    Ok so the dealer gave me a call and told me that for 3800 OOP (plus motor vehicle which is 135) I can have the 06 g35 auto with premium and navi for 385 a month INCLUSIVE of tax. No other upfront costs. I still probably will haggle with them to decrease security deposit if there is one and/or disposition fee if there is one ... Not sure because he said he had a customer walk in blah blah ... I'm supposed to take this deal by next week if I want it .... I have my 04 max on lease right now and with the savings on this that's supposed to cover my 1k on the max payments (3 more @ 335), after which I can just return it to Hann Financial early if I hand them a check to cover all three payments and that way I can get out of the hassle of paying two insurances etc etc .... (Otherwise it was 4800 down and I'd get a "check" for 1000 from infiniti to cover the payments, so it comes out the same)...

    Any feedback on how these numbers sound??? I was told dropping my cash down by 1k would increase my payment by about 44 - 45 a month... thats about 1050 over 2 years I would pay back for saving 1000 now ... at today's bank interest rates my savings account makes up for that and more in 2 years lol ... What do you guys think? CARMAN I need your input because he's putting a bit of a crunch on me in terms of time.... To me the numbers look good actually... I'm looking at black on black - I think that looks SWEET and after reading about paint chip issues I think that's the smartest bet color-wise.... (Edited for clarity)

    Offer on table in Orange County,Ca.- leasing 24 month G35 2006 automatic coupe,msrp 37,940, annual 18k mileage, cap 34,494, 860 out the door (includes 1st payment and registration fees) 538.57 monthly including tax for 23 additional payments. Is this a good deal? Not sure of residual or money factor? Does anybody know current money factor being used and residual for 24 month 18k annual mileage? Dealers seem to be holding around 5% for money factor, seems high?

    Carman - Thanks Howie. It IS the G35X with premium package and wood and all the other stuff that comes with a car with a MSRP of $37850. And when I worked the numbers with the info you've been providing online, I felt it to be a good deal, so I made it yesterday. The deal at first was for one from his stock, but I wanted White (Ivory Pearl) so he emailed me the next day and told me has one coming in next thursday right off the trailer. Same sticker, MSRP, options etc. I made sure. This is my second vehicle from this dealer. Turning in my 2003 G35 next week. He's pretty upfront if you show you know what you're talking about. Provided me with the MSRP, Sale price, money factor, and % residual when I asked him. From there I used the calculation from Edmunds and we worked together to make what I consider to be a good deal for both of us.

    Thanks for you help and support.

    SOooooo......it's DEAL!!! Good Impression Carman!

    Thanks again,
    Bob

    Here's the info:

    G35 Coupe with Nav, Premium Package, Splash Guards, Trunk Mats, and Sirius (I wasn't particularly looking at any of the last three things but it's an "on the lot" car that I can get this price on...)

    It's the Diamond Graphite color, which the dealer says hides paint chips because it's a close match to the primer color ... (not sure how much I love the color)

    24/12k

    MSRP: 39,290

    Selling: $35,553 (Dealer claims it's 500 under invoice?)

    2058.98 cap cost reduction

    44.94 tax up front

    199 doc fee

    550 acq fee

    261.80 mvc fees
    _________________

    $3500 down OOP
    _________________

    $377.94/month (maybe a bit less actually)

    No Dispo Fee ...

    Money Factor w/ those #'s quoted to me as: 0.00216

    If I drop OOP cost to 2500 (decrease my cap reduction) then I'm looking around 425 (about 48 bucks difference per month, which is a bit of a rip off cuz 1000/24 = 41.67).

    Also, when I did the math with Edmund's numbers with ALL invoice prices (base plus every option included at invoice price) my INVOICE cost was 35,263... which makes this almost 300 OVER invoice when he's telling me it's 500 UNDER invoice ...

    I would appreciate feedback and I'm sorry I'm flooding the forum lol

    Another option - NO cap reduction (or minimal) so my payments go way up, but I put all of the 2k cap reduction in money into MSD's ... But then I'm banking on getting all that money back - DO YOU GET IT BACK? (first lease hasn't ended yet so I don't know if I trust the notion of getting money back for the deposit)....

