Well the MSRP for Altima Coupe 3.5SE w/ Premium and Technology Pkg. is $31,395 (~29K invoice) NOT 37,395. Base on residual, the monthly payment is about 350 (depreciation fee) + interest. I think, for the Altima, the payment may be around low 400 and, for the G, the payment might be around high 400 to low 500.
 
You need to go to the dealer to get the rate for the coupe, you cannot use the rate for the sedan. For the G, the rate for the coupe is usually better than the sedan.

Well, THAT sounds better! Thanks for the clarification. I see that my spreadsheet was doublecounting the MSRP before and after options. I double-checked the lease rate and residual and they look right, so I'm looking at $428 per month based on negotiated cap cost of $29K for 36-month lease 12K miles per yr.
 
That makes more sense, since I show the Infiniti coming in at about $100 per month more even with a better lease rate and slightly higher residual.
 
So...given the current incentives, does invoice price seem a realistic place to land as far as final cap cost or should I be pushing for more given end-of-quarter, end-of incentives, etc?

Because there's no incentive on both cars, invoice is a good price IMO.
 
If money is tight and you can live w/ the Altima, I think the base Altima 3.5 (invoice ~24.3K) is a good choice because the payment will be a lot lower.

Can I make a suggestion here? Just go to the Nissan and Infiniti dealers and get the numbers worked up so you can quit speculating on price.
 
But let's say the numbers are approximately $400 and $550. Who cares? Just get the G37. If a $150 matters then I would say you can't really afford either.
 
When I saw the Altima coupe at the LA Auto Show, I was blown away, thought it was awesome. Lately I've been seeing it on the road and have fallen way out of love with it. I really think the G37 looks fantastic though. All your numbers aside, you've got to add some major weight to what you really want.

I was wondering why? I realize that everyone has their own personal preferences, and thats OK. But, if you liked it earlier, what changed your mind?
 
Just wondering...

IMHO, The Coupe has a Chev Monte Carlo look to it (that's my wife's comment, which I now can't get out of my head )
 
The fact that the sedan version looks so avant-garde tasty, has double the trunk space and a real back seat takes away whatever "sportiness" the coupe tries to flaunt.

Even though I have an 08 sedan, which I really like, I also noticed that the coupe has a "bloated" look to me when viewed at certain side angles. But, like they say, different strokes for different folks!

I think it's the rear 3/4 view. I don't know, it just started looking really weird to me.
