Question on current lease.
I currently have 12 months left on my TLS lease. I want to trade it in for another car besides an Acura. Should I wait until there is 1 or 2 months left on my lease before I even consider looking for another car. I am going to purchase the car this time instead of leasing. Leasing is definitely not for me.

I would wait till around october since you cant do anything till then anyways, by then the 06 cars and reviews will be out. If anything just pick a few 05s right now read the specs and reviews on them then when the 06's come out see what differences and improvements have been made

Wait til you have 1 month left, then have your car professionally completely detailed(ask for it to be buffed or detail shop probably wont). Then bring it in looking sharp so they cant try to nail you for damaged and wear penalties and shop around. Unless they give you a discount for buying a car there because you leased in the past. A lot of dealers only give you a discount if you lease another vehicle. So best bet is to shop a little and try and put two competing dealers head-to-head, thats how you get the best price.

Buy back before end of lease
Here it goes. Contact the leasing company and find out what's the buyback as of the day you called. If for example the purchase back is 25K and the car is only worth 22K, then a car dealer may pickup the lease payments but may have to tag along the extra (25 - 22 or less) to your new lease. You can also find a buyer for the car or someone who would assume your lease. With 12 months left, it is not cost effective to break the lease.

The value of the car must be better or equal to what they can get on a sale. Contact the leasing company and get the cost of buy back. This is what they are looking for when you talk to them.

I have a friend who works for nissan here in torrance and said that those damn cars have so many recalls and problems you wouldn't believe. But if it make you feel better about yourself buying that car then so be it. But in the long run your going to be paying for it. Just my
