If you're shopping for a new vehicle but don't want to commit to making payments on an auto loan, there is another solution. When you visit your local Nissan dealership, you can find your favorite vehicle and begin a lease. Once you do, you'll experience all the leasing benefits that come with this kind of temporary vehicle ownership. more Four Leasing Benefits of Leasing a 2025 Nissan Nissan From Your Local Nissan Dealership 1. A Short-term Commitment If you're not ready to commit to taking out an auto loan but still need a new vehicle, leasing one may be your best option. Leasing doesn't require a long-term commitment, which has many benefits on its own. You can choose a vehicle you love, even one that may not be practical for your lifestyle long-term, because you won't be keeping it long-term. Once your lease is up, you can switch it out for something different, or, if you love it, you can upgrade to the latest model. Leasing keeps your options open and gives you more flexibility, especially if you're in a season where your job or living situation is in flux. 2. Versatile Options Once you commit to leasing, you can visit your local dealership and explore the Nissan lineup. You can choose from crossovers, cars, trucks, SUVs, EVs, and sports cars. You can browse the latest new Nissan models, including the following: The Rogue The Kicks The ARIYA The Pathfinder The Armada The Frontier The Titan The Nissan Z The GTR The LEAF The Altima The Versa The Sentra The Murano 3. A Brand New Car When you lease a vehicle, it will be a brand-new vehicle that's never been driven by any other driver. It will have that new car smell, look, and feel. Additionally, you won't have to worry about car problems not only because it's new but because you'll have a warranty that will cover the cost of any vehicle issues during your lease. 4. Lower Monthly Payments Another benefit of leasing is that you'll have lower monthly payments and extra room in your budget. You won't have to cover all the same fees that you would if you took out an auto loan, so your payments will naturally be lower. You also won't have to plan for vehicle repairs because you'll have an extensive warranty, and in some cases, your routine maintenance appointments, like oil changes, may also be covered. Leasing may be your best option if you've been shopping for a new car and don't want to commit to an auto loan. We can give you more details about the leasing process and help you choose the right vehicle for your lifestyle.

How do you know if it's time for transmission service at your Nissan dealership? There's a few signs that can tell you that trouble is brewing, and it's never safe to ignore them for too long. more 6 Signs You Need Transmission Service at Your Nissan Dealership Slipping Your transmission should always be able to slip in and out of gear easily, and especially when you are accelerating on the interstate or climbing the hill. If you can feel the gears slipping during these significant moments, all is not as it should be, and it's important to get it checked out as soon as possible. Leaking You never want to see a leak on the floor of the garage, but it can sometimes be hard to tell whether what you're looking at as a transmission leak or something else. If you are seeing dark spots in the driveway, the smart thing to do is to put a piece of cardboard under your vehicle the next time you park so that you can better tell exactly what you're looking at. If the leaking fluid is brown, dark red, or bright red, it's probably transmission. A dark brown could also be oil, but oil will have a distinct smell that you'll probably recognize. Be sure to get this checked out quickly to avoid transmission problems down the road. Smells If you are smelling something sweet and burning at the same time as you drive, it might very well be the transmission fluid. It could also be coolant that's burning, but both of these are something you need to have checked out by Nissan-trained technicians at your dealership. Rough Idling When you're sitting at a stoplight just idling, your vehicle should definitely not shimmy and shake. If it does, this could very well be your transmission. Tough or Noisy Shifting If your transmission is having trouble shifting, and it feels like it's straining to get into gear, this is a sign you need some service. You should also get service if you hear a loud grinding noise whenever the car shifts gears, and especially if this is accompanied by your car having difficulty accelerating at green lights. That Light Comes On If the transmission light or check engine light comes on, that's your car telling you that it's time. Don't ignore these lights, as tempting as that might be, because usually they're not just an error and need to be checked out. If you notice any of these signs, come and see us at Jim Keras Nissan in Memphis, TN and talk to our service techs. We'll help you keep your Nissan in peak form for its whole lifetime.

Lane Departure Warning Much as we strive to pay attention to the road, distractions happen and can cause fatal accidents. The Lane Departure Warning feature helps prevent unintentional drifting outside your lane by detecting lane markings and monitoring your vehicle's position, and will deliver a warning if it detects that you're drifting over the line. 3.

If you've got your eye on a new Nissan, you might be wondering about your financing options. The good news is there's no need to search the market as you'll find a great range of finance deals here at your local Nissan dealership. Here are just a few of the benefits of financing your new car with Nissan. more Five Reasons to Finance Your 2025 Nissan at Your Nissan Dealership 1: More Competitive Deals Here at Nissan, you'll be able to take your pick of a wide range of the most competitive deals on the market. This is because we work with many different finance providers, allowing us to find the best option. This includes providing finance to individuals with all kinds of differing credit backgrounds. In contrast, when you approach your local bank or credit union, you will only be offered finance from their own narrow band of products. 2: Less Red Tape Although affordability and competitive rates are usually the main consideration, convenience matters too. When you take out finance with a lender elsewhere, you will have to arrange a separate appointment and may require proof of your purchase. This process means that buying your next Nissan can become protracted, with lots of red tape. That's not the case when you opt for finance via your dealership, as all the details are in one place. 3: Expertise in Auto Finance Banks and credit unions deal with all types of loans, which means they don't specialize in auto financing. Our finance experts deal in auto finance and nothing else, which means they can offer real expertise in this area. If your credit background is complex, or you're looking to get credit for the first time, it can be a real asset to speak to someone who can explain the different options. 4: Full Range of Financing Options Our finance team arrange credit for lots of customers, which means they have access to auto loan deals that aren't available elsewhere. Whether it's a special offer or discounted rates, you'll find more options at your dealership than with a regular lender. Nissan can also discuss the different types of finance too, whether you're looking to buy the vehicle outright or prefer a leasing deal. 5: Fast and Easy Process We know that applying for finance can feel like hard work, so we've streamlined the whole process. You can even apply for car finance online before coming in for an appointment at our dealership. This is ideal for anyone who prefers to complete applications in the privacy of their own home or who prefers to save time. Applying for financing shouldn't be difficult, and with us, it isn't. We're always happy to help with any questions or preliminary inquiries as well as assisting with a full credit application. To find out more about Nissan financing deals, get in touch with us here at Jim Keras Nissan in Memphis, TN to make an appointment.
