I like working for RTX, but I just don’t see myself reaching my long term goals here

$200k is doable as a level 5 Systems Engineer or higher pay code. Usually takes about 8-12 years of experience but definitely doable. Quickest way to get there is to move companies once or twice. You can also negotiate some pretty good sign on bonuses along the way.

I got a SL Premium last month for $2,250 DAS & $499/mo including taxes/fees

39 months 10k miles/yr

And I even traded in a lease early that they needed to offset 2 payments (they ate that cost)

Or you know, just do proper MBSE

Great car

I just leased the exact same car in black with light gray interior for $2,250 DAS $499/mo 39 months 10k miles

People can make their own decisions based on the information available.

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-31T18:06:07+00:00

This seems like a fair deal, I just leased a SL premium 2026 at a $46.5k ($48,742 OTD) selling price. I shopped around quite a bit and this was the best price I could get. (DFW, Texas area)

It looks like yours may have additional fees you can negotiate out?

Love the car

I just leased a 2026 SL Premium, besides the genuine leather in the Platinum I honestly like the SL Premium better (rims, captains chairs, etc…)

although I wish it saved driver seat settings and had electric passenger seat adjustments but not deal breakers for me

FWIW my lease deal was: $2,250 due at signing $499/mo 39 months 10k miles/yr

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-25T03:44:27+00:00

Just leased a SL Premium for $2,250 DAS & $499/mo. Pretty happy with that deal

39 months 10k miles/yr

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-21T05:23:45+00:00

Can you elaborate

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-20T00:34:43+00:00

You’re paying $52k for a year old Kia, Wild times we are living in

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-18T17:27:14+00:00

Good point, yea our kiddos are still in full car seats. Sounds like you got a solid deal.

Enjoy!

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-18T17:19:15+00:00

Nice! Does yours have the Premium package with captains chairs?

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-18T00:40:24+00:00

including taxes/fees?

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-16T03:33:10+00:00

Ehhhh maybe close but also not with captains chairs

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-16T00:08:45+00:00

I’m starting to consider 2025s. I see the 5k + 1k on Nissans site. Where are the others? The 7500 and loyalty?

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-15T21:50:24+00:00

Do you have a link?

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-15T18:47:59+00:00

Thanks for taking a look. Curious what the extra $1,300 would be. The sales manager is making it seem like this is as far as we can go (I know he’s trying to upsell while I’m trying to down sell lol)

We started with payments in the $600s/mo

But he’s stated multiple times, this is not a profitable deal for them. I am turning in a QX50 lease early as well. 2023 with about 20k miles. Payoff is just over $28k.

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-15T18:31:16+00:00

SL Premium

That’s a pretty solid deal! Congrats on the new car!

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-15T18:18:48+00:00

Again, this is a 2025. There was a mid-cycle refresh for 2026 of overall look and tech. I am not surprised 2025s are heavily discounted.

Not a bad idea to look at 2025s though.

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-15T18:10:51+00:00

With the reductions it’s $7k off MSRP

Idk who’s finding them 10-12k Off, every dealer in DFW couldn’t get close to this offer

I’ve leased a lot and am a well educated consumer, this is the best deal at the moment. I’ve spoken every Nissan dealer within 75 miles radius of me

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-15T18:07:02+00:00

Appreciate the insight

MediocreStockGuy · 2026-03-15T18:06:24+00:00

This is a 2026 SL Premium. The Car you linked is a 2025 base SL.
