Getting $1,235. from a trade-in towards down payment plus they wanted additional $850. for 1st mth. & tag transfer. Total $2,085 down
$639. mth.+ tax for 39 mths. 12K miles a year
Is the monthly payment is to high?
Looking to do something by the end of the month
I haven't seen any without additional options, so I need to calculate my payment off the $50K price right?
Was not sure with putting $2100 down (inc. 1st mth & DMV)
if $639.+tax is too high of a monthly payment.
Thanks for the help
Not sure what you mean by "Haven't seen any without additional options......". If the MSRP is $50,0000 on the car, you should be looking to negotiate that price down to about $45,500 to $46,000 - 8.5% to 10.0% off MSRP, that's where dealers are dealing these days....some may go even lower, but I can't confirm that. That would be a good base price to work with. Then you need to shop around for the dealer that gives you the best residual value on a comparable vehicle. That will directly affect your lease payment. So if you have good credit, i think that a $50,000 MSRP car can be had for mid $500's per month plus taxes. Your $640 + taxes appears to high if you have good credit.
Hope this helps!

Window Sticker price is: $47,225
Invoice is: $43,679 and cost $43,920 with the added wheel locks, and nitro fill not requested by me, comes as part of the car in stock)
My cost would be $43,920 for the vehicle and the factory money factor.
Lease price would be 39 months, 12k miles per year,
With $1500 + dmv it would be $519+tax per month ($555 with tax)
So $43,920 to buy, or $519 a month with $1500 down for inception and dealer fees.
Better deals still out there? :confuse:
Are you haggling with the same dealership? You need to line up a couple quotes and get them to bid against each other. You can't work one person down enough negotiating with them exclusively. Also, They won't let a deal walk for a couple hundo especially when they are still at or around their advertised "invoice". You're likely not going to get another grand more as you've worked it now for a while unless youre willing to start bringing in a couple more parties and string this process out a bit. You gotta ask yourself how much more time and effort is that extra 4 or 5 hundred worth in terms of your time invested in this process.
I branched out to multiple dealerships a few days ago. But I noticed that they all (I do mean all), went conspicuously silent yesterday. I wonder if it was because it was the first of the month. Infiniti dropped their lease price on their website to $499 for 39 months with $3400 down. That was better than I was getting from any of the dealerships. When I emailed them to see if they would be modifying the quote they gave me, not one answered! And no I didn't email them all in one email.
AWD Emerald Graphite with maple accents + premium package + theatre package + driver's assist package.
39 mnths, 15,000 miles/yr

Did anybody try to find base AWD JX without premium package. I searched within 600 mile range of metro Detroit area and could not find one. Its almost like you can have any JX you want as long as its fully loaded one
Dust will settle once Pathfinder comes to market. The hype will come down.
Thanks.

Got quote on FWD with Premium, Drivers Assistance, Theater, Cargo, wheel locks, nitrous etc. for $50,700 OTD with transferred tag. Thoughts on this? Is it better to wait a few months for hype to go down?
If you download the offer spreadsheet template from here http://www.carbuyingtips.com/buyingnewcar.htm and plug in all the numbers, I figured it gave them a 2% profit or $1000-1500.
Thanks again!
Little secret, they make up the difference in trade-in prices and financing, etc. All dealers make money or they go out of business - we just do everything out in the open.
Sales are awesome!
Just because you are informed and know what we pay for our products does not mean we must sell them to you for that same price. It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to operate a dealership each month, we must sell products of cost to pay for the overhead...we have to sell a bunch if we want to actually turn a profit - which is the goal.
I'm not going to insult anyone on this forum by pretending we are not in business to make a profit....if a dealer is telling you he will sell you something for below cost and the buy rate...those are the ones you better have your radar up for - watch the trade, watch the "fees", etc.
PS We will give the buy rate on a lease IF the rest of the deal makes sense to do. Our overall goal is to make customers happy and be in business down the line when they need us. That does not always happen - ask our old Hummer, Saab, Pontiac customers....
Any add-ons like accessories are extra.
TTL is required by your state.
Doc fees should run around $200 or less, anything over that and the dealer is just making a profit and calling it a doc fee - that is one reason you should compare "out the door" price and not just sale price.
Does that include the packages? Got a 'rough' VPP number from a dealer for an AWD with premium, deluxe touring, tech and theater packages that was >1k over invoice.
That will take you to a screen to print-out.. my dealer was adamant about having that..

Do you mind my asking where you are located? I'm in Scottsdale, AZ looking to buy a base this month and figure I'll probably have to head out of state as all the cars I've purchased over the past 10 years have been much cheaper out of state.
Thanks.
If the dealer doesn't get the proper proof - they won't get reinbursed from Infiniti, so they just "gave a car away"....
I'm trying to be pro-active in wanting a build sheet obtained so that I know they ordered the correct car. Is that unreasonable? As it is, they are upfront about stating that it may take 12 weeks for the JX to come in (tech, deluxe touring, premium, theater, tow hitch, cargo package, roof rails, crossbars). I'm ok with that so long as the car ordered is exactly what I want. But if takes 12 weeks and then they come up with the wrong car, all hell is breaking loose...
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Looks like we are in the same situation. I placed a deposit for a JX order this weekend &was told it could take 12 weeks.
I have not received any documentation or build sheet - - all I have are my emails back & forth with the salesperson & a confirmation of the deposit charged to my credit card. The salesman told me the dealer was allowed 5 orders per month and that they place orders on the first day of the month - such that my order wouldn't be placed until 10/1 (of course, this was told to me as they attempted to sell me a model that was in stock vs. what I wanted ordered so this may not be true). Were you told something similar?
Like you, I'm a little concerned as this is the first time I've ordered a car from the dealer.
We generally provide the customer with the Order #, all our vehicles - ones currently in stock and one on the way from Japan are listed on our website with a stock # or an order #. Then the customer can see the vehicle and all the equipment. We also will fax or hand them the order sheet so they can double check equipment and color - you can make changes up to a certain point. We also update the customer every two weeks or so on the progress of the vehicle (where it is, when to expect it, etc.)
Your request are beyond reasonable, if the dealer won't give you information - something may be wrong? Like maybe it is not actually ordered yet... :surprise:
