Dear Nazarenk: Try Pepe Infiniti in White Plains, NY . I am a Costco Customer. I live in Westchester Co., NY and was referred to Pepe as an Executive Member of Costco. They treated me very well. I leased a 2007 G35X - Black/Stone, w/o Navi, Premium package, $2,400 OTD which included sales tax (about $1400), bank fee, a nd fist months payment. Pay $440/mo; 39 months, and they are a very repsonsive dealership. My initial contact was made via the WEB & used the Costco referral. I priced the deal at 5 different dealships: Manhasset, Massepequa, Manhattan, a Jersey Dealer and the one in Hartsford. My cousin is one of the main mechanics at Massapequa, even they couldn't beat the price. Did it at Month's end April 2007. Best bet is to wait for the last day or 2 of the month as Dealers want to make quotas. This forum does not allow me to relay the Internet sales person name. All I can sy is: it was a female.

Oh Yeah. Forgot to add: 16.500 Miles per year with the lease at the price + add tags and title charges - another $78 or so, I think.

Does anyone know how to reset the trip miles so I can see how far a tank of gas will get me?

This isn't the right forum for that, Allbiz. . . . (Hint: Look to the lower left area on the dash--it's possibly hidden from your view by the steering wheel.)

RTFM - and I posted a link the PDF for the "FM" the other day .
 
I sat at the gas station after my first fill up looking for this as well - and finally had to pull out the "FM" to see.
 
The reset is on the left side of the dash on the front behind the steering wheel. Where *I* sit and have the wheel set it is perfectly hidden and on subsequent fill ups I had to hunt for it each time . See item 5 on the cockit layout picture.

Dennis,
 
Thanks a lot for your quick posting. I really appreciate it.
I do live in Connecticut Hartford area and the sales tax is 6%
 
Since $34,487 is correct and you confirmed that, I assume that something is off on the rest of their calculations.
 
I plugged all the numbers you gave me into Edmund's lease calculator (59% residual value, .000079 money factor - assuming that 1.9% is the rate, then 1.9/2400=.000079) and my number was $465/month.
Still lower then what they want.
 
I do not understand why am I paying tax twice? I am paying $2,087 tax on the car price and then every month I am paying tax on my monthly payment???
 
Thanks again,
 
nazarenk

Maybe that is where the numbers are off? I would ask someone else who lives in CT or check online, but from what I could tell it is 6% state tax on the payment only. Is there a property tax or something else due?
 
Like I said, if I added that tax on top of the car then the payments work out about right.
 
I would quiz the dealer about it - tell them you though CT was tax on the payment and it looks like they are charging you sales tax on the whole car up front AND taxing the payment.
 
I should also mention that the "Conveyance fee" is just another word for "dealer doc fee" and if you leased the same car from another dealer that charge no extra fees - just your VPP price - you could "convey" that $299 into your pocket rather than the dealer's .
 
Remember when you have a VPP code you are done negotiating, so if you find a dealer with no extra fees that will do the deal for buy rate on the MF then you are "done". You could also talk to area dealers about pricing BEFORE you disclose your VPP - since some folks are reporting getting as good as VPP or lower prices by negotiating.

The biggest problem I see with putting the money up front to make a smaller monthly payment is-
1) You total the car sometime during the lease.
2) Someone steals the car-
 
In either case, you LOST all the prepaid money.
 
My wifes leased car was stolen last wednesday. Because I used THIS FORUM and got a Kick-ass price and paid NO MONEY DOWN. I actually got $1500 back AFTER insurance paid off the lease and I had a $500 deductible too. So really I had MADE $2000 on the car.
 
How many leases do that!?
 
So never pay up front unless you are perfectly willing to consider the money a loss. I have a friend who did the Inifiniti lease on an M45 and totaled it the first weekend. The insurance paid out and he owed nothing but he got nothing. His money was pissed away.
