#411 of 804 My M45 Deal by airgator Mar 30, 2006 (5:09 pm)
Forgive me ahead of time for such a long post but I wanted to let everyone know about how great Infiniti of Orland Park IL. was. I started researching these cars a year ago and slowly narrowed my choices from the Infiniti M45, Acura RL, Lexus GS 430 and BMW5, down to the Lexus and the M45. It has been a wonderful educational experience reading about each of these cars. I am convinced you can't really go too wrong with any of them, but never the less after the test drives there was no longer a doubt the M ROCKS!! I put my deposit down today on an M45 Non-Sport. My local dealership in Indianapolis was not very helpful and didn't want to deal. We only have two dealerships in Indiana so competition doesn't exactly motivate these people. having said that the sales guys on the floor were great, but I said so long and contacted the Internet Manager in Orland Park, IL. The experience was totally the opposite. She was fantastic to work with. I had a price, credit approval and lease offer in three hours by fax and phone with zero negotiating required.   Here was the deal out of the box:   M45 (non sport)Umbria Grey/Bourbon Premium Pkg. with XM Spoiler Mud Guards MSRP $58,700 Invoice $53,334 Final price $53,400   36 month lease 0 down $712.38 includes doc, title, license fee and Indiana 6% sales tax. Pre-tax payment $672.06 no security deposit drive away price $712.38   That is the good news the bad news is that since the car was ordered they will only lock in the price not the leasing terms. I can get out of the deal and recover my deposit if the terms go way out of sight or the car is unacceptable upon delivery. I think it looks like a great deal, except for waiting two months and some uncertainty about the market. Any way I can't wait for summer.   Best Regards Airgator

#416 of 804 Try this Lease Calculator - $500 over invoice. by themaven Apr 02, 2006 (3:53 pm)
I decided to step up and get the M45 with technology package. Being the Maven that I am, I did extensive research of cars and feel great about my decision. I have the money, but it is important to feel that I got a great deal.   Process I followed: 1) Use Edmunds to to research the car you want. Go to the dealerships and test drive them to get a feel. 2) Go to the book store and buy a car buying magazine that has detailed MSRP and Dealer Cost information. You can also buy this online at Consumer Reports where each option is also listed out, not just the car's cost. 3) Using message boards such as this to gather current market knowledge and facts, use Edmunds to send off a detailed quote request to local dealership's internet divisions. Also look for others online as Edmunds doesn't list all local dealerships. The internet dealers know you have done your homework and are the most willing to sell cars at x amount over dealer invoice. 4)Use the lease calculator attached (http://storeandserve.com/download/175464/Lease%20Calc%20Final%20-%20Share.xls.h- tml)(go to the link, hit download on the right middle, then scroll down to bottom on the next page and scroll down to click on file) to test the numbers and options to ensure you are not getting screwed. No offense to CarMan, but I tried the lease calculator here on the site and even bought one online. Both were junk, so I had a genius at my work use the formula's to make a new one and he got within 1/2 cent (rounding) of dealership quotes. This calculator allows you to change the Cap Cost, Residual, Money Factor to run different scenarios. It does not take taxes into consideration as each state does this differently. Emailed it to myself and check the numbers on the dealer's computer - knowing I had that made my final buying experience quick and easy. Enjoy! 5) The deal: 2006 M45 Umbria Grey with Journey/Technology Package/Sirius/Full Size Spare MSRP: $58,190 Cost: $53,487 ($500 over dealer invoice) 36 Month Lease Residual 57% Money Factor .000126 Total Cost $689.57 + $56.89 Tax = $746.46   Love my car! - FYI these were the March Rates - not sure about April - I'm in the Bay Area and bought at Frontier Infiniti in San Jose - great to deal with.
#417 of 804 M35 Sport Lease by mrshermanoaks Apr 04, 2006 (8:40 pm)
After buying a car, I never know if I've just dealt with the smartest or stupidest people ever. But here's what I got in Southern California:   39 mo lease on a 2006 M35 Sport with the Journey and Technology (XM) packages. $4k out the door (no security), 12k miles/yr, $580/mo plus taxes (total $630/mo)   (ooops, forgot to mention they also rolled in $2300 in outstanding payments on my last lease)

Replying to: hokie28 (Mar 31, 2006 12:54 pm) Taxes, tags and freight are not included in the invoice price... So i would assume the $500+INV number does not include those.   Just picked up an M35x in the NYC metro area, exactly at invoice. Serengheti Sand, Journey Package, XM SR. Great car so far!   Ted Replies to this message: prodigous (Jun 23, 2006 1:07 pm)
