    Having a hard time understanding/calculating my lease with the current money factor and residual rate. I don't know the exact numbers used for my current lease below but when using the calculator online it brings up an extremely high number ( over $1,000 per month) so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    Can anyone shed some light on this, and also let me know what you come up with when using the numbers below and the current numbers of .00018 and 55% (Keeping in mind I leased this vehicle in NJ in March, not April.

    2015 Premium Q50 AWD w/ Cargo and All-weather package

    39 month - 32,500 mile lease

    MSRP: $43,135.00
    Sale Price: $36,370.76
    Residual: $23,724.25
    Gross Cap: $38,215.45

    Two complimentary oil changes
    $379.00 with only first month payment due at signing

    Obviously, I can't see what you are doing wrong, either.. ;)

    But, I get $382/mo., so it looks like the numbers are pretty close..

    Good deal!

    Made my deal yesterday. Here is the offer. I put $2,000 down and agreed to $405/month. I used the lease calculator that JB15 posted from LeaseGuide. I noticed the MSRP was about $2K lower than my first offer in March and money factor was higher. My final price was $12/mo. lower than the first offer last month from same dealer in central NJ.

    Q50S AWD/Nav.
    MSRP $48,830
    Liquid Platinum/Stone interior

    39 month lease with 12,000 miles per year
    MSRP $48,830
    Sale Price $41,110
    Money Factor .00018
    Residual 54%

    $459 per month sign and drive

    The fees we are rolling into the payment are as follows:
    $459 first month's payment
    Documentation Fee- $299
    NJ tax on Doc fee- $20.93
    Lease Bank Fee- $700
    NJ tax on Bank Fee-$49
    NJ tire tax- $7.50
    NJ Motor Vehicle fee-$425
    NJ tax on lease $1,162.98

    Not too painful after all.

    Congrats on the new car!! Enjoy!
    Congrats! I have a week with my new Q50 and I am loving it! I got almost the same deal as you, but I am glad I got it last month because the money factor was lower.

    That's correct.. Also, PA taxes the monthly payment, each month. Any taxable items paid upfront (acq.fee, cap cost reduction, etc) are taxed upfront.

    Something doesn't add up ... CA only taxes the monthly lease payment; not sure why they are adding over $3k of sales tax to your deal.

    And, the MF is marked up. Base MF for RWD Q50 is .00032.

    Definitely room for improvement on this deal.

    Could it be that he worked in the tire and Wheel protection package into the monthly?

    Hi,
    I'm new to this and a horrible negotiator. So I'm asking for help. I'm interested in the following vehicle:
    2015 Infiniti Q50 Sport AWD
    Navigation Package
    Deluxe Package
    Lease: 10k/39 months
    State Tax: NJ 7%
    MSRP: $51,225

    How much should the payment be with no money down (to my understanding would be first month's payment)?

    Hi,
    I'm new to this and a horrible negotiator. So I'm asking for help. I'm interested in the following vehicle:
    2015 Infiniti Q50 Sport AWD
    Navigation Package
    Deluxe Package
    Lease: 10k/39 months
    State Tax: NJ 7%
    MSRP: $51,225

    How much should the payment be with no money down (to my understanding would be first month's payment)?

    We'd have to know the negotiated selling price in order to model a payment. Read back through the last few pages of this thread to see what type of discounts others have been getting. You can also use the "make / model / year" pull downs at the top of the page to help with pricing.

    Hey Fellas,

    Hope to get some guidance. My '14 q50 was totaled (some doofus thought it would be a good idea to do a U-turn on a 6 lane road without bothering to see if a car was coming from the other direction), last week. On a side note, aside from looking real nice these cars are flawlessly built. My 4 yr old was in car seat in back, so thankful we both walked away.


    That was my third infiniti, and no doubt will be getting my 4th. Only issue is seems no matter how prepared I think I am, I always get a sub optimal deal. There are three dealerships within an hour from me. The last 2 were leased from the same dealership, which I went into yesterday. I didnt discuss numbers, I just wanted to get an idea of where Im at. The mgr said there was $3500 in incentives, but I am not sure if he is building that into what his negotiated price will be already, For example, if the car msrp is 45k, and we make a deal at 39k, then I say to take the $3500 off, he will say, no, the 39k is with the 3,500 off, or something similar.

    Anyway, what I would like to do is just call him with all my ducks in a row with a number. Tell him that I will give him first right of refusal on that number if not I will offer it to the other dealerships. I need your help in deriving that number. I would like a premium either rwd or awd, no options needed. I need 12kmiles/year, no money down and would like to pay $375/month total (certainly not a penny above $400).

    Can you guys tell me if this deal is asking too much, or can I even get better. More importantly how to ask for it. Thanks so much!

    Glad to hear that everyone is OK. That's always most important.

    For the replacement, you want to negotiate the best selling price possible. Yes, it's likely that any quote from the dealer will already include the incentives available. Read back through the last few pages of this discussion to see what others have been able to negotiate.

    What lease term are you looking for? 36 or 39 months are the sweet spot at the moment.

    36 or 39, whichever gives me the best deal. I looked through the pages, seems that deals are all over the place. Question, the MF is lower on awd opposed to rwd, but the awd has a higher selling price, would you know how much lower of a sales price would the rwd need to be to have a lower monthly payment, all things being equal other than MF?

    Glad to see you both walked away from that crash. Where are you located? If you are in the North East, dealers might not have a RWD car in stock, only AWD so you might have to take what they have in stock for the best deal.

    Ty, Im in florida, Im pretty sure they have bunch of both.

