Infiniti has a lease special of $299/month lease for 39 months ,10k miles per year , down payment is $2999. Total first month payment is $2999+$299=$3298 . All this info from Infiniti's website. :shades:
Here's the link :

This is for well qualified buyers. So, what is the catch here? What are the chances of getting this deal - $299/month ? I have never leased before and have read info on these forums about money factor,residuals ,cap etc. Still, not totally familiar with it . :confuse:
My credit is good - last time I checked it was 760+ . So dont know if it is excellent or very good for Infiniti's lease needs . But is this lease deal feasible at all ? The lease deal ends on 01/03/2012. So , if this deal is doable, I will be pulling the trigger !! Thanks !
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
In regards to the advertised lease that you mentioned, assuming that your credit is in good shape and you are getting a similarly equipped vehicle I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to beat it. Manufacturers' official advertised lease payments often leave a little meat on the bone so to speak. It makes sense if one thinks about it, if manufacturers advertised the thinnest possible deal on a vehicle their dealers would probably be pretty annoyed.

What are the December residual and money factor rates for a 2011 G25x Sedan?
i am planning to lease a g25x AWD with premium package and I was given a quote of 369+tax, 0 down in NY (title and reg excluded). After reading the forums I feel this is not a good deal. Can you please post the MF, residual & MSARAP/invoice for this car? Thanks so much.

If I was in the market for this car right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of around a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice. you can find the invoice price of the exact car that you are interested in over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.
Just a heads-up, a week or so ago Infiniti introduced a special "conquest" incentive on the G25 that provides a $1,000 cash incentive to current owners and lessees of any non-Infiniti vehicle.

I was wondering if there are any incentives on the g25. My car situation has changed, so I may be looking at this car again towards the end of May.

There is a $1,250 cash incentive on leases of this car right now.

Thank you.
I see they also have a lease incentive of $1250?
what kind of selling price would I shoot for on this car?
So with the information listed above, I'm very torn about what to do.
My options are to lease a g25x, with intent to purchase at the end of the lease when I get a more permanent job and much better income (finishing med education career). My wife and I really do prefer the infiniti over the VW option. Added that the 1st year costs would be less since I won't be putting a down payment. Negatives are the insurance cost is higher and the fuel use is higher as well.
My other option is to purchase a 2012 jetta (tdi or gli, most likely). Which is also a good drive, but the lack of quality of the interior build construction really worries about. I've read a lot about a lot of rattles, pieces not fitting properly and the headliner breaking in the car. All this makes me wonder if I really want to deal those problems. Positives are that its a fun car to drive, its more economical and we would outright own the car. I do have doubts about the longevity of the car as well. It gets rated very poorly by JD power and Consumer reports
Any advice?
I'm sure this could change somewhat if I go in to haggle, sign a lease.
But Given a price of $322/month. RV of 57%, MF = 0.000014, Cap cost = 33,800 (supposedly including the $1250 incentive). 39/12k.
I'm looking at things at both short term and long term.
By my calculations, my cost for the infiniti would be $9k next year, versus putting $11k towards the GLI. Difference of about $2k.
Long term the jetta is much cheaper to own. But after year 1, I do expect my income to improve. Not sure I'll be happy long term with the jetta.
The Jetta feels like the sounder/safer choice.

The numbers I could find for the GLI in April for 36/15k, I think would put me in the ~340-350 price range/month (with NY taxes). [Big assumption I did my math right. Using Invoice as cap cost, 0.00048, 52%).
I think it would be cheaper, but not sure by how much though over the infiniti.
Leasing is alternative method of financing. If you are shopping for a certain car that you can afford to buy, but the lease deal is too good to pass up, then it makes sense to lease. Or, if the long-term reliability is an issue, then leasing also makes sense.
But, if you can't afford to buy a vehicle, then leasing with the intention to buy later when your income increases is a risky proposition. I could cite hundreds of posts, where life circumstances have changed, mileage driven increases, etc, etc.. Now, that doesn't preclude leasing... but, if you lease a car that you can afford to purchase, then over-mileage charges, etc.. can be handled within your budget. If you max out your car buying power on a lease payment, you have nowhere to go, if circumstances change and move against you.
To sum up (lol), don't lease a car that you wouldn't feel financially comfortable purchasing today. Better to buy or lease a cheaper car within your budget, then make those decisions, once that income increase has already happened.
So.. I'd vote for the Jetta.... and, if long-term reliability issues are a concern, then lease it.
(and, my wife has a G-sedan... not that big of an upgrade to make it worth the price, IMO)

I personally think that the Jetta is a pretty nice car. Plus I always tend to err on the side of being conservative with my finances. If I was in your shoes, I personally would probably finance or lease a Jetta and wait ti get something more expensive until I had more permanent employment. Having said that, there's nothing wrong with getting a G25 if you can swing it.

We ended up purchasing a jetta GLI today. Very happy with the car so far. First car purchase. Got what I thought was an amazing deal around $600 below invoice with dest included.
As much as we loved the g25x, leasing a car when we have at least 1 move, more likely 2 in the next 2 years didn't make much sense. Plus we really couldn't look at the g25x as a car we could purchase otherwise.

MSRP: 37,954
Selling Price: 33,977 (Does not include sales tax, reg. fees, or dealer fees)
$289/month - 39 mos - 10,000 miles/yr, and $1,000 cash or trade down option. Fees, 1st payment, sales tax due at signing.
Does this seem like a good deal?
Thanks!
please tell me the current money factor and residual for a 2012 G25x with moonroof. 36 or 39 months, 12k miles
The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00014 and 56%.

Infiniti Financial Services' July buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2012 G25 Journey with 12,000 miles per year are .00001 and 69%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

G25X
MSRP 37295
SALE PRICE 32876
18 mo. 12k/yr
RESIDUAL 29240
1000 negative equity from trade rolled in
1299 down (first, 700 aqui, 125 doc fee, another 125 fee)
$281 plus tax
Hope all is well, i currently had an offer which is shown below and went for it, however, after reviewing the actual contract, i noticed the numbers dont seem to be the same as to what was negotiated at first... During negotiation, salesman provided me a 71% residual value and a .00027 money factor based on the deal below. When i reviewed the contract, the residual was at 80% and money factor at .00093. During negotiation process, the 700 acquisition should have been included in the negotiation price shown below yet it was added on to the neg. price listed on the contract. They also added sales tax into the negotiation price which was agreed upon to be included in my monthly not paid upfront. Because of these additions, my cap cost increased.
Overall i still think i got a good deal as the advertised lease special for July was 249/month. less than the national advertisement of 289/month. Anyways, could you tell me if i still recieved a good deal on the lease? It is listed below
2012 g25x black on black with moonroof
359 a month (tax should be included in this)
12k/yr
18months
1056 upfront fees but this went to the first month, doc fees, and title, license, registration fees.
still good deal?

2012 G25 awd with 15,000 miles per year. This is what dealer proposed:
MSRP $38,095
Neg Cap $34,289
Appears to be a 80% residual
MF appears around .00027
$1493.75 down incl 1st payment Base payment $325.86 + tax 22.81= $348.67
Seems reasonable for 15,000 miles, my calculations seem only $10 or so less a month.
Thanks, Jack
The dealer invoice price of this car is $35,297. If we subtract the $1,000 cash incentive that Infiniti is providing on leases of it from that it drops to $34,297. That's almost exactly the price that you were quoted, so you are getting a very good deal.
Just make sure that the dealer uses Infiniti Financial Services' current 36-month buy rate lease money factor of .00010 (top credit tier) to calculate your payment and you're in business.
