My lease is coming to an end and I'm contemplating keeping the car. However, my residual value on my lease is a bit high...

I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck in negotiating their residual value with Infiniti?

Thanks...

 

I have never had any luck with that, thats why i always buy my cars now....

 

I recently bought my G from somebody who paid off the residual value of their lease. From what I understand, the residual value on the lease is specified by the corporate part of Nissan/Infiniti. So the dealership doesn't have a lot of say in negotiating that residual value up or down. I'm getting this info second-hand though, maybe someone on here works for a dealership and knows better...

 

negotiating the residual is not possible.

It is set by the bank, not the dealership.

 

very true, ive heard of people trying to negotiate residual value before leasing.... but dunno how true it is

 

So to avoid all this residual negotiations with Nissan/Infiniti, is it better to finance the car through say a credit union before the lease is up or it does not matter?

 

it doesn't amtter.

your payoff is residual + remaining payments.

There is also a lease buyout fee.

 

i am doing the same thing, do you think a rate od 3.99 is good ?
