For starters, there are two basic lease types: open-end and closed-end. With an open or closed-end lease, the residual value of the vehicle is established at the onset of your lease. And unlike an open-end lease, a closed-end lease residual value is guaranteed by NCF, and is the responsibility of, the leasing company upon its maturity. With an open-end lease, you (the lessee) assume responsibility for the vehicle’s residual value at the end of the lease. For your protection and peace of mind, all NCF leases are closed-end. We assume the risk. So if the market value is higher than the residual value we have established, and you decide to purchase the vehicle, you come out ahead. If the market value is lower, you are protected.

Our lease program allows for 24,000 km of driving per year. That’s about what the average Canadian drives in a year. If you’re a high-use driver and expect to exceed the standard lease’s 24,000 km yearly limit, you may find it more economical to buy extra kilometres upfront.

It's the difference between paying 8¢/km in the beginning and 10¢/km at maturity. And that's yet another way your Nissan Dealership can tailor the lease to meet your needs.


ACQUISITION COSTS TAILORED
With a lease, you may not have to make any down payment at all.* Or, you can tailor the down payment to suit your situation. We hasten to add here that making a down payment will lower your monthly lease payments

FLEXIBLE TERMS
We offer lease terms between 12 and 60 months. Choose a short-term lease and every one, two or three years, you’ll enjoy the ride in a brand-new Nissan. So if you’re the kind of person who likes change, you can change cars more often. And if these changes are in your job or family, a short-term lease lets you switch vehicles sooner to accommodate the change

HASSLE-FREE IS THE OPERATIVE WORD
You won’t have to put up with the hassle of trading or selling the vehicle –ever. Plus, we protect you by assuming the risk if the used car market value of your vehicle turns out to be lower than established. Assuming the vehicle is within the kilometre limit set out in the lease agreement and has no abnormal wear and tear, you can simply return the vehicle to us at lease maturity. No more waiting by the phone, haggling over the price, or getting it certified

LEASE, THEN BUY
Purchasing the vehicle at the end of your lease is yet another option you may wish to consider. Because by this time you will not only like the car, you’ll also be familiar with it.

AND, THE FLIP SIDE…
Attractive as leasing may be, there are some considerations you may wish to weigh with regard to your personal requirements. For instance, at the end of your lease you won't have ownership of the vehicle. It’s like renting an apartment.

You are also responsible for excess wear and tear to the vehicle. That means serious dents, cracked windows and damaged mechanical or electrical components, for example, must be repaired when you return it to us. All or part of which will come out of your security deposit.

*On Approved Credit and no matter what your down payment, you are responsible for the first month’s lease payment (plus taxes) as well as a security deposit (normally equal to approximately one month’s payment, including taxes). The security deposit and first month’s payment are payable when you take delivery of the vehicle.
