I can almost guarentee that if you lease and buy out at the end you will pay a lot more than the differential between your tradin-in now vs a few months from now.

Look at the total numbers that you will be paying before you decide.

 

I thought about trading my X for the Z, but the trade is so low on the X that I would lose money. I doubt that the 2003 X coming out will cost you alot on you trade. Your X is only worth $13000 as a trade right now if it is in good shape, 4x4 and low miles. So keep your X and trade it when your Z comes or better yet sell it yourself.

 

Guys I need your help. My Z is estimated in November. I have a 2000 Nissan Xterra that I am trading in. The 2003 Xterra's are coming out in September. I will lose money if I trade it in after the 03's come out. I have a 1,000 deposit down that is non-refundable at my dealer. I have another Z same as mine, only a lease vehicle that I can buy. It will be here in or around Sept. 4.

Should I stay with mine and risk losing my down payment, trade in value. Trade it in now and lose my money on the sales tax? Or forget about my current order and do the lease vehicle and just purchase at the end of my lease.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I don't quite understand this sentence, and it seems the pivotal point. Could you clarify?

 

I have found another Z that is the same as the one that I have ordered, same color, interior, model, and tranny. It is quite a ways away from me. This vehicle was ordered by the dealer as a lease vehicle. I can lease it, with an option to buy at the end of my lease. I have to let the other dealership know something today.

 

Do you have a deposit down on the Xterra?
Also if you already have the 1000 deposit down on the 350Z for the later delivery, go for that, don't lose it, unless you have money to blow. Forget about the lease one, get the xterra, dont put much mileage on it, then do a private party sell, you'll get a few thousand more, then put all that money down on the 350Z, and you can lease it then, if thats what you want. Just because you put the order in to buy it doesn't mean it has to be bought, it can be leased. Unless you signed any contract saying your buying it..

 

My post might be confusing. Sorry. I have a 2000 Xterra and I am trading that in for the Z. When the new Xterra's come out, they give you less for an older model. Mine will be three years behind. I can lose anywhere from 2 to 3 thousand on this. If I go with the other Z, I can have it two months earlier and only lose 1 thousand.