    I am banking on all of your help - THANKS :confuse:

    Hi All, Have been surfing these forums for a few weeks. Great wealth of knowledge here. I'm just back from the Infiniti dealer and was quoted:

    2006 g35 Coupe Premium
    $38650

    $390/Mo. w/ $2K Down (Incl. Tax Title, Etc.)
    15k miles a year.

    This is for the 12 Month lease, but the dealer told me that I could extend it up to 24 months with no penalties if I decide at the end of the year I want to keep the car. I just keep making payments.

    Seems high to me, I'm still new to this, haven't leased before, though I've read the tutorial twice already on here and any help is much much appreciated.
  • rajeerajee Member Posts: 29
    Hey Charles ...

    If you're getting those numbers and you can extend to two years at 15k miles with 2500 OOP and 390 that sounds pretty good ... It's looking a little better than my deal so far lol (but I have Nav so maybe that throws it off)...

    You aren't in NJ/NY by any chance? I was wondering which dealer you're working with to get those numbers...
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi karz3. The last time that I checked, Infiniti Financial Services charged an acquisition fee of $550 on every vehicle that it leases. All consumers who pay through IFS will have to pay an acquisition fee. Dealers usually have the ability to mark-up banks' acquisition fees to add additional hidden profit to deals, but they usually do so by a couple hundred dollars. It's strange that this dealer is only marking up the fee $25. A $25 difference isn't that big a deal.

    Here you go, keval. If you were to lease a 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 12 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00196 and 82%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 24 month lease should be .00196 and 71%.

    I'd be happy to help you out, boomer888. If you were to lease a 2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan 2WD through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00142 and 58%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease should be .00156 and 57%.

    Greetings dongvefuc. Infiniti is running a new special 12 month lease on the G35 Coupe this month. It usually doesn't offer leases which are that short. If you were to lease an '06 G35 Coupe through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 12 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00196 and 82%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 24 month lease should be .00196 and 71%.

    Hi ufmike45. The car that you described has a spread of around $2,850 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices. You are being given a discount of $2,140 on the car that you are interested in leasing. This means that you are at around $700 over dealer invoice. This sounds like a reasonable price to me, but you may want to stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately: "Infiniti G35: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

    This car's lease money factor is .00219. This is equivalent to an interest rate of around 5.25%, not 2.19%. It is in line with Infiniti Financial Services' buy rate for this car. This means it is as good as it gets and the dealer that you are working with is not trying to mark it up to add additional back-end profit to your deal.

    The two main negotiable aspects of this deal, the money factor and selling price look good to me. If you like the car, I personally don't see any reason not to go for it.

    Hi rajee. It is in consumers' best interest to put as little down as possible when leasing. I always advise community members against making capitalized costs when leasing mainly because if their leased vehicle is stolen and never recovered or totaled in an accident their down payment essentially disappears.

    Also, you may want to wait until the scheduled end of your current lease to get something new. The dealer that you are working with is not doing you an favors by burying your remaining lease payments in your new lease. You still have to pay them either way. In my opinion paying an extra $1,000 to get out of your current car a couple of months early is a waste, but people do it all the time.

    Hello imcharles. You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. It would be easier for us to give you feedback on this deal if you let us know what its selling price is.

    Sure, that makes sense to me. The selling price for the car is $38,650.

    I am looking at 2006 G35 Coupe, Automatic, Nav, Premium. I ran it through the TMV and got $37904 and Invoice of $35393. I plan to call them today to try and negotiate some extra options, specifically the performance tire package, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything obvious that I should be bringing up.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey rajee, I'm actually looking on Long Island, NY. Received this quote from Millenium Infiniti in Manhasset. Hope that helps some.
  • rajeerajee Member Posts: 29
    Car_Man... Thanks for the input... I get what you're saying about the lease issue - The only reason I considered it was because I was given a higher down payment value earlier and then I mentioned my lease and they dropped my down payment to cover the amount of my lease payments and did not change my monthly payments (so it didn't appear to roll in at all)... So I'm considering that option...

