Lease it, pay your 700-750 / month and let your 6K investment return offset the cost. |

Car_man, can you post the current money factor and residual for the 2WD QX56 with DVD player for a 3 year/12.000 mile per year lease? Thank you

I'm going to get a qx56 next week and am trying to get an estimate on monthly payment. It is a 39 month lease with 12000 miles per year and the first month payment at signing. The dealership quoted me $845 a month for a $53113 msrp with destination and document fees and 6.3% sales tax. My figures came to be around $740. Now, am I totally off on my figures or is this dealership trying to screw me or is the finance person an idiot? The salesman I'm dealing with told me this finance person is the "guru" of leasing and can answer all questions. When I confronted her about my figures and hers not jiving, she called me back and said someone else will try to get the numbers correct. Also, I've called 8 different dealerships and asked if it is absolutly impairative to use 91 octane fuel. Seven said it will only reduce performance, but will not hurt the motor at all, one even said their dealership only uses 87 octane on all their Infinitis. The one that said no made it very clear on not using it. I even called Infiniti and they said the owners manual says 91, but 87 is ok. I work at a c-store that only has 87 octane and I get a discount on fuel, thus the problem. Should I get something in writing stating that the dealership said it was ok to use the 87 octane? I will put 91 anytime I'm out of town, but never while fueling in my town.

Replying to: casy76 (Mar 13, 2008 6:45 pm) As for the fuel requirement...we owned an '01 Pathfinder before the QX. It too had the same "premium fuel recommended for best performance" stickers. We put premium in it for several years until gas prices got really high. I switched it over to regular w/out telling my wife. She never noticed a change in performance nor did our mileage change. So it was obvious that 87 octane was a-ok for the Pathfinder. We just got a QX and we'll be putting premium in it for at least the first several years (unless premium prices go waaay up compared to regular) since we tend to hold onto our vehicles for several years. Since you're planning to lease, I'm not sure why you would spend the extra $$$$ in gas for a vehicle that you don't plan on keeping for a long time. Infiniti will not be able to "gig" you for not using premium since they do not require it. It is merely "recommended".... |

Replying to: casy76 (Mar 13, 2008 6:45 pm) Waaayyy off. The March deals just got better. I just picked up an 08 QX last Saturday with a $59,210 sticker. 39 months, 10K miles a year, $0 down for $660 plus 5% MA sales tax. After I bought the truck, another dealer told called me and told me he could do $630, but I already signed. Your 12K might add a point or two to the residual, but shouldn't affect the payment by much. Remember, no matter what they tell you...they ARE NOT selling these trucks. It is very slow right now, especially with $4 gas coming soon. I just filled up today---$80.00 Good luck! |

I posted previously about squirming between purchase of a like new '07 QX56 and a new one. I purchased a new QX56 this week-end. After what seemed like a weekend of Sundays the dealer quoted $49,450 for a 2WD with options that totaled $56500.00. I would not buy all of the dealer add on , paint treatment, special tire inflation, leather treatment etc. The final price was after the $1500 incentive. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ANOTHER $500-1500 BUT MY WIFE STARTED TO SEE AN UGLY SIDE OF ME. Nice truck and so far, no buyers remorse. Maybe it is too soon, but I knew what I wanted to pay , around $48,000, W/O the entertainment package. I got the package and some other minor stuff for the above price, Oh well ! By the way, I had another dealer offer me a used '08, similalrly equipped for $48,000.00

Replying to: benbo (Mar 16, 2008 5:57 pm) What colors? It sounds like you got a 2wd w/out DVD or the Tech package, correct? That is why I don't bring my wife to the negotiating sessions. First off, she does not want to deal with the shenanigans, but second, she knows that I can start copping my "Jersey attitude"  if I get ticked off at something/somebody. Thankfully, I had a great dealer who moved quickly on their price and got me where I wanted to be. I too left a couple hundred dollars on the table, but it was not worth the effort to get such a tiny amount of $$$ compared to the total purchase price. Congrats again! |

I bought a 2WD black with black interior WITH the entertainment package and a few other options. I am satisfied, my wife is happy and there are more important matters in the world other than haggling with a salesperson about a $1000.00 more or less. I am quite sure that I am going to enjoy it the few times my wife lets me behind the wheel. This web-site was quite helpful and I felt comfortable locking onto a price and not budging

Congratulations benbo enjoy your new purchase. I tried to get the QX without DVD but very hard to find. Felt DVD not worth the price. We have a stone interior which can get very dirty, I try to wipe it down on the weekends. Had to buy carpet mats as the 2nd and 3rd row seat carpets can get destroyed. I only drive the SUV on the weekends as this is the wife's vehicle. Current gas mileage about 11mpg, suspect it will improve as the engine breaks in.