    By the way, what should the MF be on a 36 or 39m/12k miles lease for an AWD and RWD. When I was in there yesterday, the mgr said it was .00032, I told him I read it was .0025, he said that was last month's. Is that correct?
  • mikeysedmikeysed Member Posts: 63
    I think my dealer is marking MF up.

    Can someone provide me the MF and Residual for April in NJ on a 2015 Q50 AWD Premium.

    MF / Resid. for 12k miles /yr and also for 15k miles a year.

    Dealer said its .00018 for 39 months on both 12 and 15k mile yr options.

    Here is the deal:

    monthly payment seems high to me. I was thinking the payment should be under $400. I am in NJ and the monthly payment at the bottom INCLUDES 7% NJ sales tax.

    2015 Q50 Premium AWD:

    MSRP: $43,535

    Selling Price: $37,752

    Discount = $5783 or 13.2%

    $0 factory rebate (that is what is listed on this sheet he gave me).

    I do not have any leases in the household, and my employer does not qualify for any program.

    800 Credit score with good income. (MF is .00018).

    The Lease deal with $500 TOTAL OUT OF POCKET:
    39 months / 12k miles yr = $443/mo (Residual = $23,508.90)

    39 months / 15k miles yr = $467/mo (Residual = $22,638.20)

    For 39/15, I get $430.70 pre-tax with those numbers (52% residual). The quote of $467/mo with tax seems about right.

    Is it 52% for 15/39 and 54% 12/39? Are 39 month terms the best right now for AWD? Some deals I have seen, just do not know how the payment is $467 ... I have seen tons of people on infinitiq50 forum receive payments in the $360-380 range with similar MSRPs...

    Maybe I need to get more off? 13.2 is pretty good. I know some got over 15%

    Correct - 52% for 39/15 and 54% for 39/12.

    36 month residuals are only 1% higher, so 39 months seems to be the sweet spot at the moment.

    EDIT - my apologies, I just realized I was using your numbers in a 36 month lease. If I change the lease term to 39 months, I get a pre-tax payment of $398.40.

    So with my tax... should be around $400 for 12K and $425 for 15K... thats at 13.2% off. If I can get 15% off... that would be a selling price of $36,800... that would be $1,000 extra off... what would my payment be then? Are you able to figure that out?

    $36,800 selling price off that MSRP for 12 and 15k at 39 mo?

    And that gets me to where I want to be... $375 on 12K, with 1st month due.

    I wonder if I tell them they are $30 off with their old calculations and I want 15.5% off not 13.2 and 12k for 375, with 375 due if they bite.

    Can you please post the MF and Residual for the 2015 Q50 Premium with RWD. 12 and 15K. I see April numbers for the AWD but not RWD.

    Also, what incentives are there? I have loyalty (is that $1000?), what other incentives are there in FL. Thanks!!

    I personally don't like to play the "monthly payment game." Go in there with the price you want to pay, the non marked up money factor, & residual (this can't be messed around with). Don't be afraid to walk out. If it is doable, they'll chase you out the door or call you in a day or 2. The month is almost over and they need to move metal by the 30th.

    It is very difficult to judge by what others are paying. They might have put a cap cost reduction either or used some equity from a trade as a down payment. There will always be someone who gets a better deal than you and always someone who ends up paying slightly higher than you do. All dealers are different and have different monthly sales targets.

    I agree. Negotiating based on payment gives the dealer too much leeway to mess with the numbers. As suggested, work to get the lowest selling price, and ensure the base MF is being used.

    Those are the only two variables in a lease.

    What are the current MF and residual for 36 or 39 months, 15k on RWD,base? I got an offer for $0 down + tax and license due, $259/mo + tax for 39 months, 10K miles (msrp 38,895 and not sure of selling price and other details). Is this good? If I want to get 15k miles instead, how much more will the monthly payments be?

    .00032 MF and 54% residual for 39mo, 15K/yr.

    10K/yr to 15K/yr drops the residual by 3% (or $1166, in this case). That will add about $30/mo. to a 39 month lease.

    To calculate residual value, do I use the sticker price, or the negotiated price?

    Why on the cars.com website the premium awd has a residual value of 51% at 36 months, and here I read 54%?

    Why on the cars.com website the premium awd has a residual value of 51% at 36 months, and here I read 54%?

    http://www.cars.com/go/alg/index.jsp?makename=Infiniti&modelname=Q50&year=2015

    Also the residual on a premium rwd & awd, 39/12 please?

    Residual is based on the bottom line number of the factory sticker, including destination.

    I can't answer the question about information contained on other websites - not my responsibility :smile:

    RWD Premium - .00032 and 54%

    AWD Premium - .00018 and 54%

    Hi I was hoping someone could comment on this deal. I'm looking at the Q50 vs a GS350. The latter is obviously more expensive. Anyway, here is what I got from Infiniti

    QS50 Sport with Nav
    MSRP $48,830
    Cap cost $43,433
    Residual 50%
    Money factor .00018
    Term 39 months
    Mileage I went with 20K as I always go over on leases
    Payment is $549.16 which includes CT sales tax of 6.35%

    They will also pick up my last Maxima payment, not in the above and my lease termination fee, also not in the above. I will pay fees (about $1,500) and first payment up front/

    Thanks.

    I get $531.59 with those numbers. You sure there isn't anything else added into the cap cost?

    I don't believe so, unless the last month payment and/or lease termination are included. I have the printout of the Lease Worksheet from their system. The payment is 531.55 at 18K which is about what you came up with.

    Ok just a few cents off. Rounding, I'm sure