    However, more pressing is the question of whether the money factor is correct at 0.00216 and the residual is correct at 72% for a 24 month, 12k miles/yr lease on a G35 COUPE w/ Auto, Nav, Premium... Invoice according to my calculations comes out 35,263 or something - and the dealer is saying at 35,553 he's giving it to me at 500 under invoice ....

    What numbers would you look for for it to "really" be 1000 "discount" without it rolling in ... I wonder if I can get this at or below invoice if I wait till the end of my lease ... I'm not sure they'll go that low at that time so I'm trying to get an amazing deal now which compensates for my 1k in car payments ...

    Also, would you suggest putting my money, instead, in MSD's.... My payments would go up then because I gave nothing down but in the end you're saying people really get them back???? I was always cynical that leasing companies find a way to keep the deposits... I haven't seen the end of a lease yet so I don't know ...

    What's your take on that?? Anyone can answer, I'd appreciate all feedback...

    Car_man,

    Could you please tell me money factors and residuals for a 2006 G35 coupe, 18k miles per year for 24 and 36 month lease options. Leasing in Orange County,Ca. Thank you very much!

    Hey Car_Man... thanks for all the helpful info on this board, very good information for us all.

    I am getting ready to lease a new '06 G35 Coupe and I want to make sure I have all the info in-hand before I go into the dealer. Basically, I want to know what Invoice and the money factor should be on the following fully loaded Coupe:

    '06 Coupe MT: Premium, Aero, Navigation, Rear Active Steer
    (Base MSRP: $33,800)
    MSRP with Options: $39,750

    Thanks in advance!!

    I received an internet quote for a G35 sedan, auto, Luxury C for a sales price of $31,600 not counting TT&L from Crest Infiniti Dallas.
    Went to lease car (39 mos)and was planning on $1000 out of pocket(security and 1st month) and a payment of approx $425 after rolling TT&L into lease.
    Was shocked to be given an offer of $510 and when I questioned it was told that price of car was $34500(+TT&L) and that the $31,600 price was only for a purchase not a lease. Also said they could do the $31,600 number(lease) but for a car without any Luxury pkg but by that time I was on my way out the door.
    Is this bait N switch or common practice.

    As per my message above the dealer and I had a discrepancy on invoice prices. I calculated the invoice costs as base and all options on the car totalling 35263 ... The dealer says that when he says 'invoice cost' he has to also factor in his destination charge of 650 and another charge (forgot the name now honestly) of 90 which makes up the 740 difference... His 'invoice' is therefore 35263 + 740 = 36003 and his selling price is 35503, thus 500 below invoice per him... There is no disposition fee. No security deposit at this time... Any more wiggle room???? If I'm getting it below invoice then 3500 total OOP with 375/month still just "feels" high - I don't know why hahaha :confuse:

    Sorry Car_Man, I just realized I left out some important info on the post above. I'm looking to lease the 6MT in June or July on a 24 month, 15k mile lease. Again, looking for the money factor, residual, and invoice if possible. Thanks again!

    There is currently $2,000 in marketing support on the G35 sedan. Does anyone know if the marketing support is not valid on lease vehicles?
  • cagormcagorm Member Posts: 40
    Car_Man,

    I am hearing that the marketing support is not valid on a lease. Can you confirm that?
  • flightnurseflightnurse Member Posts: 2,217
    rajee there is something called "hoid Back" that the profit margin they have on the car from MSRP, the Infiniti G35 has a 8% profit margin from MSRP.

