I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place!
I work for Nissan North America and bought a set of Maya STMs for my G a couple weeks ago. Now i'm debating on putting them on for fear of getting caught by two employees at work. In California it was fine cuz the chances of corporate vehicles catching you was slim to none. Now that i work in the regional office, it's hard not to be seen once in a while by the people who handle the corporate lease cars. If i get caught, they may give me a warning the first time, but they may not....which means i will have my lease priveleges suspended for a year. I know the smart thing would be to sell the wheels, but being the car enthusiast that i am, i never think the logical way,
If i park on the top level of the garage, that is my best chance of not getting caught. But it doesn't guarantee i won't. decisions, decisions....
Help a persian out!!!!

Persians are Iranians....same thing. Is that ok with you?? If not, I'd appreciate you keep those type of comments to yourself. Completely irrelevant to this thread...

And tell them your intention is to purchase at the end of the lease anyway. The lease was just the affordable route for you. They're not going to terminate the lease so easily. And if they do eliminate a lease from your options for a year or so, it's not that bad. You'd be better off buying and selling in 3 years anyway.

how old are you? have you been through school? yea he's asking you to help his rug out. you're just making yourself look like a retard.
you're a complete moron. Iran has nothing to do with "your" gas prices. You can blame Bush and Cheney for that, that comment had nothing to do with what he was saying. ****ing dumbass

I don't think this is about a standard lease. Of course, what all you guys are stating about returning the car in stock form, etc... are true. But he works for corporate and he is probably getting this lease as part of a benefit for working at Nissan. There probably is a reason they state in the "company" lease contract the specifics.
1 - Parking at the top, just make you have to drive further up and down the lot, which means you make yourself more visible getting to and from the parking spot.
2 - Do the personnel at the leasing division know you and your car? Do they know that you leased it through the company, or maybe you can pull it off like you purchased?
3 - How badly do you want the Maya's on your car? I say, slap them on, and see what happens. What **** retentive ***** is going to sit there and repremand you for putting on aftermarket rims? I would doubt they are sitting there looking for a reason to power trip.
4 - If they do, then will they terminate your lease immediately? I doubt it. How long do you have left in your lease? Don't they have an incentive program for employee's to purchase as well? Maybe you should consider purchasing a new one rather than leasing and worrying about mods if that is the way you really want to go, being a car enthusiast as you state.

You are right in that the lease for corporate employees is very much different than your typical lease. To answer your questions, one of the administrative people know my car. So i can't pull it off as a purchase. Nobody will stand around looking for a reason to dock me, but if i happen to be leaving work one day and one of the admin people walks right in front of me as i'm leaving, then they may say something. The fourth floor is the most convenient place to park because you enter the garage from the top floor going down. I just got my car this week and it's a 2 yr. lease. And lastly, i would have purchased one over leasing, but the leasing option is sooooo good, that any employee in their right mind wouldn't be able to turn it down!!
