Hello psch101. The selling price that you were quoted for this vehicle looks reasonable to me. Let's calculate a lease payment on it using Infiniti's actual lease program and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 FX35 AWD with an MSRP of $40,560 and a selling price of $38,000 through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $454. With only 12,000 miles per year, the payment for an otherwise identical lease would drop to around $444.

Hello kack. You absolutely can negotiate this car's selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. For feedback on how much you should pay for this vehicle, make sure to stop by the following discussion: "Infiniti FX45 / FX35: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

Hi someguy1. If you were to lease a 2005 Infiniti FX35 AWD through Infiniti Financial Services in October 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,
 
For the FX35 AWD with the selling price of $38,000, how much money down would be reasonable to put down for the figures you calculated in order to get the monthly payment of $444 for 12,000 miles per year for 39 months ? I am assuming that the down payment would include tax, title, registration fees, and inception fees ? Please correct me if I am wrong or if somone already stated the down amount, I am new to leasing.
 
I am being offered a lease for a 2005 Acura MDX base for $2,000 down, $400 /mo for 36 months, and if I can get the FX for the same or similar deal, I will take the FX!!
How much down payment do I need to put down to get the FX at $400 a month?
 
Thanks,
Alex

Hey guys there is no reason you should be paying $449+ for a 39 month lease on the fx35 with an msrp of roughly $38k. I beat a somewhat local car dealer to piss today on a lease for an fx35. I got 10k mile lease $560 a month for 36 months. BLACK WITH BLACK INTERIOR Tech Package, Sport Package, Touring Package, NO REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. Tax all included. They have trunk money, holdback money, and they have the money factor they all can squeeze cash out of. Just pressure your car dealer, the worst case scenario he says no and you either walk away or come back with a counter offer. It's your money, try and save as much of it as you can, don't feel bad for them. You dont need to buy the car they need to sell it. Oh and as for 39 month lease almost NEVER do it. Im guessing the 36 month lease must have been about $480 a month well figure this out.... $30 payment diff each month * 39 months =$1170.... Last three lease payments=$450 * 3= $1350. They are stealing an extra $180 from you by doing this. P.S. When your dealer says he can't find what color you are looking for with the options you want, just reply, "That's ok I'll go make a few phone calls myself." Haha boy that will surely get your car dealer moving!! Any questions? Feel free to ask.

Today I got a quote for an FX35 with Touring Pkg, $37,100 sale price, $2500 down, $417/mo for 39 months. ...or, $3,128 down, $400 /mo for 39 months. What do you all think?

#26 of 1690 FX35 AWD Lease - Southern Cal by badad

I am also (soon to be) an ex-Audi owner. Looking to lease an FX35 AWD with sport and touring packages only. I know they've got a special lease on, but want to try out the following idea: If MSRP is $40,770 and sales price is $37,200 -- what would I typically be paying for a 39 month lease? A 42 month lease? I'd like to put the least amount down, but stil try to hold the pre-tax monthly below $450. Is that possible? I live in Southern California if that's a factor. Thanks.

This is funny, I also happen to be a soon-to-be ex-Audi owner..
 
I've been dreaming of an SUV for my next car, almost settled on the Acura MDX, but the way the FX drives - its like a beast, and that roar is like a motorcycle! However, I do wish the seat were a little higher than it is, like in regular SUV's...
 
badad, you should get a similar deal to mine then.
 
I am wondering if I can get it less than for $37,100. Thats $1000 off MSRP already, but I've seen better deals on it a year ago from a dealership that was overstocked. So I figure at the end of the year there should be similar better deals. Otherwise I'm now considering getting it 1-year old to save some $$$.

I like the looks (int and ext) of the FX35, but I'm having a difficult time getting hold of a 2005 AWD w/sport and tourning packages. Every dealer is pushing the RWD w/navi, and with the end of the model year, it's about all they've got. The FX35 handling is great, the sound is nice. I'm shifting to the SUV cause my kid is so tall (needs back seat and head room), but also cause he'll be learning to drive soon. An A6 4.2 with a sports suspension is just asking for trouble with a new driver. In the meantime, I'm checking out a 2005 Murano SE AWD. Little cheesey looking interior, but decent price and drives pretty good. Miss the "roar" of the FX35 exhaust, though. Thoughts?

Hi Alex. Have we discussed this lease before? I don't remember doing talking about leasing an FX35 with you. If not, I need you to provide me with its full MSRP (with the destination charge added in) in order to estimate what your lease payment should be. Technically down payments aka capitalized cost reductions are different from the amount that is due at lease signing. Down payments are used to reduce the amount financed for leases and lower their monthly payments. I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen during your lease, your insurance company pays off the bank that you were leasing it through and your down payment essentially disappears. The second main reason is that down payments on leased vehicles do nothing to reduce their lease-end purchase prices. So your lease-end purchase option price for your FX35 would be exactly the same, regardless of whether you had put several thousand dollars down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all. Even if you choose not to make a down payment, you will still have to pay money at lease signing. This money includes your vehicle's first month's payment, a security deposit equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $25 or $50 increment, Infiniti Financial Services' $550 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees. This month Infiniti is waiving its security deposit requirement on this model, so at least you won't have to worry about that.
