Infiniti M35 / M45 Lease Questions

Even with states that require the tax payment upfront, you can still roll it in. The leasing bank pays the tax for you, and adds it to the CAP cost.
 
The state gets their money upfront and everyone is happy..

It beats the heck out of a quote I received yesterday from my dealer ... from whom I have leased two Infiniti's in the past.
 
Base M35 w/ Nav. MSRP ~ $47K. $2500 up front and $650/ month for 39 months! I'm at the tail end of my last lease on a 2006 M35 w/ Nav, Journey, Tech, and Aero ... MSRP $51K ... $2400 up front with the same monthly and that INCLUDES a $50/month "insurance policy" that covers a new set of tires at lease end, excess wear and tear and body dings, etc. On this thread I learned that my old lease wasn't such a bargain ... this new proposal is downright insulting. Oh, and it supposedly factors in a $2,000 Infiniti loyalty discount. Bart

That lease is far better than the one I was just quoted. Where is your dealer?

That's $1700 better up front than what I was just quoted for the base M w/ Nav. Same monthly. Bart

I've read this forum, and I've been in and out of here regularly for three years. Whoever posted that it's the total number of dollars involved, not how things are bundled or unbundled, is the true cost of the lease is pretty much right on. If you put $3600 up out front and pay $500 per month or nothing down and $600 per month your true cost is almost the same ... "almost" because you do lose the ability to earn interest on that $3600 for three years. At a generous 5% yield that's $540 over the term of the lease. When I lease I put the absolute minimum up front ... whatever's required by law ... taxes, tags, etc. And here in AZ the tags are ~ $750. Bart

use that money to make multiple security deposits if they are offered in your state and save money.
 
I would, however, like an explanation of the "multiple security deposits" strategy because it doesn't make sense to me as security deposits come back to you at the end of the lease and are nearly always waived here. Or maybe I'm missing a huge point here. Bart
