Does it pay to buy after lease?
« on: December 05, 2013, 03:59:08 PM »
I am ending a 2 yr lease on a Altima. The residual is 15,516.60.

Is it worth purchasing?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Will depend on mileage, condition, if you treated it well etc.

Ouch.  I paid 4K more than that to own the leather version outright from the start.
