In recent memory (post internet) I can't recall vehicles softening so much as in today's market. Infiniti M, Civic, now the IS??? Are buyers waiting for special interest rates or huge discounts???
 
In today's USA today, Jesse Toprak (Edmunds employee) was quoted as saying customers are burned over gas prices. Months ago on the M35/M45 (not a compact sport) board, I posted gas mileage as an issue to sales. These compact sport sedans don't fair much better then SUVs, I often think most people do stretch for the monthly note on a car that's just out of their price range.
 
Anyone have Novembers numbers for vehicle sales? regardless of market niche (SUV, sport sedan, etc.) auto sales are not looking good going into the winter.

M35...yes, I believe mileage is a concern....it should be at least 3-4pg better than it is, with real world reports mostly around 18 mpg.
 
M45...No...Real World mixed MPG of ~18 is good for the performance and size of the vehicle.
 
Yes, real world reports have the 35 and 45 about the same...which is also what I experienced with my FX35 versus others FX45.

By December to Remember my goal of $2K from invoice ought to be met, maybe even $1500. Now, with a MF at .00165 or below and keeping the 3 yr/45K residual at 63%...then my fiance can really have a Dec to Rem!

Are you speculating on a money factor of 0.00165 or has this been offered to you? My understanding that the base rate for an IS is 0.00275 (with a solid credit rating).
