Cost to lease 370z?

Tenorino

The Nissan dealers around Los Angeles I've contacted regarding leasing the new Roadster continue to use caveman mentality.

I've been driving BMW Z4's for eight years or so and still considering leasing the new Z4. However, the 370Z Roadster is such a great car that I am looking into seeing what kind of lease Nissan might have. Most BMW dealers as usual, have no problem giving me lease details (residual, money factor, drive-off fees, etc) on their cars. For some reason, Nissan dealers assume each inquiry they receive is from some idiot who knows nothing and they push you into coming into the dealership to close you. They avoid answering real questions and refuse to give numbers behind their 'estimates' which is usually just a ridiculous monthly payment. Especially in this day and age when you can shop online and get all the info you need before buying.

I am leaning towards the Nissan more and more but if dealers' salesmen continue to act like their stereotype, I will simply go with BMW who at least is straightforward and no-nonsense with what they can offer, and turns out, might be the better deal after all.

You can, but you will not be able to residualize it.

This is laughable. As a comparison, 2008 Honda S2000 ($38K) lease payment is $378 a month...

This quote is from dealership in York, PA. April 22, 2011.

Hate to bump an old thread but damn these figures are ridiculous for leasing a Z.

I visited glendale and performance nissan. They gave me a quote of a bout $655/mo for a sport packaged z and $2k down. the leasing on the z is terrible, its better to go with the financing and that's what im planning on doing in the near future. Goodluck finding a good lease deal

finance, like evryone else said. Why not own it for less money than you would pay to lease?

I was quoted the exact same amount monthly if I leased or buy, dealer told me nissan doesn't really wanna lease them out.

Why would you lease it, your going to end up buying it anyways guaranteed.

You just don't lease a car that you will fall in love with. The Z is that car.

I've tried working out leases many times, and it turns out being too expensive on the Z. I have leased a Nissan Pathfinder before, and it saved me a couple hundred dollars a month in payment.

If you really must lease, the Infiniti G37 has great leases, and you can get a more expensive car for a lower payment. Just get a quote from a Nissan and an Infiniti dealership.

Leasing is a fools game, you are far better off to simply buy the car out right at the best deal you can get and then drive it for 3-4 years. Then sell it off yourself as the dealer would, dealers love leases due to the high dollar amount they charge.

What the dealer does is charge you a very high montly payment plus a non refundable down payment and then sells the car for top dollar as a 3 yr, low mileage lease.

The only way it makes sense to lease a vehicle is if you have your own bussiness and you can buy it for bussiness use a deduct the lease payment as a bussiness expense.

Now do the math on the lease listed below.
$42195 msrp = $4050.72 dealer mark up, you could buy this car for $39,000

Lease option = $26,286 payment x $674 times 39 months. Now add your required down payment and taxes. Also the additional charges the dealer always hits you up with to recondition the car for resale. Every little stain, paint chip, brake wear, tire wear etc.

For an additional $11,824 you could buy the car out right and save the additional $10,000 the dealer is making off you at the end of the lease plus the dealer mark up. you can see that the dealer is making at least $11,500 off you for leasing the car that is pure profit and if you decide not to buy the car at the end of the lease, the dealer will then sell to someone else for around $26k-$29k

I'm going to be getting a loan for a 370z in the next month. My dad wants to lease a sedan and it seems for those types of cars, there are some good options. I'm talking about a C-class Mercedes Benz or a Camry, or Accord. All of these cars can be had for $1500 down (I know it's a bad idea to do this) @ $290/mo for 32 months. Or zero down for $309/mo. The Benz is worth about $45k if i'm not mistaken.

There are a few good deals that the leasing is actually the exact same as buying. When you calculate those out to a 3 year lease and if its the exact same as buying/leasing then I rather lease, beat the car return it. This only works when the lease is a crazy deal.
