2008 FX35 AWD, 24 months, 15K miles
Splash Guards, Hands-Free, Touring, Black Roof Rail, iPod, Cargo Protector, Destination
MSRP of $43,020
Selling price $39,700 (about $350 over invoice)
plus NJ 7% and $500 in fees.
$1000 down (includes 1st payment) and $540/month.
The 2009 will not be out until the very end of 2009 giving you 2 years to bridge until that model comes out. My dealer told me that is why they are offering such a good lease on the FX35 right now. I also understand that the lease price goes up substantially from 24 to 36 months. I was told that the 2009 will have the technology missing on the 2008 like the hard drive navigation, the park assist camera and the lane assist technology on the new EX35 as well as a few other goodies offered on the current G35.
The Lexus... no comparison. If you want pure luxury then Lexus may be your type of vehicle, but if you want a sportscar ride (which I assume you do coming from the G35 coupe) then the FX35 is your choice. The FX is luxurious and has all kinds of neat toys but the ride is a little stiff as compared to the Lexus' quiet, smooth ride. Besides, everyone has a Lexus RX, they are everywhere on the road and are quite boring in my opinion. I priced and drove every vehicle in the crossover category and the FX35 won hands down for overall performance/ameneties.
Turning in leases differs so much between car makes. I have been fortunate to have never had a bad cosmetic problem. I just turned in a BMW 325 and the end-of-lease checkoff sheet was quite pricey for dings and scratches, but this is my first time leasing from Infiniti. Only time will tell.
What is the current money factor (I am seeing .000140), what is the residual (I am seeing 67%). Are these numbers close? Are there any other incentives or discounts? For the record, I am looking to write as small a check when I drive off as possible. I am also hoping to finish this deal before the first of the year.
Thanks in advance for any help.
_Best of Luck,

sounds like you have the current deal down pack (money factor 0.0001 and residual 67%). I know of no other incentives right now for leasing an FX35...If you want to see my deal to compare, it is posting #823... I think I got a really good deal and if you can get the cap cost around $300 over invoice you are doing good. Of course to minimize the down payment, the monthly payment is liable to go up like mine ($599/month for everything but sports package with $2200 down). I think your tax rate is higher so that will add onto the payment. Good luck and JUST DO IT, you won't regret it... I had another vehicle on order and got my deposit back after one test drive of the FX. And the good thing about this current 2 year lease, you will be turning this FX in at the end of 2009 when the new 2009 model is expected (at least that is what my dealer said)...
But with the marketing support I am seeing on Carsdirect I think the higher priced dealer is giving me the bull.
And how do I compare that to the Infiniti deal that is advertised on this site which is $399 plus a downpayment of $3250.
Anyone know who is giving me the bull?
I have not yet driven the FX35 but have read good things about it.
thats freshalloy.com good luck
Thanks
Thanks
if you are ok with leasing outside of IFS and don't mind paying a disposition fee, then go for it.
BTW, are those lease #s with $0 down?
The RX350 is just a different car altogether. Lexus is too plush and has a floaty ride for my tastes.
My experience with IFS was the best by far (I've leased thru BMW, MB & Audi). Unlike the rest, they didn't hit me for every little ding and waived up to $500 in damages and mileage overages since I was leasing another car through them. All I had to do was turn the car in.
They then quoted me a too good to be true price for an IFS lease.
do you mean your specific dealer was potentially going to drop further or in general the #'s are going down for the FX 35 post Jan?
I am being offered the following on an Infiniti FX35, Touring, Hands Free, NAV, iPod connector:
MSRP $45,105.00
CapCost $41,510.00 ($400 over invoice)
Can you calculate my payment on a 24 month lease?
Thanks,

I am interested in a 24 or 36 month 10k (or 12k if IFS doesn't do 10K). In December the 24 month leases were better than the 36 month. Do you have the MF and Residuals? Thanks in advance.
Cap Cost of 40,900 (1500 over invoice) Residual of 66% Money .001700.
The Money rate seems high to me, plus does the dealer incentive include leases? $1500 over invoice seems high if the dealer is getting an additional 2500 factory incentive. Any thoughts? Now leaning towards a Toyota Highlander.
I'm looking at a 35 with the following options
Cargo Area Protector (PIO)
Hands-Free Package
Splash Guards (PIO)
Technology Package
Touring Package
It's listed at 46350. Was hoping someone could tell me the invoice price and what a lease rate should be if I was at 500 over invoice.
What is the final purchase price ?
Take a look at... tenzo, "Infiniti FX45 / FX35 Prices Paid and Buying Experience" #1292, 19 Jan 2008 4:30 pm
"...
Total MSRP* $45,220.00
Purchase price 39285+TTL
..."
Your car is better equipped which has MSRP about $1500 more..
=~ 39,285 + 1500
=~ 40,785 (for purchase price)
- 30,371 (residual value 65% after 24 months)
=~ 10,414 (this is the cost of 24 months usage)
Compare the above amount with your payment
$4000 down + $499 monthly x 24 = $15,976
Diff. = 15,976 - 10,414 = $5,562
$5,562 = tax(*) , bank fee, interest and TTL... for 24 months..
=> little too much for $10,414 ?
(*) tax amount = (purchase price - residual value) * tax rate...
The "agreed value of the car" would be 42,790. Also, Chicago has an 8% use tax, which comes to $3,423. Not sure how much TTL and other things should be. How do I figure out what the invoice price on the car is? Or is the invoice price the "agreed value of the car"?
Invoice price: There are lot of places on internet ... that you can get invoice price... (kbb, edmunds or carsdirect)
http://www.kbb.com
http://www.carsdirect.com
or you can ask the salesman to give you the print out the mrsp and invoice for the car
Price: current FX is the last year model...=> there is some incentive for FX... people are talking about 2 - 2.5K... (http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ef17d31?displayRecent)
Note:
Jan 2008: only 810 FX were sold
previous month - Dec 2007: 2,013
previous year - Jan 2007: 1,538
