Hello, Would anyone know which dealers have new FX45s still in stock. Unfortunately, Infiniti website does not have dealer inventory like Nissan does. I live in the Atlanta area and Infiniti of Duluth has a new loaded 2008 FX 45 (except RES) for nearly $13K off sticker! Its around $42K and change. The caveat is it has the brick interior which I am not too fond of, and exterior is Autumn Copper! thx Kris

Replying to: qe2m (Oct 19, 2008 8:18 am) I am surprised, you didn't even look at the x6 and made your decision  I test drove the inline6 x6, haven't tested the FX, You test drove the FX twice? I would suggest every1 to test both cars, then make a decision that what suits you better. You did not post what price you got for your FX50? |

I visited a Chicago area dealer this past weekend and negotiated the following for a fully loaded 2009 FX35. (Premium, Navigation and Deluxe). $658 per month on a 39 month lease. Residual 54% APR 5.5% (Argh) 10,000 miles per year But - they are asking for a lot down, 3k down plus first payment. Thoughts?

Replying to: jayrandall (Nov 09, 2008 8:17 pm) I think that is too high. Do you know what the money factor is? I believe CarMan the moderator posted residuals and money factors in one of these posts. Also in Ilinois, you have to pay full sales tax which you have to add in the payments. Does your monthly quote include taxes also? I am sure you can get a better deal if you shop around. Dealers need to move cars.

Replying to: jayrandall (Nov 10, 2008 5:08 am) You should go to Infiniti of Lisle. I know a good salesman there. what price is the lease based on? I heard people are getting FX 35s for invoice. I am not aware if you can negotiate money factors or residuals but it pays to shop around. Try this formula: I got this info from www.leasecompare.com. Lease Payment Calculation Formula: (Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation (Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Base Rate = Interest Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment Terms Used in Lease Formula: CAP COST = Vehicle Purchase Price (amount financed) RESIDUAL VALUE = MSRP (window sticker) X Residual % TERM = Length of Lease in Months (3 years = 36 months) BASE RATE = Dealer’s Buy Rate (dealer can mark this up for profit)

Replying to: kshankar (Nov 10, 2008 7:29 am) You can't negotiate residuals, and the money factor will change beased on model. (e.g. the EX's are being offered at 0.0 APR right now). I would check out the Lisle dealership. But it seems to me the Gold Coast deal is high either due to the sales tax or a high APR for the lease program. And I am not really familiar with Luxury Motors but it seems like both dealerships are shady.

Replying to: jayrandall (Nov 10, 2008 7:42 am) I would think 5K off MSRP and another 2K off with lease loyalty and then use the formula to calculate monthly payments. I have not heard anything good about Fields but Luxury Motors, definitely avoid! You can GOOGLE them and find the results. I have had good experience at Lisle with regard to sales and service.

Replying to: kshankar (Nov 10, 2008 9:59 am) I was mentioning that MSRP is 51k for the vehicle. You believe I should be able to get close to Invoice (only $300 over) which is interesting. You feel fairly confident that 5k less MSRP is near the invoice price? So once I get the dealer down to close to invoice, I should use the 2k loyalty program as the last bit of leverage. Am I getting the program now? And thanks for the info about the Chicago area dealerships. They both reek of shadiness. I'll def. checkout Lisle.
