Destination charge is a real fee and is charged to the dealers and passed on to the customer w/o markup.
 
Dealer "doc" or "prep" fees are just made up fees to make extra profits for the dealer. Nothing wrong with them as long as you include them in your quotes. If dealer "A" charges you $35,000 including a $500 doc fee and dealer "B" wants to charge you $35,200 plus a $50 doc fee for the same car which is better? The one with the $500 doc fee, in this case.
 
The Hot-lanta are Infiniti dealers are all stuck on a $500 or so fee as is my local dealer. Just down the road a bit is an Infiniti dealer with $0 doc fee.
 
Dealers with high fees never come off them, but you may can get them off the price to offset all/most of it. It would be a lot easier if they were capped at some number (like $50) as they are in NY. One thing that really irks me is when dealing with an out of state dealer they still want the big fee, then once I get the car they send ME
MSO and power of attorney and *I* go stand in line to title the car for them. Good thing I got the car at a nice discount since I am paying them and I stand in line....

February Lease numbers by dwynne

These are all for 36 month, 15k miles per year. I don't have the other numbers, so don't ask . The residuals are all the same as last month, but the rates are all a good bit lower - so the payment is lower this month.
 
G35 journey sedan 59% 0.00167
G35 sport 6mt sedan 57% 0.00167
G35x sedan 59% 0.00149
G37 journey coupe 60% 0.00192
G37 sport 6mt coupe 61% 0.00192

 
I updated my chart to show the sample payments compared to prior months, and as you can see Feb is the lowest since I have been tracking on all models. The cars in the chart and equipped with premium pack (only) and leased at $500 over invoice with the bank fee and everything else paid at signing.
 
Payment chart updated for February

$495 is a total monthly payment including the sales tax.
The sale price came almost $300 below the published invoice.
On my previous note I wrote $700 Destination and just to clarify that is not the $715 Delivery charge that is part of the MSRP price. One local dealer gave me a sale price of $200 below the invoice, but added a $700 destination charge because he had to get the car from another dealer.
Sales in January were slow and not a surprise that a good number of dealers were OK to go below the invoice. Hope this information is helpful.
Again thanks to everyone in this forum.

I am working on a dealer for a lease on a coupe journey and they are telling me the rate is .002050. is this a standard rate for all of ifs or can dealers move this around? I asked them about the lower rate which you posted and they said they can't do any lower. thanks

The rates I posted are the tier 0 and tier 1 IFS "buy rates" for the 36 month term. Any dealer has the option of marking the rate up for extra profit. They could also have to charge a higher rate if IFS did not approve you for the top tier rate. They could also do both on the same deal - marking up a higher rate.
 
Nothing you can do if it is the tier, but if the dealer is marking up rates just find a dealer who does not mark up the rates (or charge a "doc" fee). Sometimes you can get the GM of a dealership to approval a deal w/o markup on the MF, but generally it is easier to just find a dealership that never marks up rates.
 
There could also be a typo in the rates as I typed them or as they were given to me. I would simply ask the dealer if they are marking up the rate or what.

Dennis,
 
I asked this previously a couple of weeks ago but my car was still on order and the rates have rolled to February. We are planning on picking it up Saturday. My example is the g35x. My dealer still insists 740+credit gets the best rate (tier 0) .00149, 700-739 gets the second (tier1) .00197, 650-699 (tier2) and so on. You always refer to tier0/1 receiving the same rate (MF), in this example both would use the .00149MF. Are the just feeding me crap to make more money? My score is 736, the difference between the two factors is $30 a month so its kind of a big deal to me. BTW i can verify the Feb.MF for the g35x .00149, he showed me in print.
 
Thanks

My lease is up on my speed 6 soon and am looking for another car. This one looks sharp. What would a good lease price be for 24-36 months 15 k year minimal out of pocket on g37 base? Am in Michigan and there is some competition but not a ton. More big 3 dealers than anything else.Credit score is good.
