If you follow the recommended maintenance at your dealer, you probably got an OK buy. Personally, I refuse to pay for all the "inspections" that are included in the "standard" service packages...and I do what is needed. I do get the oil changed/lube at the dealer because the non dealers miss lube points....and I look over the "standard" mileage based package to see if there is something I really should do. I never never never put in additives...I even went so far once to make the dealer drain and refill the oil before I took the car because he put in an additive I didn't want.
 
I do rotate and rebalance my tires...making sure they tighten them by hand...I've had too many rotors bent by power drivers. I don't care what they tell you, no tire shop I"ve ever seen actually tests their nut drivers....very few even know how. Alignments when needed. And I will do an alignment if I see uneven tire wear or feel the car pulling (could be brakes...l get both checked).
 
This approach to maintenance costs me a lot less. For the most part, all these cars really need is changing the oil and lubrication, keeping an eye on things like belts/noises and taking some care of the tires. I have never changed brake fluid, radiator fluid, steering fluid in my life....but then again I never keep a car over 60K miles where you might think about doing all that stuff once...and you're into changing the timing chain type of stuff.

Infiniti has a "conquest" program going on thru next month where they will give you $1000 to apply to the lease or purchase of an M...($2000 if you already own an infiniti). You should be able to do a deal at very close to invoice (non infiniti owner), or well under invoice for an infiniti owner.

All,
 
I have seen questions about the Multiple Security Deposit and whether it is returned if a car is totaled. The answer is yes. To make a long story short, I cracked up an 06 M45 sport Tech in the final two months of a 24 mth lease.
The Insuranced totaled it and I am just finished dealing with IFS. While a painful, unpleasent process, they did return the 2 security deposits that I had used to buy down the Money Factor. ( ghstudio - I thought of you and thanked you out loud for keeping me from buying down the cap cost to get a lower monthly payment)
 
Question:
 
Do we have the money factor and Residual value for 24, 36,39 mths on the 08 M35 and M45 sport sedans? I looked but don't seem to find them.
 
Thanks for your help.... This is a great forum
 
Cheers,

I'm at the tail end of my M35 lease and this time am going to buy, not lease. I like change and therefore have driven just about everything out there ... but keep coming back to another M35. I can't find "invoice" anywhere on line so I'm flying semi-blind in my negotiations. I also cannot get a clear answer about the application of the $2K loyalty money. Does that apply only to leases, or is it another $2K that I will receive off negotiated sales/purchase price? I believe it is applicable to both but the local dealer doesn't speak in simple declarative sentences. In all likelihood I will have to make my purchase in Phoenix where there are several Infiniti dealers ... v. only one here in Tucson.
 
Thanks for the help.

About that $2000 loyalty - I also can't seem to get a straight answer. ALL of the dealers in my area are saying it's good on a purchase ONLY. My lease on my M35x ends next month and dealers have been scrambling to get me to close on a G35x or EX35 this month. I was just about there, but I think I'll wait, rather than make a payment on a car I'll no longer have.
 
I kinda crossed the M off the list because it will be at least $100 MORE per month to lease than my payment now - unless of course, something drastic happens in June.
 
But if anyone can clarify the whole $2000 loyalty thing, I'd really appreciate it!

The $2,000 Loyality can be used for a lease or a purchase. I leased an 0 M35 sport / tech/ advanced tech three days ago. The dealer applied the 2,000 to reduce the cap cost and I walked out paying down only the first month and the taxes on the 2000 rebate.
 
For reference my monthly note is 625.00
 
The increase you are experiencing is all about the 61% residual ( down from 65% a few years back). Good Luck!

How much do you think I can get a fully loaded 2009 M45 premium package RWD for cash money under invoice? If the price is the same as the 2008 M45 premium RWD. MSRP is $61,270 don't know the invoice.

Why do you think you'll be able to buy an 09 M for less than invoice? The deals now are on the 08's to get them off the lots. The 09's will sell for normal over invoice prices for a while...at least until the 08's are gone.