    hope this helps

    I am currenly leasing a 2004 Mercedes SLK 320. I will be out of warranty soon but my lease does not end until June 2007. (39 mos lease) I am looking to lease the 2006 Infiniti G35 4 door sedan with extras $37,000 (sticker). Ofcoure I have not seen the invoice yet or got to the wheeling and dealing part because I haven't made up my mind if I want to gamble with the out of warranty issue on my current car. It's probably not a good idea to end my lease early but I am really not comfortable driving a car out of warranty and especially not one as pricy as Mercedes to fix. I want to roll over my one yr remaining payments into my new lease payments. I currently pay $770 + 100 extra a month for add'l mileage. I was told from Infiniti that my payments would be the same or lower with the new lease for 2 yrs 20,000 and rolling my old lease payments into them. Mercedes wants to sell me a 2 yr extended warranty for $3600. I only need a 1 year warranty but, they won't do it due to my mileage of 49,000 miles. I am between a rock and a hard place right now and not sure what to do. Quite honestly I have had it with Mercedes of Kansas City and their service. I originally got the car in Pompano Beach, Fl where the Mercedes Benz dealer rocks. My question is: Should I chance waiting until my lease ends in 2007 w/out a warranty and get a new car then? or roll over my current car lease payments into my new lease payments for 2 yrs until I can get into a more comfortable spot and buy a car instead of leasing one with a larger down payment etc. I can handle the monthly lease payments just not a large down payment right now. #2 what is normal amount of money I should have to come up with for a lease? Please specify IE: tax, title etc. Thanks!
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,774
    since it sounds like you drive over 20k miles per year, I don't think going into a new lease that only offers 10k per year is a good idea. That's number 1.

    Second, a G35 lease without your negative equity should be under $500. So you will be paying nearly $300 more per month than you should. Over 2 years, that's $7k! I'd either get the warranty for half that, if you really feel that uncomfortable, or I'd (and this really is what I would do) ride it out and take my chances. Aside from a catastrophic failure of some sort (which I don't believe these cars are subject to), there's not a great chance you'd need to put $7k of repairs into the car in the next year.

  • golddishesgolddishes Member Posts: 5
    Thanks for you reply Car man. The mileage I quoted you 20,000 was per year not for 2 yrs total. Also the reason I was a little concerned about being out of warranty was because my car just came back from the dealer (was in for 3 weeks) and $3000 was put into. There were problems with the car all along Transmission, electrical etc which I told the dealer about which they ignored. I had to bring in the car unannounced when the engine light came on and demand they fix it before it went out of warranty. This was a brand new Mercedes car just 2 years ago and this shouldn't be happening. That is why I was looking to get out of that lease and into an Infiniti G35. You mentioned in one of your topics to never put any money down on a lease. Does this include any money for taxes, title etc as well meaning $0 money out of pocket just roll it into the lease payments? I used the payment calculator on this web site and it says the payments would be $688 w/out rolling over any lease payments from my current car. You say the payments should be under $500 w/out rolling current lease payments into it. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,774
    well, first off, I'm not carman.

    AH, ok, so you have alot more info here than first divulged. Since your car is having problems, I can now understand your point of view.

    20k miles per year changes alot. How did you come up with $688, though? I honestly don't know the residual on a 20k per year lease, so I can't come up with a more solid number. I thought you were referring to a 10k/year lease and comparing that to the deals others have posted here, it seemed like you should have a low lease payment. 20k per year, however, could change things drastically for all I know.

    the general consensus is to put little to nothing down on a lease because you lose all of that money if something happens to the car (stolen or totalled). Personally, I don't completely understand that mentality since the same would be true of financing a car... but its a fine line. with financing, you might get some of a big deposit back, but you'd still be out at least a couple grand. You definitely get nothing back on a lease, regardless of the deposit. So I KIND of understand the position ... to a degree. But, as I've explained, I think putting down a grand or 2 is perfectly reasonable, since you'd lose that much on a finance that was totalled, as well.

    Black on Black G35 coupe with Premium, Trunk Mat, Splash Guards...

    MSRP 37,140.00
    Invoice 34,067.00
    Cap cost used for lease 33,567.00
    3500.00 total out of pocket
    343.63 X 23mo at 12000mi/yr

    First oil change included - Guy says he'll have my car taken care of whenever I get anythin serviced on it in terms of washing/waxing it ... so that's cool... Free loaners, etc (Ray Catena)

    Actually going to probably go to 2500 OOP and go with a 389 per month payment.

    What do you guys think? It's 500 under invoice legitimately...

