My G35 sport coupe has a few months left on it's lease. I'm considering the FX35 AWD. I took a test drive and, although I would sacrifice some power, it handles well and I can drive it in all weather compared to my coupe. Here's what I'm battling in my head: 1. The new 2009 body should be revealed at this year's auto show. Has anyone heard about what kind of change it will be? 2. I like Infiniti but the Lexus RX350 is out there too. Any thoughts about a comparision? 3.The coupe is my first lease. Any experiences with returning a car that has a ding/scrape the size of a credit card but the rest of the car is pristine? Will they kill me on charges? Thanks all. Any insight would be appreciated.

I had very little time to negotiate for a lease but I used some of the figures from this forum to get the best deal I could (on the phone, in less than an hour). Hopefully, others can use this information as a starting point. 2008 FX35 AWD, 24 months, 15K miles Splash Guards, Hands-Free, Touring, Black Roof Rail, iPod, Cargo Protector, Destination MSRP of $43,020 Selling price $39,700 (about $350 over invoice) plus NJ 7% and $500 in fees. $1000 down (includes 1st payment) and $540/month.

Replying to: littlebean (Dec 21, 2007 3:19 am) The 2009 will not be out until the very end of 2009 giving you 2 years to bridge until that model comes out. My dealer told me that is why they are offering such a good lease on the FX35 right now. I also understand that the lease price goes up substantially from 24 to 36 months. I was told that the 2009 will have the technology missing on the 2008 like the hard drive navigation, the park assist camera and the lane assist technology on the new EX35 as well as a few other goodies offered on the current G35. The Lexus... no comparison. If you want pure luxury then Lexus may be your type of vehicle, but if you want a sportscar ride (which I assume you do coming from the G35 coupe) then the FX35 is your choice. The FX is luxurious and has all kinds of neat toys but the ride is a little stiff as compared to the Lexus' quiet, smooth ride. Besides, everyone has a Lexus RX, they are everywhere on the road and are quite boring in my opinion. I priced and drove every vehicle in the crossover category and the FX35 won hands down for overall performance/ameneties. Turning in leases differs so much between car makes. I have been fortunate to have never had a bad cosmetic problem. I just turned in a BMW 325 and the end-of-lease checkoff sheet was quite pricey for dings and scratches, but this is my first time leasing from Infiniti. Only time will tell. |

I am looking for an FX35AWD, Hands Free, Touring and Tech package. Cars direct has MSRP: $46,315, Invoice Price: $42,297, Target Price: $39,997. Edmunds has MSRP: $46,260, Invoice Price: $42,242, TMV Price: $46,110. I am in Nassau County, New York, Sales Tax 8.625. Looking for 12,000 miles per year. What is the best deal should I expect? What is the current money factor (I am seeing .000140), what is the residual (I am seeing 67%). Are these numbers close? Are there any other incentives or discounts? For the record, I am looking to write as small a check when I drive off as possible. I am also hoping to finish this deal before the first of the year. Thanks in advance for any help. |

Replying to: needitquick (Dec 23, 2007 8:32 pm) sounds like you have the current deal down pack (money factor 0.0001 and residual 67%). I know of no other incentives right now for leasing an FX35...If you want to see my deal to compare, it is posting #823... I think I got a really good deal and if you can get the cap cost around $300 over invoice you are doing good. Of course to minimize the down payment, the monthly payment is liable to go up like mine ($599/month for everything but sports package with $2200 down). I think your tax rate is higher so that will add onto the payment. Good luck and JUST DO IT, you won't regret it... I had another vehicle on order and got my deposit back after one test drive of the FX. And the good thing about this current 2 year lease, you will be turning this FX in at the end of 2009 when the new 2009 model is expected (at least that is what my dealer said)... |
