I am contemplating leasing a 2008 M-35X, AWD, MSRP $50,835.
 
The deal they are offering is $4,500 down, 12K , $515.81 a month
 
RESIDUAL $24,400
RATE 2%
 
I am in Massachusetts. Should I jump into the fire??

how long is the lease? What is the "captalized cost" (what you negotiated them down to? what is the administrative fee? do these numbers include taxes?
 
Infiniti's money factor this month is .00002...that's not 2%, it's closer to 0 percent. Also the residual you show is 48% of the MSRP but there is no infiniti lease that has a 48% residual, so one has to wonder about this lease deal. See post 1655 for the actual infiniti rates this month (and they are national rates).
 
You shouldn't put any money down....in fact you should sit down and read most of this forum before you jump in and lease. There's lots of information if you just take the time to read thru it.
 
I did a quick calculation based on a 36 month lease using Infiniti's real numbers, a presumed negotiated price about $1000 over invoice and your large down payment and the payment seems right (without taxes). But the fact that the dealer is using different MF and residuals really bothers me alot.

I have read a lot of the forum. That prompted me to ask the questions!! The lease is for 39 months and it includes all taxes and fees. No other costs are associated with leasing the vehicle. I have emailed the dealer to ask what the capitalized cost is as I'm not sure they ever told me!! I have also asked if there were any administrative fees but I remember them telling me that $4,500 is all I would have to put down...not other costs. The reason I would be putting money down is because I have it right now to use and would like to keep my payments over the next 39 months reasonable.(God knows what they will bring!!) I also read post 1655 and many of the posts before that, after that, and also posts on the non-lease pages. It is very informative but sometimes difficult to understand as this would be my first lease and I don't know much about leasing. (A newbie ! ) However, I am making sense of it all after much reading. You are a tremendous resource and much appreciated. When I get the rest of my answers I will post again. Thanks for your response!!

Keep that down payment in a bank....and use it each month to pay the larger payments. The reason for this is if you total the car, you will lose all of the down payment. If you don't make the downpayment, the gap insurance provided by Infiniti will pay any difference. Hopefully, it won't happen to you...but it is a risk.

Lease End Buy Out by chantelleb

Okay, I am new to post on the forum. I have an 2007 M35 that has a lease ending this weekend. We were set to let it go then we got an email from Infiniti with a customer loyalty fee reduction $5500 to buy out the car, below what we had on original invoice for lease buy out.
(We kind of did not make the best choices when leasing initially...First time leasor!)
 
Once we called the dealership, they kind of gave us the run around on the final fee, then told us it would be $25,500, with a doc fee of $150, a $400 late fee for late lease return (which contract is not officially up until the 28th)...not sure where this comes from.
I called more than twice to confirm the date we had to have back.
Any thoughts as to if this seems fair?
 
Not sure what all info you need.
Also are there any other incentives for lease purchase?
How about any deals on finance rates?
Thank you -
I need help on this one. The car thing is stumping me this time!

late lease return makes no sense....call infiniti finance directly....
 
I don't know of any other deals on lease purchase or on finance rates.

Hi laidbackusa. Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2008 Infiniti M35 with 15,000 miles per year are .00009 and 47%, respectively.

Hi Car_Man:
 
Now I'm slightly confused - ghstudio had the MF from IFS on all leases over 2 years was 0.00002 - I am going to the dealer this weekend to negotiate a lease. What are your figures for a 2008 M35 lease for 39 mos. and 12,000 miles per year as far as residual and MF. Also what is your favorite lease payment calculator? I am having many different results from different sites.
 
Thanks
Stu

no...I said that the rates on the M35x were .00002....rates and residuals vary by model and lease length.

Hello Chantelle,
 
I leased an M45 which is due for maturity in October and here are my experiences:
 
1. Infiniti charges the late fees after either 1 week or 10 days after the maturity date. That is the grace period they allow.
 
2. If you call IFS (Infiniti Fin. Serv.), the CSR/supervisor has the authority to extend the lease by at least 3 months, up to 6 months.
 
3. If possible, could you please forward the e-mail that you have received from Infiniti regarding the discount they are offering. I could possibly use that e-mail to negotiate the purchase mine. My e-mail is septcargmail.com
 
Thanks
