Infiniti rip off by jccoop

I had a M35 that was in a accident and was totaled. I leased it from infiniti and I put down a $4000 deposit to lower the cap cost. When I called to talk to them about the payoff I found out that they were to keep all the money from my insurance and they wanted my deductable on top of that of $1000. I had negotiated a great price on the vehicle and was using the lease as a way to finance the vehicle cheaper the doing a regular loan. So I call up infiniti to get a payoff so I could pay them off and then let the insurance pay me. They said that by law they don't have to sell me the vehicle. At this point the infiniti rep became very rude and I ended the conversation. So the just of it is that I agreed to pay $45000 for my infiniti and put down $4000. I paid $7320 in payments. My insurance company is going to pay them $39000 and they want another $1000 from me. This works out to me paying $6320 in interest to infiniti on $41000 owed for one year. That works out to an interest rate of 15% when I was supposed to be getting about a 3% special financing rate. So for one year I I just purchased another infiniti and am now wishing I would have got something else because of the horrible customer service. If you get an infiniti don't deal with nissan or infiniti finance. Also if you lease don't put any money down. Because if your car is totaled. That money is gone. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am having my lawyer look at it to see what he can do.

The interesting question here is if jccoop had used that $4000 as multiple security deposits (which he should have done), how would this be handled. I should probably read my lease.

This is exactly why you never put $ down on a lease! If the car is totaled or stolen your insurance company pays what it is deemed to be worth. The gap insurance (provided in the lease) makes up any difference. You are not refunded any down payment unless there is equity in the car (very rare). If you had not put the 4000.00 down your car still would have been paid off, and you could walk away scott free.

Yeah, you can't blame infiniti for that, it's your own fault. The extra money you put down on a lease to lower the monthly payment is gone if the car is totaled.

What happens to multiple security deposits if you total the car?

I'm not sure about security deposits when your lease is totaled out. But I'm thinking you'd get them back.

That is a great question... We all know what happens when you make a large cap cost reduction... it's gone...
 
Common sense tells you that you'd get your security deposit money back, but I've found that banks and insurance companies don't pay a lot of attention to common sense, especially if it might cost them money.
 
As of yet, we still haven't heard from anyone who has made MSDs and then totaled their vehicle.

When I got mine, I asked specifically what happens to my MSD if the car is stolen or totalled. The dealer verified with IFS and told me you LOSE your MSD as well as your cap reduction. The IFS guy said on the speaker phone to me "you get your MSD back if you return the car. If its gone or totalled, you are not returning it, are you?"
