Residuals have dropped and MFs have dropped along with them. This doesn’t apply to all models, but most. The 24-month leases on the Altima is still there. But the lease cash has changed. You will see a $1000 spring loyalty cash and a $1330 leasing bonus cash for new customers. The spring loyalty cash requires that your existing lease ends between now and the beginning of April.
How how does the Altima S look this month? Good, but not as good as last month. The good news is that the cash is not limited to returning customers. If you are a returning customer, you should check with your dealer if you can combine the two cash rebates (Edmunds.com doesn’t not state if they can be combined or not). Should they allow it, you would be looking at a lease just as good as last month’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.