    I decided against the nav at this time. The DEALER (who would want to sell it I'm thinkin...) said it was a 'no brainer' to go without the nav because that was costing about 30 bucks/month extra and so I'm spending around 700 on a Nav that I give back after 2 years hahaha Besides, he didn't have a Black car in stock with Nav and didn't have one coming either ... So I get the car I love the looks of, and can get a Nav for same or less money and actually OWN it and move it to the next car if need be....

    Any other bargaining to do? ;)
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,774
    i came to the same decision on the accord i leased. I think that came out to like $40/mo. Just not worth it.

    If I trade in my current lease and lease another car, how does that work? Do I roll in the remaining 12 payments $9240 left into the new lease or does the dealer have to pay the car off approx $35k and add that to the lease payments? Surely they are not adding $35k on top of my new lease payments are they? Thanks!
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,774
    It depends on what works best. What is the car worth as a trade in? If you owe $35k, but the trade-in value is $30k, then you need to roll $5k negative. If you owe $35k, but the trade-in value is $20k, then, yes, it would probably be more beneficial to have to pay the remaining payments and end the lease early (if MB allows this). This sometimes also involves an early termination fee of some sort.

    What is the residual on the car? Does that $35k take into account the extra you've been applying to your payments? It just seems like an awful lot for a car with only 1 year left on it that is currently worth maybe the low $20k range.

  • golddishesgolddishes Member Posts: 5
    Well that is what I was thinking but I called it was $34,123 (which includes early termination of 4% of balance)+ $2429.01 for taxes on the remaining 12 payments and on the residual amt. I originally settled on $44,933 for the total lease amt. The residual value is $25,800. depreciation $19,121 and rent charges $8139 for a total of $27,260. I was told that my add'l payments for mileage are not credited to me if I end the lease early.I can go up to 63,750 in mileage til the end of the least due to my add'l payments for mileage. Infiniti reassures me that they have a very aggressive lease program and I will be able to roll my current payments into the new ones and still keep it under $800 so we will see. After getting an education online how to lease/buy cars, I feel like I made some mistakes leasing my current car. I feel like I just want to rid myself of all this grief and move on to another car. After all this info what do you think? Thanks!
  • qbrozenqbrozen Member Posts: 33,774
    wait a sec, what if you bought the car outright? Do you still pay the 4% penalty AND lose the money you paid for excess mileage? I don't see how they can just steal that extra money from you.

    I'd still have a HELLUVA hard time paying $800/mo on an Infinity, personally. But you gotta do what you feel is best for you.

  • rajeerajee Member Posts: 29
    Yeah ... I'll just buy a nav for like 600-800 bucks and that will cover me for future cars and can be moved to other cars ... not to mention, if my future cars are equipped with nav, I can sell whatever I bought separately ;)

    Any more room to move on this car? It's at 500 below invoice .. on a G35 coupe I think that's the hottest deal I've ever seen ... :D

    i think $500 below on a coupe is GREAT.

    I wouldn't pay $800 a month for a G35 sedan.
    It's a nice car, and I like Nissan/Infiniti
    products, but you shouldn't have to pay $800
    a month to lease a G35 Sedan. I could see if
    it was an M35 and you were also rolling in the
    remaining lease payments on your Mercedes.

    So just be careful and make sure they break
    all the fees and costs down for you so you can
    make the right decision.

    Thanks maximafan. Yes I am getting all the numbers before I make any decisions. I guess my rationale is that if I have to pay the same amt per month, I might as well have a car in warranty for the next 2 yrs rather then pay $850 mo and still have to pay for repairs, brakes, tires etc for the next year. But, I am not going forward unless the payments are much lower. I didn't care about the expenses when I leased the Mercedes because in FL I made a lot more money and it didn't matter. Well, that is silly talk because it should always matter how you spend your money. Live and learn.

    Well, I signed for it .. I'm paying my last three payments on the previous lease together and turning in the car (trust me, it's smart lol I'm almost over mileage with 3 months left to go yet!)... Plus my deal is 500+ BELOW invoice which I haven't heard anyone comment on but I haven't heard anyone get anything below invoice either... So I'm getting my G35 COUPE WITH PREMIUM PACKAGE - BLACK OBSIDIAN WITH GRAPHITE INTERIOR (black on black). Navi was something I considered but the dealer didn't have it in blcak and overall it was a rip off because it would have been about 700 bucks over two years of lease payments - I'm looking for tips on what Nav system to buy and use (portable, of course).

