Default Unofficial but likely leasing rates and info

Hi all,
Just got a call from a friend with some numbers for leasing a Z. These are NOT confirmed.

For leases up to 36 months a money factor of 0.0027 or 6.5%.
For leases from 39 to 60 months a money factor of 0.0028 or 6.75%.

The residuals (expressed as a percentage of MSRP) are:
Months: Residual
24 62
36 54
39 53
42 51
48 47

Plan to do some math now. Will post later.
Also, he was not certain if different models would have differing residuals, but did not "think" so.

I was kinda hoping for a better residual curve like:

Month Residual

24 64
30 61
36 59
39 57
42 55
48 53


I suspect that ALG is not going to take a beating like they have in the past for over inflating residuals.

Check out www.paymentshaver.com, it gives a very good feel for common residuals of lots of cars. I am not surprised if the numbers I listed are correct (with 12K miles per year) ...I mean a Corvette at 12K/yr has 52% at 3 yrs and 47% at 4 yrs. (A 2003 Corolla is 46% for 3 yrs and 41% for 4 yrs.)

Hey, thanks for the info on the lease rates.

Anyone know how or if residuals would differ between US and Canada? My dealer has confirmed a 48 month residual of 53% on the Z (as of August 1st).

I have been using 9% in my calculations as a 'worst case scenario'. Definitely a big difference in final numbers when I plug your rates into my equation.

Have you heard anything for the 60 month lease? (I know Nissan has one, I just don't know the numbers)

I have leased 2 cars (trucks)

I think i will buy the next....... payments are like $100.00 month more.

keep the thing for 5 years and make payments and you will have about $10,000.00 in your pocket at the end of buying your ride.

Default lease residual

Nissan has provided ALG with a Z to drive this week. They have not finalized their residual factor yet. There is still hope for a better number than posted above.
