Replying to: quattro (Aug 15, 2004 4:43 pm) Last year Infiniti got caught with a few too many 03s so come January there was some great deals on the remaining 2003 cars. I was getting quotes of $5000 off MSRP the FX35 and $8000 off the FX45. When the 2004s came out last year it was possible to get one for $700 over invoice. At invoice on release on the '05 is probably a tall order but give it till January and it will be there or therebouts. Sometimes dealers will just sell cars at a loss because it's better than having them sat on the lot, especially after the model year is not current. Also, sometimes the manufacturer will tie sales of older, or less popular inventory to the supplier of more popular models. One example was last year when Infiniti dealers that sold more I35s and 03 G35s got extra 2004 G35 Coupes. Hope this helps. |

Replying to: wibble (Aug 15, 2004 7:52 pm) Will update you on how my purchase goes. Need one more advice. If I'm planning to keep the FX for 3 years is it better to buy or to lease? I've never leased a car before and I have no idea how well the FX will retain it's value.

That was me who had the fix, and it worked pretty well. Not super-comfortable, but good enough that I didn't feel like I had to ditch the car. I've taken plenty of long trips in it, and don't have the pain I did before (or any, really). Of course, now I've had some sort of engine trouble that has taken my car out of commission for two weeks as of today, and they are still baffled as to the cause.

Replying to: quattro (Aug 15, 2004 10:28 pm) Sorry. I missed this post. The 3 year residual on a 2004 FX35 is 55% at the moment. The money factor is 0.00179 which is equivalent to an interest rate of 4.9%. Looking at a 2004 FX35 AWD with touring, a 3 year 12,000 perannum lease with the acquisition fee, security deposit and first month payment paid up front (around $1500) would be around $495 + tax. Financing the same vehicle over 60 months with the same down payment would be roughly $685 a month. Both figures assume $100 over invoice for the car. Something to bear in mind with Infiniti is that you can qualify for their best lease rates with a credit score above 620. Their best (2.9%) finance rate requires 720+. Hope this helps.
