He wouldn't give me the May money factor because of the deal that he gave me on the car was based on my taking a car off the lot that would show up on the April books even though i picked it up in May. I worked the deal out for a G35x no money out of pocket at all, 36 months/15K for $526. He didn't have the color I wanted unless I took one with the Nav package which I didn't want. He than offered me the car with Nav, for the same price as one without Nav. I checked invoice and it was about $200 below. The money factor was .0016 and the residual was 60%. both numbers were dead on for April. The sticker was 39725 and I paid about 36200. Dealer was excellent. (Ray Catena in central NJ).
 
BTW, since he couldn't give me the May money factor, he instead gave me 2 oil changes

Sounds like a good deal, then. The Nav system is nice, but outdated already and way too much money - though the backup camera, juke box hard drive, and CF player are nice. You can't operate the juke box while you drive, except to change tracks on the same album but you can on the CF (goofy engineering). So get a 4gb or 8gb CF card and load it up with music and just leave it stuck in the slot all the time. You have to use folders or it will barf with too many files.
 
I guess your lease is dated for April 30 so your term is 3 days too short?
 
Did you check the residual for last month VS this month? I didn't check, but it is possible the residual was higher for April than May which would make up for the higher April rate.
 
What color?

I agree, the Nav (in any car) is expensive. My Garmin cost me $250. I would never buy the Nav as an option. I am trying now to get my music onto the jukebox. What a pain. I have a ton of MP3s. I have to burn them to a CD to get them onto the jukebox. I wish I could transfer from an IPOD or a CF card.
 
Residual didn't change, 60%. The lease is for today which does bring up a good point. I guess I could have fought him on it to get the lower money factor but I already raked him on the price and I was happy. It probably is about $7/month I think difference and over the term it is about $250. I got 2 oil changes which is probably around $100. I guess maybe I left an extra $150 on the table. I can't cry about it. Not sure if all Infiniti dealers do it but I get a loaner car when I go in for an oil change and they will wash my car also. I couldn't be more happy with the dealer or the sales man. If anybody wants his name let me know (not sure if I can post it here).
 
Car is slate blue with black interior.

Nice color choice.
 
If they dated it today then the dealer is just going to get the extra from the MF as a little more profit since they can't write a lease dated today and use last month's numbers. If they dated it the 30th then it would go through but IFS would get all the money. In either case, it is not like it is a bunch of money. Note that the MF is not on the paperwork, just the payment, price, and residual.
 
I found the CD loading to be really easy and slick. I just drove around listening to XM or something already on the juke box while it ripped (quickly) the CD to the hard drive - of course I have all the original CDs so that makes it easier. Gracenote could not find a couple of my more odd CDs or a new release. If that happens to you don't bother typing the info in, just get a CF card and dump the unknown into to it, then use the free software from the Infiniti page to look it up online and write it back to the card, then upload it back from the card to the juke box. Sounds like a lot of trouble but it is simple compared to manually inputting the data.
 
You can get an ipod for cheap (refurb 4gb nano for $100) and load it up and just leave it in the car - then no need to rip anything.
 
CF cards are even better, I think my 4gb was $10-15 after rebate and you can find them for $25 pretty easy. I have seen 8gb for < $30 as well. You can't put more than 255 files in the root folder (I have been told) but I have way more tunes than that on mine and it works fine. As I said, you can browse folders and tunes while moving with the CF and you can't on the juke box, so just copying all your MP3s to a CF and leaving it in the dash is a much easier and better way to go than burning CDs and ripping them back to the hard drive juke box. The only annoying thing about the CF and folders is that it always returns to the folder level. So you pick song #3 in folder #5, if you then wanted to move ahead to the next song if you hit the steering wheel control it will change to folder #6 and not folder 5/song 4. If you do nothing it will play them in order in that folder then move on to the next. To skip songs you have to select the current folder again by hitting enter, then scroll to the song you want to play next. A small pain, but at least you can do this as you drive. Between the XM, CD/MP3 player, CD changer (for sedans), juke box, ipod interface, CF slot, and the audio/video aux input in the console the G has to be the most music available factory system on the road .

G37 for $485? sounds good to me, which dealer did you get this deal from? best I was able to get on Long island NY for a 39mth 10k mi/yr -0- down on a journey is $525 for premium & NAV with taxes incl (8.6.25). I thought I got a good deal, until I saw your post.

How much are you paying for the car? That is the important part. Also, the bank fee from IFS is $595 and not $795. Either this is a 3rd party lease or they are jacking up the bank fee for extra profit.
