Probably a somewhat unfair generality, but many people are using leasing to buy beyond their means. Also leasing makes sense if you are going to trade every 2-3 years no matter what. Buying makes more sense when you stick with what you can afford and/or keep the vehicle for 4+ years.

I am really thinking of just leasing because I probably will not keep the car for 4 or more years it would be more like 3 years. I am negotating a price right now. How would that work if I do decide to lease, and I have heard that of people being able to just pay first months payment and TTL instead of a down payment. How does that work??? I have never ever leased a car before ( I am sure you already guessed that though); help, please...Thanks...

Hi bmreynolds. I agree with the previous poster, many consumers lease this truck because it is relatively expensive and its lease payments are much more affordable than its finance payments would be. You absolutely can lease without making any sort of down payment (also known as a capitalized cost reduction). Negotiate the selling price of the FX35 that you want, just as if you were paying cash for or financing it. Then tell the dealer to calculate a lease payment on it using Infiniti Financial Services "buy rate" lease money factor. It is important to specify that you want them to use the lowest possible lease money factor to calculate your lease payment because dealers can make additional back-end profit on deals by marking up lease money factors on consumers. Infiniti is scheduled to publish its new September lease program later on today. I should have a good idea of what its new program is like in a day or two and would be happy to share this information with you if you post a reminder in this discussion for me in a few days. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Hi bmreynolds. I have had an opportunity to take a look at Infiniti's new September lease program. If you let me know exactly which vehicle you are interested in, as well as how long you want to lease it for, and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it I can tell you what its lease program is currently like.

Hey someguy1. If you were to lease a 2005 Infiniti FX35 AWD through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00155 and 60%, respectively.

Hi Car_man. I'm looking to negotiate a lease on an FX35. I was hoping you could help me cut to that chase so I know what numbers I'm looking for. I'm shooting for a purchase price of $41,200 / 36 month lease / nothing down (or just the first month) / a $610 destination charge / taxes rolled into the monthly payment ( I believe it's 6.25% here in Texas). Based on your calculation, what should my non-paded monthly payment look like on this vehicle???
 
Thank you in advance.

I JUST PURCHASED A FX45 2005 A LITTLE MORE THAN A MONTH AGO NOW. IT LISTED FOR $56,000. DEALER NEAR MY HOUSE OR ONLY ONE IN STATE WOULDNT BUDGE ON PRICE, WENT TO QUIRK INFINITI IN BOSTON MA. OR BRAINTREE ACTUALLY, SAT DOWN WITH FIRST SALESMAN, FOR 10 MIN. OR SO HIS BOSS SAT DOWN WITH MY WIFE AND I, AND I WALKED AWAY WITH THE ONE I WANTED LOADED EXCEPT CHROME RIMS/DVD FOR REAR PASS. FOR $47,500, PLATNUIM PAINT DAMN THING IS F'IN SWEET. TONS OF COMPLIMENTS. SO I SAY SEE WHAT YOU CAN NEGOT. FOR A FEW THOUSAND MORE I GOT THE V8 AND ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES, AND 2.9% FIN. ALSO I WROTE IN ABOUT THE FOG LIGHTS, CHANGED THEM MYSELF 50 WATT HALOGEN BULBS DO NOT GO WITH XENON IM SORRY, BOUGHT PIAA #9006 I THINK, I BOUGHT THE ONES WITH A YELLOW HUE TO THEM AND THEY ARE SO MUCH BRIGHTER, COULD HAVE GOTTEN FOG LIGHTS CLOSER TO THE XENON COLOR BUT I PERSONALLY LIKE THE YELLOW ONES, KIND OF LIKE THE LEXUS GS/IS FOG LIGHTS. SO BASICALLY DEALER TOOK OFF ALMOST $10,000 ON A 2005, GO TO ONE DEALER FILL OUT PAPER WORK AND GO TO ANOTHER IF YOU CAN THEY KNOW WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO OTHER DEALERS.
