Still contemplating,
 
I've got an offer to buy a 2007 new m35 sport black and black with nav/ tech package for $40,000 (good deal)? or would I be able to get it lower. it would be financed with money down
The 2008 m35 would be a lease for 24 or 36 mth around 650 to 750 per month.
 
the 2008 m35 offers the nav tech package as well.
 
anyone suggestions.
is this a car for the long run or short run.
I see many of them seem to lease it and then return it.
is it better to lease or get get it financed and buy the car.
any suggestions or opinions would help.

The 2007 and 2008 are almost exactly the same car with some changes in the navigation system. Dealers are asking 34000 for 2006's that are back from lease.....so a 2007 is probably a 38000 car. If you are leasing, it doesn't matter which one you get...get the cheaper one (total cost not monthly cost). If you are considering purchasing at the end of the lease, get the 2008 car...and just forget the 2007 one.
 
I will bet that the 2008 actually leases for less total cost over the life of the lease than the 2007.....there is $1000 that infiniti throws in as a capital cost reduction....and I have no idea what the lease of a 2007 would be...if you get a quote, please post it here..I'd like to see the money factor and residual on a 2007 leased today.
 
Please Please focus on the total cost of the lease..not the monthly payments. Make no capital cost reduction of your own. Then compare the total costs.

If I were buying and planning to keep the car for a lonnnnnnnng time I would get the '07 because the cost is materially lower ... and significantly lower than the difference in model year value five or so years down the road. The '07 that you're describing is essentially the '06 I have that lists ~ $50K so you're getting ~ 20% off msrp. To make sense of the best option I would recommend looking at resale values of comparable cars five years old. The '07 and '08 are essentially identical cars so there's no upside to one v. the other ... with the exception of your amortized cost over the expected life of ownership. Bart

my M35 lease is up next month....My dealer gave me a 24 mo 12K lease quote of around $650 to lease the 08 M35/tech...about $75 more than my current payment. The residual on an M35 is now 62% on a 24 mos lease.
  
So I started to think about alternatives...after all, I leased the M for 24 mos because I like change. The 08 M35 is almost exactly like my 06 M (newer nav and a passenger seat that adjusts..that's it).

 
ghstudio: Seems you and I leased the same car in April of 2005 and are getting identical quotes now to move up. I'm frankly surprised that an M with a $4K lower msrp now (fewer options) and $2K loyalty bonus is going to cost me MORE than my current lease! My M hasn't hit 22K miles yet so there's a good chance I'll buy it off the lease rather than start anew. Bart

You should be able to do better. We just returned our 2006 M35x and leased a 2008 M35x with tech and xenons--$619/mo for 24 months, 15K miles, and 790 down (1st payment, and sales tax on $2000 loyalty cash), including NY sales tax in payment.

I'm in the same boat as you guys. My M35x lease is up at the end of June (well, it matures the first week of July, but the last payment will be made in a few weeks).
 
I did the 21 month lease and only have (yikes!) 14650 miles on the car. I hate to give it back, but the payoff is just too high as the residual was like 72% on the original lease and the MF was .00006. As a result, I have a really low monthly payment at $525/month.
 
Also, I've been getting the same story on leasing an '08 - around $100 or more per month. Ummm, I don't think so. Not to mention that I now have to add the Xenon Pkg and Tech package to keep most of the features that I have now, bringing the car to over $50k MSRP ...
 
With May's new MF, the price dropped around $30/month, but to be anywhere close to what I'm paying, a dealer would have to apply the $2000 loyalty back of invoice and then go another $1000 below invoice - so the net result would be a selling price/cap cost of $3000 below invoice. That would bring me in around $510/month, and I DOUBT that is gonna happen ...
 
Gonna go drive the G and look to be somewhere in the mid $400's - which CAN be possible ... I think.
