I am on the look out for a family car having just welcomed my first child into the world.
I have been tempted by a few but I am probably gonna pull the trigger on this. I think the Xtrail is a great looking car.
The price I quoted is for the visia model, which is down the lower end of the spec. You can click and get the higher spec variants with similar levels of discount. I will be going for the Tekna, which has leather and a panoramic sunroof.
I think for the money this is great value and the reviews have been positive. I personally know 2 people with one of these and they are very pleased with them. That may change when I show them this deal - as they pay significantly more for their xtrail than this.
I know leases are hit and miss with folk so I am not gonna broach that but it suits my situation. It mentions a admin fee but I couldn't find the ammount, so I have rounded the cost up to the next £100, it may well be a little more than that.
It's for 5000 miles, but you Can add further miles up front or just do as I have done and pay the excess mileage charge at the end of the lease.
B/c they cannot sell them at full price and need to shift them. Nissan make huge amounts of cars, not to order but to sales expectations.
This car is being refreshed for 2017 with new front end, tweaked engines, etc. As a result they know that certain amount will not sale so they can put them out to lease companies, thus not having to lower the sales prices to general public, which in turns maintains a higher price (and profit margin) in the retail sector. Nobody wants a reputation for selling cheap cars, that means you would loose your price integrity and find it hard to charge for the next car!
I run a huge fleet in the UK and am responsible for many others in the EU. The deals we have direct with BMW bring the cost of a 3 series down to levels that would make private buyers sick!

I love it when people have their first child and need a massive vehicle for it. :smile:
I have a Tekna Qashqai on lease direct through Nissan employee scheme and they have just put the X Trail on the scheme. £360 a month gets you a fully insured Tekna so this deal actually works out better I reckon.

Brilliant price. I can't understand how profit can be made on a £20k+ car that is leased for only £4700 over 2 years.

Easy, just inflate the rrp, to make the lease deals look good. This is not 3x better than a Dacia so why do they think they can charge 3x more?

I rented one of these for a month from Hertz earlier this year. It far exceeded my expectations. Really good fuel economy too

Wow that's quick. Glad I've helped someone.
I agree about how do they make money on such cheap deals. These must lose 40-50% of value in the 2-3 years. But I'm not gonna lose too much sleep. :smiley:

Love this car, rented it for a week in Scotland and did not want to part with it. Came home and bought the Qashqai as the XTrail to big for my day to day journeys.

I've had X-Trails for the past 9-10 years, albeit the older T30 shape.
Great cars, well built and hold their value pretty well.
At under £200/month, this is a pretty good deal, although I'd probably need to add more mileage.
Still think the Outlander PHEV might make more sense for me though.

My other car is a Nissan Leaf and love driving an electric car. Any decent deals on the phev?

So it's a way of shifting large volumes when the need arises without Joe public being annoyed that cara are being had for a fraction of showroom cost?

Reveal the deal and enlighten us. I am not aware of many BMW drivers who pay full price anyway. There are always deals via brokers. Even for used cars many BMW dealers will knock off almost 15% of the list price.
