A lease is your car! You own it! Do what you want. If you go to buy it off nissan then just buy it cash or a bank loan (and you can do either at any time you'd like, you don't have to wait till lease end, just call them and ask for the buy out price). If you want to turn it in, turn it back to stock since you'll loose your money you have into it otherwise.

Actually... while I'm not a lawyer or legal expert, I think you need to READ YOUR LEASING CONTRACT.

Some leases are specifically worded to NOT allow modding that voids the warranty and/or must be returned in the same general condition it was bought, minus acceptable wear and tear. None of this would be a problem if you ultimately decide to buy the car in the end... but if you intend to return it, there might be problems if you "riced the hell" out the vehicle and brought it to the dealer that way.

Modded cars are harder for a lot of dealers to resell than a plain stock.

If the dealer can't tell you modded the car (or doesn't care), then none of this matters...

Correct.

Turn it back to stock like i said as that's turning it in with the same general condition it was bought. Same can also be said for buying a car. You think flàshing the ECU on buying a car cash, lease or buy will get you a new motor if it goes POP? Moddings modding, you gotta pay to play and you take risks with it.

Also you don't have to turn it in to nissan. If it's modded to hell you don't have to go back to nissan. Again it's your car. Go trade it in on a Prius and maybe the toyota dealer will love all the mods and pay you for them.
