2006 model. I am wondering if this is a good deal. It seems like it--it's a nice car, drives well and hasn't had any problems. (Lease is 10 months old). Mileage is appx 12000 per year plus $0.10 per mile.
It's not my car--I use the Subway. But I'm curious. I wonder what the car will be worth in 42 months.

Value depends on how much mileage and wear and tear he puts in the vehicle. The value of a new vehicle drops 20% as soon as you drive it off the lot. That is why it's always a good idea to put a 20% downpayment for a new car. In my opinion $199 a month for a Sentra is not a good deal. He could have gotten it financed for 60 months and would have paid almost the same monthly with no mileage limits and he would own the vehicle at the end of the loan term. But this is just my opinion some people like leasing vehicles because they want a new one every three to four years. If I were to lease I would get a better car than a Sentra. I might as well enjoy a pimp ride if I am to get hosed in the end. I guess to each his own.

Lease only if you can use it as a tax write off. Stick to the subway public transportation. The 2007 sentra will be a better deal larger inside and CVT transmission 36 MPG. 2006 is the older body style 2000 to 2006. That sentra will not be worth much with 42,000 miles on it and bald tires and brakes worn down. Whenever possable Buy the car and not take a hit for excessive wear and tear at the end of the contract. Also have GAP insurance.

it doesnt matter what the car is worth in 42 months. its leased which means after 42 months they have to give it back. so NO its not a good deal. why pay that kind of money a month and have nothing to show for it 3 1/2 years later

The ONLY way you can get the $199 down is having a near perfect credit score, 750+ and previous lease background.

i own a shop and really that's not a good deal because he could of have bought a new one for about that and it would have been his at the end of it,leasing to me makes no sense at all,at the end of the lease if you want to buy the car you about pay full price for it,so its like renting a house,why do it,buy it and you own it,good luck with it hope this helps.

A 42 month lease???????....bad deal. He could have just bought it out right and paid it off in 48 months.

autotrader nissan sentra 2002(4 years old 48months) are cheapest 5,000 as much as 12,000
So you can guess around 7,000-8,000 but all has to do with how many miles he will put on the car.
