When looking for a new car, one of the most important questions to ask yourself is whether you should plan to buy or lease the car. Both options have benefits. Continue reading to see how these two options differ and to see which financing option would be the best choice for you.
Benefits of Buying a New Car
Sole Ownership
Once a car is purchased, you can keep it as long as you want because you are the sole owner of the car. If you decide you no longer like the car or would like to trade-it in for a different model, you can do so whenever you’d like. To terminate a lease early often means expensive charges and penalties since you do not own the car.
Total Freedom
Since you are the sole owner of the car, you are given free reign over how the car will be used. While leased cars are given limitations regarding how many miles the car can accrue in a year and what types of customizations can be made, a buyer is not held to these same regulations. While these decisions will affect the resale value, the decisions are ultimately yours to make.
Benefits of Leasing a New Nissan
Leasing Is Cheaper
When you buy a new car, the monthly payments break down to include the total value of the car since the owner gets to keep the car once it is paid off. Since a lease only covers the value of the car for the agreed-upon time period the car will be in your possession, the monthly payments will be considerably lower.
No Strings Attached
When a car is purchased, it is the responsibility of the owner to manage the sale or trade-in of the car before a new car can be purchased. This headache can be avoided by leasing the car instead. At the end of the leasing term, simply drive the car back to the lot, sign a few documents, and walk away from the responsibility of having to resell or trade-in the car. If, at the end of the leasing term, you decide you would like to purchase the car, you can buy the car and drive it home. If you’d like to lease a new car, fill-out the paperwork to lease a different car and enjoy a new car instead.

Utility
While you’re hauling passengers around, you may also need to stow some cargo. All told, the Murano offers up to 67 cu. ft. in cargo space when properly configured.

Whenever you embark on an adventure, you can count on an estimated 28 mpg in highway fuel economy.

What You Should Know About the 2019 Rogue
Performance
The 2019 Rogue comes standard with a 2.5L engine that’s equipped with Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control and is capable of delivering 170 horsepower. It also comes available with Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission, which holds your engine at the ideal speed for the job.
The new Rogue is also ranked as the most fuel efficient in its class, and for good reason: standard models 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway, while hybrid models get 33 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.
Thanks to its soft suspension, the Rogue provides its drivers with a smooth and predictable ride, regardless of the situation. For drivers who might find themselves in rapidly changing road conditions, consider looking at the available AWD drivetrain, which sends power to the tires that need it most in the moment.
Safety
The 2019 Rogue is available with a variety of safety tools to guarantee peace of mind while you’re behind the wheel.
Nissan knows that accidents happen — that’s why the Rogue has Nissan’s advanced airbag system, which features dual-stage supplemental front airbags, side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted curtain side-impact airbags. Additionally, you’ll be able to secure LATCH-compatible child restraints in the backseat without having to use seat belts or a locking clip.
This crossover is also available with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Easy-Fill Alert, which tells you when a tire is low and alerts you when you’ve reached the correct pressure. Of course, if you do suddenly end up in a dicey position on the road, the available vehicle dynamic control will be there to help. This system reduces engine power as it detects irregularities in steering and braking, and sends power to the right wheels to bring you to a safe stop.

Valley Datsun, Racing Around the Globe
A few years back, we received a Facebook message from a gentleman named Richard Brown from New Zealand. He had imported a 1972 Datsun 510 race car that was branded “Valley Datsun” and said Longmont, Colorado on the side. When he found Valley Nissan of Longmont online, and knew there had to be a connection!
Turns out the vehicle was by a mechanic that used to work for us in the 80s. Our dealership sponsored the car, hence the Valley Datsun livery. Richard restored the car, including the original Valley Datsun livery and now races it in New Zealand. It was even featured in the New Zealand Performance Car magazine!
It’s very cool knowing a historic race car with our name and town on it is now racing halfway across the globe! It’s even cooler that it’s owned by someone who is so willing to keep us in the loop! Recently, Richard messaged us again to let us know that Greenlight Collectibles will be making a die cast replica of the Valley Datsun. He also showed us the t-shirts he had created featuring the car. We ordered some of the shirts and they are now available for sale in our parts department. Come check the out and get your own piece of Datsun racing history. We’re also working on getting an order of the die cast replicas once they are available. We’ll be sure to keep you posted when we get those!
A big thanks to Richard for keeping us informed of everything he has going on! It’s amazing to see how racing can bring people together, even from the other side of the globe!
Meet the All New 2019 Nissan Altima
We recently had the pleasure of training on the all new 2019 Nissan Altima that will be available for sale at Valley Nissan soon! Aside from the beautiful new interior and exterior design, there are a lot of exciting new options on the 2019 model. The 6th generation of our best selling mid-sized sedan will come with option AWD for the first time ever, making it a more practical option for many of us here in Colorado.
The new Altima will also be packed with Nissan’s newest Intelligent Mobility technology, including ProPilot Assist. This amazing feature is a hands on driver assist system that reduces the hassle of stop-and-go driving by helping control acceleration, braking and steering during single-lane highway driving. The smart cruise control will keep you at a selected distance from the car in front of you, no mater how much the pace of traffic fluctuates. It will even bring you to a complete stop during traffic jams or when the car in front of you stops at a red light. The steering assistance reads the lines in the road and will continuously adjust the steering wheel to keep you in the center of the lane.
Additionally, the 2019 Altima features the world’s first production ready VC (variable compression) turbo inline 4 cylinder engine! This new engine will replace the previous generation Altima’s 3.5-liter V6 engine. The VC turbo generates the same performance of the V6 gasoline engines but with 4 cylinder level fuel economy. Learn more about the VC turbo here.
New Level 3 EV Charging Coming to Longmont
We are very excited to announce that Valley Nissan has received a grant from the Regional Air Quality Council through the Charge Ahead Colorado program!
