Not a lot of changes here. Residuals dropped slightly and the MF stayed the same. There is some cash out there so the residual drop isn’t a big deal on my book. Nothing some cash and some negotiation can’t fix.

For those of you curious about the 2013 Pathfinder, I got the see the Platinum model at the LA Auto Show. It was nice. Very Infiniti-like inside. High quality leather, elegant cabin, decent room for seven. The next day, we went to the dealership to test drive a S AWD model…not as elegant…hard plastic all over. It drove well, according to the wife, but the S trim didn’t come equipped with much. No backup camera, no bluetooth and was being offered at about $29800. ($31k MSRP). As a lease with 1st month payment at signing, I estimated it to come in at about $406 a month plus tax. In contrast, the Honda Pilot we got came equipped with BT, backup cam, 2gb music storage, tow hitch and came in at $344 + tax. Not to beat a guy when he’s down, but really, no comparison here.
