I want to get as much info on the M35x as I can. Is better to lease now (Jan: $3000 dealer incentive; 2.9 financing) or should I wait until the dog days of February? Any rates/residuals/etc. for January would be appreciated also. Thanx for the input everyone!

can you really tell a huge difference with the 14 speaker system?

I moved from the 10 speaker Bose in an '06 M35x to the 14 speaker Bose in an '07 M35x (they put two surround speakers in the top of the two front seats, hence 4 more) and I have to admit that overall it sounds "better." However, it is all relative as generally the Infiniti sound system in the M35 does not sound very good. Only thing worse among cars I've driven was the Bose system in my '00 Audi A6 4.2 YMMV ... |

Hello everyone. I have an '06 M45 Sport leased through Infiniti Financial. My 21 month lease ends in June but I am at the limit of my miles. I figure it will cost me about $1.5k in mileage penalties if I keep driving at the same rate between now and then. I got decent price on another vehicle (not a Infiniti) so I am considering a trade-in. According to the computer voice of Infiniti Financial, my payoff is $38.6k until 2/14. We just moved things around here at the house so I can't find my lease paperwork. As I negotiate the deal for the new car, I am using the payoff as my benchmark but I am concerned that there will be some early termination fee or similar. Is there such a thing? Is there anything I need to watch out for? Or am I making a bid deal out of nothing? Thanks so much.

Replying to: seanookie (Jan 20, 2008 2:16 pm) My experience has been with trading an Infiniti on a new Infiniti and prior to end-of-lease like you ... YMMV, but it seemed just like trading any other car with a remaining balance on the loan. |

I've been looking at the 07 M35's that are remaining on the lot. The dealer has approx 15 remaining. The sales gal said that they are offering $5,000 off the MSRP to move the cars. The one I'm looking at is a base model with the journey package with a sticker around $43,500. With the discount that brings the car down around $38,500. I'm hoping to lease one on a 24 or 36 month lease with around $4,000 down and under $400/mo. Is this a realistic expectation? It will actually be my company leasing the car so credit shouldn't be any issue. |

From an earlier post, you may remember i have a lease on a 2006 M35x that expires 3-4-08. That means i will be turning it in to lease another one within a few weeks. I got a call that the #'s quoted to me in January had gone down, and they said to come in and discuss. I got the following quote (after some negotiation): $2000 down consisting of: $243 cap cost reduction doc fee - 299 sales tax  6% - 68 first pmt $678 acq. fee $595 Lic. fee $110 The MSRP was $49025 Gross cap cost $45876 cap cost reduct-$243 Adj cap cost - $45,632 Residual$24,518 This results in 39 base payments of $639.62 plus monthly sales tax of $38.38 for a total monthly payment of $678. The lease would be for 18M miles annually for 39 months. I then asked to see the invoice - it showed $44,168 plus & 715 dest fee for total of $44883. So - my question: Is this okay , or should i be able to do better? Am i paying $1000 or $1700 (when you consider the destination fee) over invoice. I don't think i can squeeze more out of them - should i be able to? Thanks in advance for your help.

| I'm not sure you can squeeze any more out of them...but 1) get rid of that capital cost reduction up front, even though it's small and 2) consider making up to 7 multiple security deposits which will bring your money factor down and probably reduce your monthly payments by $40 a month. remember, you get those extra security deposits back at the end of the lease....it's not a capital cost reduction. | |
