Of course (hitting my forehead) - I didn't add either of these (Technology Package $2,900.00 Infiniti Mobile Entertainment System $1,600.00) so that's how I arrived at 51k.
   
I just ran my car specs on Edmunds and the invoice price comes up at $48,174.
  
So, add $300 to the invoice price then deduct my 2k loyalty discount. My base cap cost is $46,474. Sales tax (7%) plus the going APR (5.5%) and the price is still near $648 a month. I'll put $1,500 into the deal too. 43 months.
  
Still seems high, right? I think the 5.5 APR is crazy high for a lease but this is the economy we are in today.

Did you use that formula to calculate your monthly payment? I just realized sometimes some of these dealers add advertising fees and processing fees. (look at the small print) I would ask the dealer to show you the invoice since many car dealers do or better yet, just print out the Edmunds. Maybe you can get it at invoice, who knows, these dealers should be happy,someone is walking through the door, maybe throw in a dinner at Mortons. LOL

But what's your reaction to the APR at 5.5%? Don't you think that is awfully high for a lease? Typically, you see something far more competitive like 2.9% or less.
 
In fact, if you adjust my numbers based on an APR of 2.9%, the monthly drops significantly. (down to $563.00 w/ tax) I think this is the reason my monthly seems higher.
 
In your area, do you know what range of APR's Infiniti dealers are offering on lease deals? Something tells me all Infiniti dealerships have the same lease programs.
 
And, I have been using this lease calc to get my numbers:

the rate is high. Is that what the money factor equates to? If you have .00275 X 2400=interest rate in this rate 6.6% as an example. I heard this is the way to compute interest rates from money factors.
You can prob go to www.leasecompare.com and see if u can get better rates. It might also depend on credit as well, like Tier 0-2 might have different money factors.

Ok - this is where we are disconnecting. Yes, the money factor I was quoted at both Gold Coast and Fields is the same (.00229) This is based on my credit score which is over 720. It's the only lease factor infiniti is offering today on the 2009 FX.
 
This is why my monthly seems high but appears to be the going rate. Using your forumla above and it equals 5.5%.

I wonder if you go to www.leasecompare.com, maybe you can get a better rate since they are competitive. Do you have an FX35 or FX45? I would love to get a leftover 2008 FX45 for which they are offering 0% for 36 months. I found 21 nationwide. I am willing to travel if its worth it. Of course my current lease has to get paid off. I know of one at Ray Catena Infiniti in NJ thats being offered for $39900. Don't know if its sold or not.

I am driving an '06 FX35 (diamond graph) with Touring and Sports packages. It's my second FX35. My first was a 2005 (saphire) that drove like a tank. The '06 reengineered drive is soooo much better. And I looked throughout the leasecompare site but their rates weren't that good either. I think it's just the economy we are in now.

I regret not getting and FX 35 or FX 45 when I got the M 35 Sport.
So next one will definitely be an FX. I like the diamond graphite color, too bad they discontinued it. Sapphire Blue is also nice which is quite rare as I have only seen them at the dealership and never on the road.
I didn't think there was that much difference between 2005 and 2006 besides some cosmetic changes on the outside and revised instrument panel and some additional features.
