I am interested in leasing a 2005 Nissan Exterra SE, with bumper guards, side rails and splash guards. The MSRP is $29,000, selling price is $27,000. Terms for 36 months, 12K miles a year, $1000 down- what should my lease price be- in addition, my current car is up in August, it needs to be inspected in July, does it make sense for Nissan to pick up my Honda payments now ($388) to avoid any improvements I may need to make- thanks. |

Just leased my Infiniti M35 yesterday using the money rates provided by you. The financial man said I was the first person he saw this year that actually received the IFS money rate - seems that all others paid a premium over the base rates. He was curious as to how I got the rates because IFS doesn't share them with the public. Oddly the money rate or APR appears no where in the lease agreement. Thanks again |

I have been quoted a lease of $1089 for a 2006 CLS Benz. The selling price is $70650 ($1000 off sticker). The lease factor quoted is .00360 which the salesman says is the best they offer. Residual is 65% and the term is 39 months. Nothing down, other than the security deposit, dock fee, and 1st payment ($2430 total). I live in NC. 15k miles/year. Could you recomend me going with this deal? |

I'm in the market for a Convertible, but I would like to have a backseat as there is usually a third or fourth person that accompanies me. Are there any outstanding deals out there at the current time? My original wishlist was either of the following, but they don't have back seats. S2000 350z Touring Roadster Otherwise, for a 4-5 seater, I'm looking at: Ford Mustang GT Premium Chrysler Sebring Limited CLK320 325 Any other suggestions? I'm figuring the CLK and the 325 will be a stretch due to the nature of BMWFS wanting to charge premium over the MF. I listed the 2xRoadsters as I haven't yet completely given up that option ... it all comes down to cost. Lease term I'm looking for something with the best overall bang for the buck, so I'm guessing 36-48 months more than likely. Thank you everyone in advance.

Hey Car_man, Do you have any history on how often Infiniti will release new promotions to move their vehicles? I've asked you tons of questions about the G35x - and you answered them all so helpfully... But now that I have been tracking dealer inventory for over a week - these cars are NOT moving... Every few days, all 10 dealers within 140 miles that I am tracking are getting 3-4 new cars... With few if any sales (numbers going down between successive days). My closest dealer does not appear to have sold a single one in over a week - and now has 7 more than this time last week. (70) One would think that infiniti would have to do something to start moving them - as they likely have more en route. Am I crazy thinking that low demand due to high gas prices might force them to put some incentives out there? |

| I've never leased a vehicle before, but I am looking at leasing an '05 or possibly '06 530. I live in Chicago South Suburbs and I've heard IL is unfriendly towards leasing. Why is this? Also how does leasing work? Anywhere I can go to do reasearch on how to get a good lease? If I wait until later in the year will the lease price differ from earlier in the year, such as leasing an '05 now vs '06 later in the year or even an '06 now. I have a lot of questions so any help would be appreciated. Thanks! | |

Hi tlbuyer4. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the car that you are interested in leasing. These are important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this car's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to work up a sample lease payment on the car that you are interested in for you if you let me know what these numbers are. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hello tpell3. As you have seen, few things in this world are really free. If you want to get out of your current lease four months early, you are either going to have to pay your remaining lease payments out of your own pocket or have the dealer that you get your replacement vehicle from pay them for you. Having the dealer pay them for you will hamper your ability to get a good deal on your next new car. If I was in your situation, I would wait until I was closer to the scheduled end of my lease to get a new car. It is difficult to say what Infiniti's lease program on the G35X will be like in four months, but I would be willing to bet that even if it is worse than it is now, and there is no guarantee that will be the case, the difference between its program then and now will be less than the $2,000 that you would have to spend to get out of your lease now. Of course, there is no way to predict what automakers will do with their future lease programs with 100% accuracy. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |
