3000 down, 380 a month on a base model + rear spoiler, mats, and mud flaps or w/e they are called.... that was with perfect credit, than they ran mine and it went up to 440 ... but whatever i was still happy with that price. 16,600 buyout at lease end which was suprisingly decent imo... id say in 3 years with 49k my car should still be worth about that or a little more.

thats with 39months/15k miles on a car stickered for 32k but they gave it at 300 over invoice...

Nissan Dealership in Smithtown, NY... Great People in there...

Looking to buy from this dealer too (uncertain due to the recent scandal - did you hear? If not see my posts on it in general discussions / Google it)

Anyway, whats the money factor they are using? I spoke to them last week, he is willing to go $500 below invoice, I think I can do better at this time of the year, but my question is, don't they play around with the money factor and residuals even though you have negotiated the base price?

Its easy to know the best price while buying when we know published invoice prices. How do I do the same for leasing? Turns out I must lease due to my immigration issues.

The "scandal" you refer to was a media-hyped piece of BS. Apparently, a few people walked out of a dealership after negotiating a deal and didn't take their paperwork with them

. Then they complained that the monthly costs were "not what they expected".

I spoke with them a few times last month when I was buying. They gave me a great deal over the phone on a Chicane Yellow Touring/Sport ($35,250). Very pleasant and easy to deal with.

They also a large-volume dealer and have quite a few '09s still in-stock.

Yes I agree buddy - thats the point I've been emphasizing on my thread here:
NY Smithtown Nissan dealership lawsuit over altered prices!!!

But no one really got back strongly agreeing. I've made around 3-4 trips to the dealership myself, they have 24 Z's left.
