We really wanted to keep our MY2013SL but the current offerings are not acceptable. Our lease was up 9/6/16 so we were able to get a 6-month extension, with the hope that the discount would again go over $7k to bring the buy-out in line with value.
Now we need to go through the dealer which has a greater incentive to have us drive off the lot with a MY2016 and let Nissan take the loss on the lease return. On 9/6/16 they gave us a GREAT deal on a MY2016SL which looked exactly like our 2013 for $130 per month less. So much for waiting to see what the October discount was going to be. Now when I asked the dealer, they tell me I can only get $4,000 discount, $500 less than last month. Talking with Nissan finance this morning I was told that they expect the return negotiation to stay with the dealer for now on.
Has anyone else found a dealer that is offering anything reasonable for the buy-out discount? Like I said, $7,000 is the minimum we need, but would like to get at least $7,500 or more.
