thx for the help guys. i'm currently waiting to hear back from one other dealer in texas. as for the car being rare, i don't think it's really all that rare, more so that it's not as popular as the black/graphite duo. the stone interior makes it more rare and harder to find. in a 28 state area, there aren't any 2008 black g35's w/stone interior sitting on anyone's lot. there may be on one of the coast's, but that's completely cost prohibitive for me. gforce: i do appreciate your cautioning me in being adamant about my choices. before the deal is said and done, i'll come to the table equipped with knowledge. i also have been sitting on the idea of this car for 8 mo's and let them know that. if i wait another 5 month's, so be it, it won't be a big deal to me =) i'm just searcginh for the best deal possible. thanks to you guys, we're all able to compare notes in order to know where we stand.

Replying to: drjustin (May 09, 2008 10:51 am) question: how accurate is the edmunds site as far as "invoice pricing?" anyone know where their information comes from? the dealer in texas basically told me to go buy the car from mr. edmund, and that mr. edmund has not returned his calls since 03'. it's all been very amusing. of course he said it all in geest. secondly: most these dealers don't want to move away from the TMV/"what everybody's paying"(edmund) price as their "sales price" or "initial cap cost." additionally, one dealer has mentioned he may be able to get my MF lowered with a call to IFS due to their "high volume" sales history. all interesting banter nonetheless.

Replying to: drjustin (May 09, 2008 6:58 pm) I think I would find another dealer, this one does not sound too bright. Are you doing all this via e-mail? Talk to the "Internet sales manager" via e-mail at all area dealers and see what kind of prices you can find. I would never call or walk into a dealership for anything other than a test drive until I was ready to pick up the car. The dealer may be correct on the rate, if you read the info on the IFS web page it says, in part: When you finance a car at an Infiniti Retailer, you will enter into a retail installment contract with the Retailer. If IFS approves your credit application, your Retailer may elect to assign the retail installment contract to IFS. If that is the case, the dealer may be willing or able to give you a better rate.

Hi all. I’ve been a silent observer for a while now and I have learned a great deal regarding the ins and outs of financing and in particular leasing. I am interested in a G35x to replace my BMW 325xi. By chance I happened to have a few hours yesterday and took a one out for test drive. I was impressed and an now ready to get serious about driving the best possible deal. With that said I have a few questions I hope that that you knowledgeable folks can shed some light on for me. 1) The rates quoted on this site for a G35x are on 15k are: G35 AWD: 24-70%-.00131 36-60%-.00150 39-59%-.00172 Using quote of 39675 including fees (yes I know it is really high but it was a first pass) I come up with the following for a 24 and 36 month lease with 5% tax as follows: 36 month = 547.96 24 month = 422.42 I am sure I have read on here and other sites that most people recommend going with at 36 month lease. My question is this. Unless I have grossly misunderstood the calculations then why would I not want to go with a 24 month lease? Especially given that it is over $120/month cheaper? What are the pros of going with a 36 month and the cons of a 24 month? 2) I found out that they first dealer I went to marks up the MF for leases. They are quoting a MF for a 36 month lease at 0.00170. As I didn’t ask for anything more than a first pass I did not question it. My question to your folks however is, where other than here I can find posted IFS money factor rates. My credit should be Tier 1 (that’s what I told them) and they did not pull my credit so they could only go on what I told them. I want to be able to quickly point to a “known” website or source that provides the ‘real’ MF rates. 3) When trading in a car on a lease is it better to take the money back in cash? I read here that putting money down to reduce CC on a lease does not make sense but I want to make sure taking the case back from a trade-in is the thing to do. Or are there better options? Thank you to all you folks who help out! This forum, site and the people who visit it looking for information are much richer for it. Thanks! -S
