I had a baby and need to turn my coupe in for the q50

My problem is i have 20 inch after market wheels on there now and sold the wheels that came with the car but i still have the 18inch tires brand new

What are my options? find 18inch wheels? they are 1000 dollars everywhere i look, anyone selling them? can i turn in my current wheels? i am in such a hurry to get this car i need 4 doors asap and need some quick advice

also there is some damage on the car on the front bumper the fog light fell out, i got a letter from infiniti last night saying they cover up to 500 dollars in damages

any suggestions on any of these issues?

 

Find someone to trade your 20" wheels for their stock wheels..you might even come up with extra cash doing this depending on your wheels.

Look on craigslist or ebay for oem wheels.

Buy some for 1000 dollars and sell your 20" wheels to make your money back. Here's one I found for 900$ shipped.

Fog light fell out sounds like a simple fix. Why can't you just put it back in and tighten it up?

 

You could always look into baby seats that fit the coupe . . .

You don't necessarily need a 4 door car for the new baby. It might be a hassle getting a kid in and out of the baby seat in the back of the G, but on the bright side, you can take comfort in the fact that you are saving a lot of money every time you do that exercise.

 

Just out of curiosity, what part of you thought it would be a good idea to sell the wheels on a leased vehicle?

 

Wanna trade??? I got coupe 19s! Looking for aftermarket!

 

Sounds like problem solved, although I'd just cram a baby seat into the back of your G.

Hell, when my son was born I bolted a baby seat onto the parcel shelf of my '69 e-Type because it didn't even have a back seat!

Of course, getting him in and out was pretty easy since it was a roadster...

 

Get the Chico Key fit 30. I used that for awhile and it worked great, it should buy you some time.

 

You seem like this took you by complete surprise. I would think you have around 9 months for a game plan. Unless the baby was just dropped off on the front porch one night.

I'm also interested to know why you would sell wheels from a leased car? Were you planning on buying the car after the lease? Just living in the moment and needed some cash to offset the 20's?

 

Denial is a wonderful thing...

 

You don't have to go through the lease turn in process (worst idea). A lease is no different than a buy. You can off it at anytime you want at any dealer and it's just a normal trade in process (or even just give it back to the dealer, I've done this too). It still has a normal used car value based on condition and miles and they call the bank or lease company to find out what the payoff is (can be higher than a buy but not always since a buy pay scale pays all interest at first with low principal or value plummets). You can call the lease company to get your buy out as of today and look up trade-in to see what a dealer will offer. The dealer isn't going to care about wheels or anything else aftermarket unless you ghetto rigged stuff. Nice wheels, exhaust, etc its in your best interest to sell before hand though because they're not going to increase your value and the dealer doesn't care whats on it.

 

Some leases have made it really hard to bypass the dealer to ensure they don't miss out on a decent used car as well as the chance to sell you a new one.

Nissan leases are a major pain to buy out; lots of hoops to jump through and a dealer has to handle the paperwork...

 

How though? If you call for a buy out they have to give you the payoff. Then go to a bank and get that amount and buy it off them. Then go trade it in. This of course is a stupid way of doing it. I've never had issue but you might be right. In any case it's not on your shoulders. Give the dealer your account info and nissans phone number and let them two work it out. It might take a week for the dealer to get the title from nissan and such but you're on your way home within a day.

 

I did not trade the car in, I sold it to a third party and the dealer inserted itself into every step of the process... [middle finger emoticon]
