Nissan is actually giving out a lot of incentives on their cars right now. So head over to Edmunds to see which ones are out there and see if you qualify for them. BRichards got a sweet deal on a Maxima last week (see here). I don’t have numbers for the SV or the 39-month terms, but I am willing to bet they are decent and the discounts are substantial.

The Altima S looks like a bargain right now, with such as high residual and low money factor. The discounts right now are sizable too, so right now it’s really a good time to lease the Altima S.

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA SEDAN S CVT
