Can I ask how you worked the deal to get to the price you paid? Did you negoiate over the internet, and did you have quotes from other dealers you used as leverage ? I live close to Pleasanton, and the deal you got seems very fair to me. Just wondering how you worked the deal and for any advice you might have.
 
Also, does anyone know the holdback on a G35 Journey with premium and navigation?
 
Thanks, Don

$489.00 for 36 months with just inception fees down ($1722.00), money factor is .00150, residual is 60%
$485.00 for 39 months with just inception fees down ($1717.00), money factor is .00172, residual is 59%

Looks like there is $450 over invoice built into the lease. I was able to deduce this from working with the numbers your provided into a lease calculator. Also the upfront cost looks like $500 over "real" expenses. So overall your quote for the 24 month lease is $950 over invoice plus the $199 Doc fee, which i believe in NJ is rquite easonable.
 
You should be able to bring this deal down at least $600-$700. I'm also in NJ and got 2 quotes from Internet sales people. One was at invoice the other was $500 over invoice, so i don't see why you shouldn't be able to get to a similar deal.

Looks like the 36 and 39 months are consistently quotes with the same profit margins. Namely, about $450 over invoice. I think you can do a little better.

G35XS nav/prem/sport - Help me backwork these numbers! by bcarter610

I'm about two weeks out from buying a 2008 G35xS - nav/premium/sports packages. I've had a bidding war for a little bit now between two dealers and I've received - what I believe is going to be - the winning quote for the ladder G35xS (MSRP's at $40.825)
 
The initial quote I received from the dealer was for the following:
 
"Total out of pocket $3000. 12k/yr $443./mo NJ tax included for 39mo term for vehicle that has msrp of $40,825. selling for $37000..." (Infiniti of Willow Grove - PA)
 
After a small bidding war, this same dealer (Infiniti of Willow Grove - PA) came back on top, but the numbers are now:
 
"Assuming NJ taxes, $3000 due delivery, $435./mo. is the absolute best we can do on a vehicle that we have in stock..."
 
My question is: How can I "backwork" the numbers so that I can be sure that a new quote (for a 24 month lease) only changes in terms of residual and money factor? (I believe the dealer is using May's leasing rates)
 
 --> The reason I ask is because I've decided to go with a 24 month lease, but before this dealer reworks the numbers, I want to make sure they use the same cap. cost as they did for the 36month lease.
 
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I'm anxious to get my hands on this car XD !!!

Seems like the residual numbers in your post are different than what was posted here in early May. Wondering which are the correct numbers.
 
As far as going back and trying to figure out the actual selling price of the vehicle you have in mind, it would be helpful to know what the $3000 down payment includes. If part of the $3000 is the acquisition fee, doc fee, motor vehicle fee and upfront sales tax it is one thing, but if you are putting the $3000 as a cap cost reduction, it would yield completely different figures.

Putting in the numbers you provided and using usual NJ fees of $595 acquisition fee, $249 doc fee, $400 motor vehicle fees, $7.50 NJ Tire Fee you are being quoted about $1000 over invoice. I don't think this is a great deal and putting $3000 down is silly, when you can put down the same $3000 towards refundable multiplie security deposits and bringing down your rate instead.

Using the MSRP price of 40825 and selling price of 37000 with a residual of 60% on 12k miles over 39 month, with 0 down, rolling in the assumed 595 acquisition fee, 400 motor vehicle fee, 249 doc fee and $7.50 tire fee and putting up 9 refundable multiple security deposits bringing the money factor down to .00082, your monthly payment should be $432. Again this is with nothing down and a refundable amount of $3888 that you will get back at the end of the lease.
 
I think this is the way to go versus handing them the $3000 and having nothing to show for it if your car ever gets totalled or stolen. Plus you get the $3888 back when you bring the car in after the 39 months. Instead of you giving them $3000 and never seeing it again, they pay you back $3888 and you save $3 per month.
