Leasing vs. Buying in Bergen County
Driving along the Route 17 corridor and commuting through Northern New Jersey demands a vehicle that is reliable, efficient, and equipped with modern driver-assist technology. Leasing offers a distinct advantage here: the ability to cycle into a brand-new model every 24 to 36 months.
When you lease, you are essentially paying for the depreciation of the vehicle over the term you drive it, rather than the entire cost of the car. This structure typically results in:
- Lower Monthly Payments: Your budget stretches further, allowing you to drive a higher trim level like a Pathfinder Platinum or Rogue SL for less than it would cost to buy.
- Warranty Coverage: Most lease terms fall within the factory bumper-to-bumper warranty period, minimizing your risk of paying for unexpected repairs.
- Tax Advantages: In New Jersey, you generally pay sales tax on the total of your monthly payments rather than the full purchase price of the vehicle.
Customizing Your Nissan Lease Agreement
We don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" contracts. Our finance team works with the Nissan Motor Acceptance Company (NMAC) to tailor parameters to your specific driving habits.
Mileage Options
One of the biggest concerns drivers have is mileage limits. Whether you are a low-mileage commuter navigating local Hasbrouck Heights streets or a high-mileage driver traversing the Garden State Parkway, we can structure leases offering 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles per year. We can even negotiate high-mileage leases upfront to avoid potential overage fees later.
Understanding Residuals and Money Factors
Two numbers dictate your payment: the residual value (what the car is worth at the end) and the money factor (the interest rate). Models with high resale demand, such as the Nissan Frontier or the Nissan Altima, often have strong residual values. A higher residual value keeps your monthly payments lower because the depreciation gap is smaller.
Explore the Lineup
Our lot features the full breadth of the Nissan lineup available for leasing:
- The Daily Commuters: The Sentra and Versa offer incredible fuel economy and compact maneuverability for city parking.
- The SUV Leaders: The Rogue and Murano provide the cargo space families need for weekend trips and grocery runs.
- The 3-Row Haulers: The Pathfinder and Armada bring towing capacity and seating for up to eight passengers.
- The Electric Future: The Nissan Ariya and LEAF allow you to bypass the gas pump entirely.
The Lease Return Process
As your lease approaches maturity, confusion often sets in regarding the next steps. We strive to make the transition seamless, regardless of where you originally leased your Nissan. You generally have three choices:
- Exchange: Turn in your current Nissan and lease or purchase a new one. This is often the easiest route and sometimes comes with loyalty incentives.
- Purchase: If you love your vehicle and the buyout price is favorable compared to current market values, you can finance the remaining balance.
- Return: Simply return the vehicle to us after a pre-return inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What credit score do I need to lease a Nissan?
While Nissan typically reserves its most aggressive lease specials (Tier 1 rates) for customers with credit scores of 700 or above, leasing is available to a wide range of credit profiles. If you have challenged credit, a lease may still be possible, though it may require a security deposit or a different money factor.
Does a lease require a down payment?
Not necessarily. While advertisements often show "amount due at signing" to achieve a specific low monthly payment, you can often roll those costs into the monthly payment for a "$0 down" lease structure, pending credit approval. This protects your cash flow upfront.
What happens if I exceed my mileage limit?
If you go over your agreed-upon mileage, you will be charged a fee per mile at the end of the lease (typically between $0.15 and $0.25 cents per mile). However, if you know you are going to go over mid-lease, contact us; sometimes we can help you trade out of the vehicle early to mitigate those costs.
Is maintenance included in my lease?
Regular maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations) is generally the financial responsibility of the lessee. However, some lease specials may include complimentary maintenance plans for the first year or two. Check with our team for current program details.
