#97 of 1369 2005 vs 2006 FX 35 - Lease Questions by philbrandn Dec 12, 2005 (7:23 am)
Hi,   I have a few questions in regards to an FX 35 lease.   I am planning on leasing an FX35 premium package with tech and navigation in the next few months. I could do it as soon as tomorrow or as late as February or March. I am looking to make the most cost effective and smartest deal (as we all are, i'd imagine .   I went to the dealer the past weekend and got a 39 month lease rate of the following, depending on where I decided to title the car:   Cook County (Chicago) : $617/month Chicago Suburbs: $567/month Cleveland, OH: $517/month   I was told taxes are so different in these locations that, as you see, the payments could vary by $100/month.   I've learned that the 2006 fx35's are being released in February, and that there are incentives on the 2005's right now. My questions are these:   1) Other than the center console, are there really any big differences in the FX35 between 2005 and 2006?   2) The salesman I spoke with said that prices will be higher on the 2005's once the year rolls over. I find this a bit hard to believe, since I would think they would be working hard to get those 2005's of the lot. What are your thoughts?   3) Based on your knowledge of prices on the new (2006) fx35's when they arrive, how big of a jump in price do you foresee to lease a 2006?   4) To the best of your knowledge, do taxes have this big of an impact?   5) What is a good price on a 36 month 2005 fx35 lease right now?   6) Is there any downside to leasing a 2005 model (that is essentially a year old)?   FYI - I am in the Chicagoland area.   Thanks so much for your assistance....   -PhilBrandn Replies to this message: Car_man (Dec 13, 2005 3:07 am)

Replying to: ufhenoblah (Dec 05, 2005 11:33 am) Hi ufhenoblah. There's no need to surprise the dealer that you are negotiating with about the fact that you want to lease. You should be upfront with them about it, especially because it will make a difference in the price that you are able to get this truck for. Infiniti is currently providing $1,500 dealer cash on the 2005 FX35, but this cash cannot be combined with its special lease program. Tell the dealer that you want to lease and negotiate a price as close to dealer invoice as possible.   As far as this model's lease program goes, it varies depending upon how long you lease for. For now, I will tell you about its 36 month program. Let me know if you want information about a different term. If you were to lease a 2005 Infiniti FX35 2WD 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 .00123 and 57%, respectively.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: cox8884 (Dec 06, 2005 6:41 pm) Congratulations on your graduation (in the near future), cox8884. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the FX that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this truck's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to work up a sample lease payment on the FX35 that you are interested in for you if you let me know what these numbers are. You may be able to get an idea of how much you will have to pay for this model by visiting the following discussion: "Infiniti FX45 / FX35: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: cox8884 (Dec 16, 2005 4:49 pm)

Replying to: dmcm (Dec 09, 2005 8:54 pm) Hi dmcm. It's difficult to say what Infiniti's lease program on the FX35 will be like in a few months. Right now is a pretty good time to lease one though. Infiniti has a decent level of lease support on it and dealers seem to be willing to cut good deals on them both to squeeze a few more sales into their year-end totals and because the 2006 model will be arriving in the near future. If you are in the market for a new vehicle now, I personally don't see any reason to wait to get one.   You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the FX that you are interested in leasing.

Replying to: philbrandn (Dec 12, 2005 7:23 am) Hello Phil. I am not personally all that familiar with the differences between the 2006 and 2005 Infiniti FX, but you may be able to find out by visiting the following discussion: "Infiniti FX45 / FX35".   While dealers are often a little more willing to negotiate at the end of the month and the end of the year to pull as many sales into their monthly and annual totals as possible, I personally doubt that you will see the prices of 2005 FX35s go up in January. That will be even closer to the arrival of the 2006 model and most likely dealers will be anxious to get the leftover 2005 models off of their lots and they will discount them accordingly.   I have heard that Chicago has a strange way of calculating sales tax on leased vehicles, so it would not surprise me if it was significantly more expensive to lease the one that you want there than it would be to lease it in other areas.   Infiniti has a pretty good lease program on the '05 FX35 right now, so there really isn't any downside to leasing one.

#102 of 1369 If it helps by dhamilton Dec 13, 2005 (7:16 am)
I leased a fx35 with touring for my wife in september. With $1300 down the payment is around $474.01 I negotiated the selling price of $35,300. I believe that's about $100.00 under invoice. That payment includes the awful Texas tax where you pay tax on the whole price of the vehicle. I hope that helps somebody. Great car. So far I think only the dreaded Nissan brake rotors are going out. I'm making an appointment this week to have them checked. A little to soon IMO only been 4 months
#103 of 1369 More Information by philbrandn Dec 13, 2005 (9:14 am)
Thanks Car_man and dhamilton for the info. Here's the information I received from my dealer. Again, this is on a 2005 FX35 AWD with premium package and tech (including navigation). Please let me know if you think this is a fair deal and where you think there is room to improve. Does the selling price seem high? Are the money factors in line with Infiniti's programs?   Thanks so much.....Phil   Base MSRP…..$45160 Base Invoice…..$41402.56 Selling Price…..$41,652.46   Residuals 36….$26644.40 39….$26192.80   Money factors 36…. .00119 39…. .00116   Payments with $693 cap cost reduction (acq fee +license and title)   36 x $593.78 39 x $563.56

#105 of 1369 FX 35 Lease...Need Advise Car Man by sks109 Dec 13, 2005 (1:51 pm)
Hi Car Man,   I've been following your words of wisdom, and have called 3 local dealerships, and received similar quotes. The most competitive quote is:   FX35 AWD ~ Touring ~ Black on Black MSRP: $40,800 Cap Cost: $ 37,302 36 months, 12000 miles a year Residual: 59% Money Factor: .00119 $460.00/month (tax included) $1370 due at lease signing (Bank Aquisition Fee, Doc Fee, First Month's Payment, Title, Registration, and Inspection costs. No Security Deposit)   How does deal sound? This is lowest Cap Cost I could negotitae. Dealership said they were making $161.25 on the invoice. What are your thoughts?
#106 of 1369 Is this a good lease deal for an FX35? by mbh4 Dec 15, 2005 (10:14 pm)
I'm turning in an 04 Acura TL early on a lease. I'm upside down approximately $3200 if the dealer gives me high blue book trade, and he has said he will do so based on the description of the condition of my car. He has already checked the payoff amount on the lease, the VIN number, and the registration...OK, so here's the deal.   Keep in mind the monthly payment includes paying off my TL   '05 FX35 w/ Touring and Technology Packages   18,000 miles per year 39 Months Drive Off: $1750 Monthly $: $618.90 (includes tax)   Without the trade-in, the deal would be.. Drive Off: $1460 Monthly $: $507.00   I don't know the residual, but the money factor is .00115 right now.   Thanks to any and all for your feedback.
