Infiniti Warranty: 4 years/ 50K bumper to bumper 6/70K drivetrain Need I say more. Owners pay for wear and tear/ Lessee's pay for wear and tear. You can only take a deduction for lease payment based on proportion of driving in the course of the business. That does not include driving commuting to work or pleasure driving. The IRS requires a log be maintained by the lessee for inspection. Similarly the car owner can take a depreciation deduction for miles driven in the course of business. I'm a trial lawyer who drives to various courthouses in a 60 mile radius from my office in Chicago. It accounts for about 60% of my total annual driving. My accountant states that for tax purposes there is no benefit for me to lease. In response to Brian62: 6 yrs worth of lease payments divided by the maximum miles permitted (72K)=$0.48 per mile. $40K purchase price financing - $20K (retail value after 6 years)/ 72K miles = $0.27 Infiniti NA is offering 1.9% financing for 36 months/ 3.9% for 60 mos!!!!!!!!!!!! Your absolutely right. The $/mile cost of the lease is not 100% more expensive than for the purchase, its ONLY 78% more expensive. Who spends $4-6K in maintenance on a car they bought new with the Infiniti warranty? My Mom and Dad each had mid 1990 BMWs they bought new. He still drives his 5 series and she sold her 3 series last year to buy a new 3 series. They drove each of those cars for 13 years and did not spend more than $6K COMBINED in maintenance, including a rebuilt tranny for the 5 series last year. I bought my car with 70% down, and financed at 3.9% in 2003 for 4 years. Just to keep my credit score high. A buyer who needs to finance more than 50% of a car purchase clearly is buying beyond their means. Insurance premiums FALL as vehicles become older. This is because collision claim benefits for replacement in the event of the vehicle being totalled decline as the car ages and depreciates. For the duration of a lease or loan comprehensive coverage stays high because the insurance company is covering the value of the vehicle to the lessor/ lienholder, which is fixed. Of course insurance premiums do increase for antiques or museum car based upon any increase in insured value. It's highly unlikely that any G35/ G37 owner will ever face that situation. |

Replying to: brodway (May 18, 2008 5:41 pm) I am convinced that the 5 year included maintenance BMW offer on their new cars is a result of owner issues like this. Anyway... I hope that my new G35x, when I get it, follows the same experience I've had with other Japanese manufacturers and it is reliably |

Replying to: athens (May 18, 2008 6:14 pm) Thats an absolutely silly thing to say. I bought my wifes car with only 20% down, but could have afforded to buy it for cash. The finance rate was 1.9%. I think i can do much better than that in the financial markets.

Replying to: athens (May 18, 2008 6:14 pm) Infiniti NA is offering 1.9% financing for 36 months/ 3.9% for 60 mos!!!!!!!!!!!! Where do you get your prices from? a 6 year old vehicle for 20k? You can ask, but you will never get a buyer. You will be lucky if you get $12k-$14k. If you are using Kelly Blue Book the prices that are reflected there are not accurate market values. Dealers use NADA which is a better indicator of market value and auction value of vehicles. I just ran an Edmunds valuation report on a 2003 G35 with most of the options available at the time without navigation, and the trade in value is under $13,000 with a private party sale of $14,000. That's a 5 year old vehicle. |

Replying to: sonofjay (May 18, 2008 7:09 pm) I'm not sure if these are the accurate lease and residual rates. Dwynne had posted rates earlier in the month, and his numbers were different than those posted in the link you provided. I'm inclined to believe that those rates posted by him are accurate because i confirmed the rates on the G35X with a couple dealers. G35 Journey: 24-69%-.00126 36-59%-.00150 39-58%-.00173 G35 6MT: 24-68%-.00126 36-58%-.00150 39-57%-.00173 G35 AWD: 24-70%-.00131 36-60%-.00150 39-59%-.00172 G37 Journey: 24-71%-.00184 36-61%-.00192 39-60%-.00190 G37 6MT 24-73%-.00184 36-62%-.00192 39-61%-.00190

Replying to: helices (May 18, 2008 5:53 pm) It's hard to figure out know without knowing the invoice price. (if it was old pricing or new pricing). But it looks like your money factors are off. http://ridewithg.whitecarrot.com/index.php/2008/05/may-2008-lease-rate-for-08-in- finiti-g35g37/ According to the link above your MF should be like those below and if they are no then the dealer must have marked them up. 2008 Infiniti G35 X Sedan 24 Month/12k miles/yr – Residual 71% of MSRP – .00131 Base Rate 36 Month/12k miles/yr – Residual 61% of MSRP – .00150 Base Rate Of course take what i say with a grain of salt as I just go into this forum 2 weeks ago and will be leasing for the first time shortly. |

Replying to: brodway (May 18, 2008 7:35 pm) Maybe I missed something..... but are these rates not he same as the ones on the page I linked to? I've looked at them again and they look the same to me. Unless I'm having a bad day the only difference I see are for the residuals which is expected as Dwynne's numbers are for 15k and the other were for 12k. I can edit the previous post easy enough to point to Dwynne's posted rates though.
