I feel similarly about my '07 and when the time comes am thinking of offering my dealer 5% over auction and I'll buy it back. They let Infiniti take the hit and pocket something. I might pay more in sales tax, but it will be much less than the lease buyout figure. Worth a try?

My '06 lease is up shortly and with all due respect I can't wait to give the car back. The dealer's service is incompetent, the management somewhat rude, and the car has defects that they can't (and won't) fix. Inifiniti customer service has proven to be dishonorable (make a compensation offer then retract it), and Nissan executive office lies and then changes their story.
 
Regarding end of lease, they do not negotiate off residual. They would rather take the car back and lose their shirt at the auction. My residual is $27K and the cars are going for under $15k at auction. There are too many out there to retain their value.

As of now, the auction value of M35/45 have increased magically. A 2006 M35 is going around $17K and M45 at around $19K at auction now (Sure there are some going a bit lower, but not by much if not with high mileage).
 
Also, if the condition is good, the dealer can normally get around $24-25K for M45 (Not sure about M35). So, if you can get them down to $24-25K, it will worth a try. That is, you like the car. There are a lot happy owners, but there are a few with bad experiences mainly due to the incompetent dealership, so it is time to move on unless you can find a much better dealer to take care of you locally.

I am moving on. I would never purchase or lease another Nissan/Infiniti product even though I sold Nissans for 5 years. The corporate parent is dishonest. I an also proceeding with legal action against them.
 
Although the experience with my dealer was unsatisfactory and the car itself still has problems, that doesn't mean many of you out there can't be happy with it.
 
That said, I just can't wait for my Audi to come in--ordered a 2010 A4.
 
I wish you all luck, but regarding residuals they will not negotiate at lease end...they get subsidized on the losses at auctions but not at retail.

I got a pre approved credit mailer ad with a $3000 loyalty to get a new M35 at 599/mo with only first payment plus tax on the m35 with technology. My out of pocket was $1000.00 including the $ 632 first month payment and I guess the tag fees. The dealer did not want to give me that price at first even with loyalty but they did when I showed them the mail ad. The Mrs loved the car for 39 months so we got a second one to be delivered in 15 days. They need to move these cars so IFS has a good lease factor until 6/1 .

I am looking for the May numbers for an M-35 with 15,000/mi at 36 or 39 months. I am a current M lessee now. I noticed in post 1775 that there was a special lease rate for current m owners. Is that still going on in May????
 
Thanks

I agree, my 2009 Audi A4 2.0 is as comfortable as the M35X (in front). It rides much better even with the sports suspension and 18" high performance summer tire package. Steers 1000% better and uses 30% less fuel. Rear seats fold down and the trunk is huge with seats up. Better speakers on their mid-line Symphony Radio.
 
2010 will be better with 3G Nav and rear LED taillights.
 
2006 M35X rode like a truck, drank gas like an SUV and steered like a cabin cruiser. Pepe Infiniti in White Plains, NY was great and replaced the steering rack,phone mic. and Nav under warranty.
 
Maybe the rear wheel drive version is better. The 7-speed will help the mileage.
 
The only Infiniti I would consider is the G37 sedan. The Audi A4 was more spacious so I went for it.
