The used models have risen in value. low mileage 10s are still selling in the 70s. Nissan is continuing to raise MSRP’s so used cars are holding value. A new black edition is like $115K. It was like $90K… a 09 Premium was like $80K new. Anyone who buys a high mileage 09 better have it checked. LC1 wasn’t forgiving. > > Leasing makes sense for someone who owns a business. You can write off that entire lease on your taxes as a business vehicle. Still a crazy amount of money. this, nissan is doing it right with the gtr… raising the msrp is so smart in this case, back in 09 coulda sworn they were high 70s low 80s new… up till recently you could barely get a 09 for that… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/saving-money-cutting-costs/265835)._