    33567 purchase price ... 2500 total OOP with payments of 389 a month for 2 yr & 12k mi/yr ... first oil change free ... all washes/waxes free if I call my salesman to tell him I'm in the area (wash/wax automatically done when oil is changed, anyway)...

    Driving my old car in to work and the new one back TODAY!

    looking at leases for A4, volvo s60 and g 35 sedan - any thoughts?

    here is what i have for inifiniti -
    MSRP= $33300,
    Cap cost= 30607 (invoice),
    money factor= .00142,
    residual= 59%.
    With "normal fronts", about $1600, 35 remaining payments @ 375 plus tax. With first payment only at delivery, 35 remaining payments @ 407 plus tax.

    thoughts on which car is best, biggest, safest and if this is a good lease deal?

    rajee - I looked back and maybe I missed it...but where were you purchasing the car from? I am in Cherry Hill NJ and I had a premium G35 sedan offer at 399 for 36 mo 1500 down, but would gladly take a G35 coupe for your Price!! Any secrets to the negotiations!!

    Thanks, Brett

    hey brett...

    I was told by the guy at the dealership not to tell what price I got lol ... But they may be able to do something with you also because you're out of their normal 'area' which is the explanation he gave me for the deal .. plus i haggled a few dealers and kinda pitted one number against the other and waited for someone to bite at the numbers I wanted ... so it was some persistence and kinda putting out feelers as well ... I got the deal from Ray Catena in bridgewater... You gotta be careful though because one of the Ray Catena dealers had a BS'ing sales guy who gave me an offer and then had the audacity to tell me that no other dealer will even match it, much less beat it ... and he said his offer was in the Ray Catena 'database' so no other Ray Catena would give me any different offer ... OF COURSE that turned out to be total bunk! When I told him what offer I had gotten (and eventually took) he didn't think it was a real deal lol and then he started rambling about how I'm saving "a few hundred" but then forsaking Ray Catena's service etc so if I want to do that I should feel free - after a few annoying calls from him without him budging on the price I took great satisfaction in telling him this WAS after all another Ray Catena IN NJ ... realizing he got totally called out on many fronts, he shut up real good after that! (Sorry for the long winded message but I thought you should know the details...)

    Hello everyone,

    I am deciding whether to lease an Infiniti G35 Coupe. I am 22 yrs old and have a well paying job.

    I want a G35 Coupe with the Premium Package for 24 months 12,000 miles per year. I want to roll up everything into the payments.

    The dealer offered 535/month. Could I haggle this down anymore to maye 485 per month?

    Thanks
    Keith

    I was just offered 369 + Tax a month 0 down for a 39 month lease on G35X with Sunroof and painted splash guards, NYC. I'm debating whether to wait till the end of August or to get it now? Any Suggestions would be great? Do you think I can get a better deal if I wait till August/September?

    Thank you

    I am 25 months into a 42-mo lease on an '04 G35x financed through Infiniti Financial Svcs. I am interested in moving up to the M35 Sport, but still have about 17 months left on my current lease. Does anyone know if Infiniti will let me out of my lease early as long as I move into the M35?

    No problem, rajee. Multiple security deposits are a great way for consumers who have extra money to lower their vehicles' monthly payment. As I mentioned earlier, MSDs are great because assuming that you are under your allowed mileage and your vehicle is in decent condition, you actually get your deposits back at lease-end unlike down payments which just disappear. Of course, if your vehicle has legitimate damage, you are going to have to pay for it. Having said this, manufacturers' captive finance companies, like Infiniti Financial Services, aren't going to cut off their noses to spite their faces and try to screw you out of your security deposit because doing so would cost their parent company business. It is in their best interest to keep you as a happy and loyal customer.

    As far as this car's lease program goes, if you were to lease a 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 24 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00216 and 72%, respectively. As you can see, this jibes with what you have been told.
