I agree with johninnj. Definitely don't use any equity that you built up in your 2004 G35 coupe as a down payment on the lease. You never want to put any money down on a lease including the taxes because if the car is totalled or stolen, you don't get of that money back. With a lease, the leasing company is the owner of record, not you so your insurance company will pay off the leasing company what is owed on the car. When you buy it's a different story because the insurance company will write you a check for the value of the car.
 
That being said, it sounds like you're getting $11,300 ($9000 loan payoff + $2300 cash) for your 2004 G35 coupe. Is that what the car is worth as a trade in? You need to confirm that first.
 
Then after that you need to verify the numbers going into the lease of the 2008 G37 so you can figure out if you got a good deal or not. You basically need 6 numbers to calculate your own lease payment, the MSRP of the car, the negotiated price (i.e. cap cost), length of the lease, money factor, residual percentage (i.e. what the car is worth at the end of the lease) and the tax rate. You should already know the length of the lease and the tax rate where you live. You'll see people on here ask for the money factor and residual percentage for specific lease terms (i.e. 39 months 12K miles per year, etc) on this forum because sometimes dealers are reluctant to give you that information. The money factor (i.e. interest rate) is usually tied to the length of the lease and the residual percentage is tied to the mileage allowance (i.e. 10K or 12K or 15K miles per year). To determine the residual value at the end of the lease you multiply the MSRP by the residual percentage. The MSRP you can get from the window sticker or from Edmunds and the negotiated price is whatever you negotiate with the dealer. Then you can use the lease calculator on Edmunds or on other websites to calculate the lease payment. The lease calculator on Edmunds might want other numbers to do the calulation but none of them are needed to calculate the payment for a no money down lease except any loyalty cash that Infiniti gives you towards the lease that will be treated as a down payment (i.e. cap cost reduction).
 
If you haven't read Edmunds article on "10 Steps to Leasing a New Car", you should definitely read it. Here's a link.

Hey, I see on the infiniti website they have G37's for 349.
 
How accurate is this.
 
I would assume they have to honor this. Yes?

Sure it you are willing to put $3043 down which is dumb thing to do on a lease. That $3043 does not include dealer doc fees and TTL.

Anybody have any idea about the current money factor for a 2008 G37 Journey coupe? I've gone back a few pages in the thread but am only seeing details about the 2009s. 10K & 12K miles

I am looking for the same as well. From what i can tell from edmunds 2008 G37 Journey retails for $28,801 typical options $4,135 total $32,936. If this is true do you think its possible to get it at $29,000 (2k below invoice) since its an 08?

The word I'm getting from my dealer, at least, is that they can't use the $2K+ in dealer incentives from Infiniti on a lease, so they're not able to get below invoice on a lease for the 08 I'm interested in.
 
The reason why I was asking about the money factor is because if they won't negotiate on the sale price of the car any further, I was hoping maybe there's some wiggle room with the MF.
 
The deal I'm being offered, by the way, is a 08 G37 Journey with Sport package. No navigation or premium, but it does include a sunroof, cargo net, auto lights, splash guards, rear spoiler, and trunk mat. Because they'd be bringing this car in from another dealership out of state, they're tacking on a $500 transportation fee. That brings their offer price to $37,798. He's said if I was buying rather than leasing, they could get that price down another $2500 or so, but he won't budge an inch on that price if I'm leasing. He's quoting me a MF of .00155 and Residual of 54% for a 12K/39m lease.
 
Any advice/input would be helpful, as I'm trying to decide what to do within the next couple of days.

That is correct. Been answered many times here.

For the record I wasn't inferring to any incentives, just simple negotiation.

How about the deal otherwise? $37,798 still seems high for an 08, even with those options installed and the delivery fee to get it in from the other dealership. I'm just amazed that he hasn't budged at all. Just to test the waters, I told him a couple of days ago that if he got the price to $37,000 (not even much lower, I just wanted to see if he'd move at all), I'd be in there this weekend to finalize the deal. Still nothing.
