My Take: I shouldn’t really have to tell you what to do with these lease rates. You can get a new car loan at a lower interest rates than what you would get charged here on a GT-R lease. Smart people would pay cash; Desperate ones would probably sort for a lower interest loan; The rest should donate to the RIDE with G Fund. LOL.

A nice exercise, but why even waste your time and ink on such a vehicle, that many may dream of but few will ever lease? Even if such had the world’s best residual & money factors, means nothing in $dollars compared to the insurance premiums charged for the lux vehicles.
Re a hi-end Mercedes, GEICO wants to interview you on the phone about the vehicle, in depth, prior to giving a quote.
An ongoing, say weekly, run down of what most everyone buys, from all models of: F-150s, to Camrys, Accords, Sonatas, Civics, Fusions, and such type will well serve the most number of Edmunds’ readers, IMHO. Insurancewise, for me age 60+, no tickets, no accidents, a new Camry that is equivalent to same model Accord is $400 @ yr insurance cheaper, NYC area from GEICO.
@SJ. I hear ya. You know, believe it or not, some people actually request GT-R numbers. So I figure if it’s there, might as well post it. I think someone visiting the site mentioned they had a GT-R. I’m still waiting for those pics! LOL. But yeah I hear you point, the majority of the folks out there aren’t looking to jump into luxury cars. Yes, insurance is definitely a huge factor, but I think that if you are a luxury car shopper, you probably wont let something like insurance stop you from getting what you want. I guess what I am trying to say is that the whole point of the site is to help you get into what you want, for less. If I knew insurance would stop me from getting into my G37, I never would have done it. But it really didn’t bother me much. I pay about $1800 a year on a my wife’s 07 TSX and my G37 per year. What I would recommend people to do is whenever you get a new car, shop your insurance around. I used to pay $2100 a year on that TSX and a Mazda3. I shopped around when I got my G37 and I managed to shave $300 off my annual rate and I got an even a lower deductible.
Lease deals are good at the moment on GT-R’s.
My local dealer quoted the following for a 2010 Premium.
MSRP $84,720.
Discounted price $79,844.
$2,174.80 total due at signing, 12,000 miles per year, 24 month lease. $1,346.46 + tax per month.
@wg. I’m not sure I can agree. Seems rather high to me since taxes aren’t even included. The discount of the price tag is not bad though, which is around 6% off MSRP. I wouldn’t except this car to be a “great” lease any time ever. If it were me, I’d buy this car instead of leasing it. I’d keep it as my ultimate weekend toy. garaged 5 days a week.
