I know that the best MF was for two years but this is what we got on our lease. EX35 AWD Journey with Premium, wood, splash guards, and cargo protector. $2k Down (including first month, fees, others) and $452/mo (including the 3% monthly NC tax) for 39 months with 12k miles/year. Someone calculate this and tell me if it is a good,fair, terrible, or "Go Out and Shoot Yourself!" deal?

I started shopping for my new EX35 AWD Journey yesterday (March 31) about 3:30pm, and a couple hours later had a verbal deal on the phone which I'm very happy with --- $1500 under invoice. I signed the purchase contract and drove the car home later in the evening. The car has Premium and Navigation packages only. I think my deal was better than most other people will see for a while because: Yesterday was the last day of Infiniti's $2000 dealer incentive. Yesterday was last day of first quarter and I think of Infiniti's fiscal year. The dealer had the car in stock. AWD models are probably in lower demand in SoCal ... I go to the mountains and wanted it. This was an all cash purchase without financing, not a lease, and there was no trade in. I'm not sure how financing or leasing affects the purchase price, but it makes for easier and faster negotiating I think. There was no negotiation ... I told the salesperson I knew about the incentive and this was his first offer. I accepted it. On the phone and in person everyone at the dealer was very nice and a pleasure to deal with. A couple of hours earlier, I had received a quote for $2500 more than I paid from another dealer who did not have the car in stock. A couple of notes on options: I was on the fence about the Technology package but bought a car without it. Everyone with the Technology package seems to like the all-around video (my car only has rear video). However all EX's have front and side beepers to alert when an obstacle is too close, and this feature is a good substitute for the front and side videos. The Luxe Elite package includes 18" all season tires. Just for the record for anyone confused as I was: the standard 17" tires are all season as well. |

i finally completed my deal on 3/31. Got a EX35 with Navigation, Premium, Roof rails, splash guards, cargo protector for 1500.00 down 39mos 15k per yr 517 per month Unfortunately they refused to allow me to get the color combo I wanted since that would push the transaction into April? I settled for the exterior color I wanted but not the interior. I tried to take one off their lot with my preferences but it had an extra 1200.00 package. They came back with a monthly price over 600.00 for that which seemed ridiculous. All in all, they were fair and I am happy. The car drives great despite its shortcomings and I fell in love with it.

Replying to: pharmboy3 (Apr 01, 2008 6:36 pm) It looks like you got .... ummmm... about $300 below invoice, which is good. But, if I use the same 55% residual for 36 months (it should be 55 or 56 with 12k per year, so I'll use the lower for fun) and the correct .00101 MF, then you should have had a lease payment of roughly $10 less with the same money down. so they gave you a good cap cost, but they unnecessarily bumped you into a 39-month lease and gave you a higher interest rate. So they made more money on you on the backend while making it look like they were doing you a favor on the front end.

Replying to: darkangel335i (Mar 21, 2008 10:06 pm) I love the ride and the look but I am concerned that the inside is a little "tight" especially opening the rear doors they don't seem to open wide as other SUV's. I loved the ride compared to the FX35 but really concerned about being cramped.
