If any of you own either of the cars itd be great if you could share any offroad/snow experiences youve had with them. Im looking at buying one or the other, and i want one that handles great, but it still somewhat rugged and can do some light offroading (ive been to bmw driving school in spartanburg, and i know that the x5's are pretty capable vehicles)...im just not sure of how they compare to the infiniti fx45...?
Thanks so much
IFS' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 EX35 AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00049 and 69%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00101 and 57%. Again the 12,000 mile per year residual values are 1% higher.

Currently I am leasing a 2006 FX35. The lease ends in September 2009. I want to get the new 2009 FX35 in June 2008. Do you think I can ask Infiniti FInancial to absorb my current lease so I can go ahead and get the new FX in June. Also, I prefer to pay cash for the car and drive off. Does that matter? Can I push Infiniti to let me go off my current lease?
I also have a second question: Can I negotiate with the dealer a price under MSRP for the new FX35? What should I shoot for?
Thanks in advance.
08 FX35 AWD, Sticker $42,700, $3K Trade + Dealer Incentives, 39 month w/15K per year $453 per month including tax, $23K buyout at end of lease
Any input would be appreciated. Also wondering if there is lease pricing out there for the 09 model
In order to do so, you need to purchase the vehicle that you are currently leasing from the bank that you are leasing it through. It often turns out that it costs more to do so than your vehicle is worth on the open market. Furthermore, many banks expect consumers who end their leases early to still make all, or at least the depreciation portion of their remaining lease payments. As you can see, this can get very expensive.
You can determine approximately how much it will cost you to get out of your current lease by comparing its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. You should place a call to the bank that you are leasing your vehicle through to find out its exact price. Once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values". Don't forget to check to see if you are still on the hook for your remaining lease payments. The difference between your leased vehicle's current value and how much it will cost you to buy it plus any remaining lease payments that you are obligated to pay will equal the cost of getting out of your lease right now. You may find that you are better off waiting until you are closer to the scheduled end of your lease to get another new vehicle.

Also, I see that you are considering trading in your current vehicle when you lease your new one. there's nothing wrong with doing so, but it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for it rather than using the proceeds from your deal as a down payment for your lease. I always advise consumers against making large down payments on leased vehicles. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, you will be much safer with a zero down lease.

Looking at the following spec for $41K
Hands free
Touring
ipod
Sport
AWD
Thanks!!
FX35 RWD, Sheer Platinum, Handsfree, Touring, Sport, Tech, Ipod with 15K for 39 months. MSRP was just over 48K. I had 2,000 loyalty incentive.
620 per month with only 1st month's payment out of pocket.
My salesperson was great to work with and I'm sure with the '09 right around the corner the deals will continue to flow. If you need contact info please feel free to message me.

Thank you for all of the great information you provide. Just wanted to find out if you have the June residual and money factor for 2008 FX 35 on a 39month lease (12K).
Touring pkg
Hands-free
Tech pkg
iPod.
Thanks!
What do you think of this deal?
MSRP: $43,020 (hands free, touring, ipod, etc.)
Selling price: $38,200
TOP: $2,524 (NY taxes, 1st mo, bank fee) + DMV
Term: 39 months
Miles: 10k/year
Monthly pmt: $405.00
I think it is a pretty good deal, but still am unsure whether the M35x (which I like more and has an MSRP of $45,675) is worth $75/month more than the FX35. I am not eligible for the loyalty rebate (only the conquest rebate). I don't know if there is any room left on the price, although I am still actively negotiating.
Any insight would be appreciated.

I just got a 3 yr lease, 12K/yr, touring package, hands free package, ipod hook up, roof rail, splash guards, MSRP, $43050
$480/mo including tax, $2600 total out of pocket including inception, motor vehicle and first mo.
08 FX35 AWD, sport, touring, tech, handsfree.
12k miles year, 39 months
$550 month ($0 down) ~$1500 due at inception
Think I can get it lower? thanks for any input.
In any event, I think I am going to pull the trigger this weekend. The terms of the deal offered are:
MSRP: $43,020 (hands free, touring, ipod, etc.)
Selling price: $38,200
TOP: $2,524 (NY taxes, 1st mo, bank fee) + DMV
Term: 39 months
Miles: 10k/year
Monthly pmt: $405.00
I am still trying to negotiate the dealer to pick up part or all of my last lease payment on my current lease.
Please let me know what you think.
The used FX45s should drop in price even more after the new FX is released & it looks like the new FX35 will be quicker than the old fx45?
Yes I am not sure but probably the new fx35 will be faster than the old fx45.
Can you adjust the height in the FX?
I wonder where is all the fx buyers. I would like to know how comfortable is the FX compare to the x5 x6 cayenne ML and especially the lexus RX.
39 months - 12k miles per year
$2,900 due at signing (taxes, fees, etc - I've been told no cap cost reduction) (NY state)
$395 per month
I hounded the dealer for a while, and was very happy with this.
:shades:
I recently locked in a similar deal. Similar packages (MSRP $43,020), with TOP about $2500 (inclusive of taxes and all fees), with a monthly payment of $405.
Which dealer in NY did you use?
However, this was based on the loyalty rebate of $2k, which the dealer now is saying he can not get since my name is not on the current infiniti which my family owns.
Is your $405 with the loyalty? If not, which dealer? I am back on the hunt!!!
My deal included the $1k conquest rebate (not the $2k loyalty). I took delivery last night from Competition Infiniti in St. James/Smithtown. They were great to deal with and delivered the car last night to my home in Nassau County.
I dealt with the internet manager, Fritz Jean, who was a real pleasure to work with.
Good luck!
The deal you mention sounds very reasonable, especially if its a 12K/yr 39mo lease?
How bad are the initial lease deals on '09s?
Mf was 0.00095, residual was 66% on a 24/12 lease. If anyone in Chicagoland is looking for one of these let me know, I'll tell you who is dealing. If you check dealer inventory it's pretty obvious.
My lease is almost up on my 2006 FX 35 and I am going to lease a 2009 FX 35. What is the money factor and residual percentage for a 39 and 24 month lease?
Love this site. Thanks for your help.
>dealing. If you check dealer inventory it's pretty obvious.
Hi, I am looking for F35 lease for my girlfriend, please send me information.
Calculating the amount of a monthly car lease payment is very easy, just look it up on the web. Don't forget to add sales taxes and other fees into the cap cost. You should not be talking monthly payments until you negotiate cap costs. Then you figure out what the captive lease rates are (i.e. the money factor and residuals offered by Infiniti Leasing Corp) and the math follows from there. Good luck.
