If you are going to lease, absolutely add Audi Care. It will add 1% to the residual value. This virtually eliminates the additional $550 cost. In my deal, my payment actually went down $0.30/month by adding AudiCare. Now I don't have to pay $100-$150 at the scheduled maintenace intervals.

Something to consider is that you have to pay for the fourth year of registration for only 3 months of use. May or may not be a factor for you, but that equates to several hundred dollars.

Good point. I just had to do that for my 39 month Mercedes Lease. Although it was only $49.50 for New Jersey.

I've been reading some messages about the extra three months on the infiniti fx35 lease forum made by exaudiowner, see if his reasoning against it makes sense to you.

I've read it and I don't think that he is correct.
 
Let's take a scenario and run it.
 
MSRP 60,000
Selling Price 58000
MF 0.00125
Residual Value 55%
Taxes 7%
 
Let's say the residual value is the same for 36 months and 39 months. This is the way it was on my current lease.
 
From Lease Calculator
 
For 36 month lease, the monthly payment would be $864.76. Let's assume that all of the upfront fees are the same, in this case $0. 36 $864.76 payments = $31,131.36 total cost of the lease.
 
For a 39 month lease, the montly payment would be $807.61. 39 $807.61 payments = $31,496.79
 
You are payment a little more in total payments because you are using their money for 39 months instead of 36 months.
 
The depreciation cost is the same. You are paying it over 39 months instead of 36, so the payment is lower, but you make more payments.
 
If the residual value is much lower on a 39 vs 36, then you have the analyze the two and see which is better.
 
This scenario costs you $365 over 39 months to have a payment that is $57/month lower.

I agree, thats the way I look at it.
 
Do you know if I should be paying both the Destination Charge and the Acquisition (Bank) Fees, or just one of them? Should this fee(s) be capitalized as a part of my Net Cap, or paid up front?
 
Please look at my numbers that I got from the dealer yesterday:

The dealer said he's charging me $300 over invoice, yet the Net Cap includes the Tax amount...
 
I also have the right to give them multiple security deposits to reduce my MF ?

I do believe that the adjusted cap cost includes the taxes. I'm unsure about what fees are capitalized.
 
As for the MSDs, they should be allowed but check on their program. For instance, a Mercedes dealer told me that for them, MSDs reduce their base money factor. If MB Financial is offering a subsidized money factor, MSDs do not lower the subsidized rate, making them a non-factor.
 
I know for sure that BMW and Audi allow for MSDs to reduce whatever the rate they offering.

Apparently NJ taxes can be paid up-front instead which is what I am planning to do so they don't get capitalized. However.. I test drove the Mercedes ML 350 today and fell in love with it. I think I may be getting really good offers on the FX though, so only if Merc can match it..
 
Could someone please post the current money factor and residuals on the ML, I checked the M forum but its dead.

The ML is a beautiful looking car. The fit and finish isn't as good as Audi. The deal breaker for me, though, is the God Awful COMAND interface. Make sure you test out the navigation system and all of it's functions. To me, it was so bad that it took the ML out of the running.
