Replying to: eoseire (Apr 22, 2009 3:36 am) And you didn't even list the correct terms (it's 39 not 36) although I realize this would only further reduce the monthly in your scenario. By the way, who could possibly follow your Formulas ... too confusing. |

Replying to: eoseire (Apr 22, 2009 3:42 am) The $1,500 is my first payment ($600), and the acquistion fee ($565) .... the balance ($335) is part of the cap cost reduction which brings that amount to $2,335. (Not 2k + 1,500 as I initially listed). Now the numbers 'work'. With LA county sales tax at 9.25%, my total shows $600 per month. RIGHT?

Replying to: jayrandall (Apr 22, 2009 11:43 am) Firstly I never said you were off by $100. I said either $59.75 or $15.73 a month depending on what the $1500 was doing to the cap cost. The formula is basic math. The 36 months reference is just as an example. I would have thought that obvious. Here the formula in action based on the new info you provided Cap cost= 47055 - 2000 - 335= 44720 Residual Value = 51435 x 0.52 = 26,746.20 Depreciation = (44720 - 26,746.20) / 39 = 460.87 Interest = (44720 + 26,746.20) x .00091 = 65.04 Base Monthly Payment = 460.87 +65.04 = 525.91 LA County tax = 525.91 x .0925 = 48.65 Total = 525.91 + 48.65 = 574.56 This is not rocket science. I was only trying to help you out. Didn't want to see you get ripped off and using the faulty info you originally gave you were! I ran the new numbers through the website calculator and got exactly the same number as above. If you don't you're doing something wrong. By the way that calculator is buggy. If you go back a step and then forward again it doesn't always give the correct result. You have to go forward step by step to then end without stopping to get an accurate result. So if you want to pay an extra $992.16 over the life of your lease by all means pay $600/ month. I'm sure the dealer will be happy.

Replying to: eoseire (Apr 22, 2009 7:26 pm) He went on to say that he is making 'almost nothing' on the deal. And according to another dealer whom I cross referenced my numbers with (Santa Monica Infiniti), they also confirmed that my offer was solid and they could not do any better either. So unless you are speaking to me as a dealer, somewhere your numbers are slightly off. Maybe my dealer is taking a small profit (less than $350) and he isn't disclosing it to me, but according to him the offer will not get any better. Are you a dealer?

Replying to: jayrandall (Apr 23, 2009 7:14 am) The MF and Residuals you have are correct as I got the same number from my dealer in NY. I suspect your missing some numbers such as the destination charge because when I spec'd the car as you describe on Edmunds I get a MSRP of $51820 plus. an $865 destination fee. Ask him does the MSRP included the Destination Fee. Also are there document fees, DMV etc. He might be rolling these into your payment. Tell him you're just trying to understand the numbers. Be polite about it. I think the deal seems good if you missed the destination fee and any other fees. I get $582.08 if you add the $865 destination fee into the payment. You mention an acquisition fee of $565 which I guess is the Bank Fee. That's normally $595 in my experience. You need ever number documented in order to figure these things out. Tell you just want to understand it all as it's a lot of money especially in this economy. Good luck.

Cost - 50,160 (premium, touring and trailer hitch) CAP - $46,184 MF .00101 Resid. 50% Term 39 months, 15K miles per year They are quoting $606 per month with $1452 (bank fee and first month) out of pocket plus DMV fees. Taxes are in payment - Westchester County, New York. i am a returning Infiniti leasee. Not sure if they applied the $2,000. Also, isn't there an additional $1,000 conquest cash (I also have an Audi).?? Any factory to dealer cash? Holdback? I think the payment is too high. Help. D. Peck |

Replying to: eoseire (Apr 23, 2009 8:20 am) I just spoke to an assistant sales person, and there is a doc fee of $150 and a disposition fee of $350. With these two items, I am 'guessing' that he is also adding $350 of profit so perhaps that is how you are seeing the difference in the numbers??? $150 $350 $350 But even if he is making a $350 profit, there is nothing I can do about it. If I don't like the deal, I need to find a different dealership. He won't lower the price bad economy or not.

How does this deal sound, This car is an old sticker car (before the msrp was raised) so with AWD, and Premium it is stickered at 45K and change The deal is 1500 drive off, out of pocket 4500 for multiple security deposits (which i get back at the end to reduce money factor) 39 month 15K lease monthly including taxes 490 in PA how does that sound, this includes the 2K owner loyalty cash for the lease. thx |

Replying to: jayrandall (Apr 23, 2009 11:38 am) So now the numbers work out at $587.60 I think it's as good as your going to get. Why don't you just ask for a print out with everything detailed so you can review it. That's what my dealer here in NY does. It's completely transparent. Are they quoting you exactly $600? If so over the life of the lease they're making $483.60 It seems a good deal to me but it's good to have all the numbers so you can assess it for yourself. The reference to the economy was so that they would understand why you where being so specific about getting the details and look what happened ever time you've asked more questions. There nothing wrong with being an informed customer.
