MSRP - 53,055
Sale price - 47,782
money factor - .00126
Residual - 57%
$0 down; 15,000 miles/year
payment - $639 (inclusive of taxes).
Is that a good deal?
Thanks.
Also, the money factor that you were quoted looks high. Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate for a 36-month lease of this truck is only .00124 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
I think that you can do better than this. Try shopping around some more.

The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

Can you tell me the lease rates for the infiniti jx at either 36, 39 months and 10, 12, or 15k miles? What's the money factor and residual? Does it matter if I buy FWD or AWD? Thank you!
The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are .00108 and 56%.
The numbers for the FWD version are indeed different, .00083 / 55% and .00086 / 54%.
The residual values for a lease with 12,000 miles per year would be 1% higher. The 10k residuals would be 2% higher.

Infiniti quoted me $561 for a 39 month lease with $12k miles based on a MSRP of $51,445 and a negotiated price of $48,500 for a 2013 JX with the premium package. Based on your money factor and residual of .00108 and 56% respectively I get a payment fo $576, so this seems like a pretty good deal. Would you agree?
Dealership also agreed to pay the buyout on my existing lease. Wouldn't say that was much of a deal for me though because my payoff lower than what the current would sell for.
Are people getting below invoice?
After putting down 9 security deposits (again thanks to your post making me aware that Infiniti offers such a program), the rate dropped to 0.00018. I am paying less than $14 a month in rent charge for a $50k car. Unbelievible.

THANKS for any help!
A lease consists of 3 components - depreciation, rent charge, and taxes. There is nothing much you can do on depreciation because the residual value is set by the manufacturer. You try to negotiate the best selling price on the car (which is what you should be doing anyways) and that's about all you can do. There is nothing you can do on taxes either.
The usual disadvantage in a lease vs. buy is in the rent charge. The rent charge is calculated by (selling price + residual) x money factor. Let's say your JX has MSRP of $51000 and you negotiated $46000. If you buy you would be financing $46000. If you lease you would be financing close to $76000, based on $46000 + residual of around $30000. That rent charge adds up quite significantly over the term of the lease.
Infiniti's multiple security deposit program allows you to buy down the lease money factor. Each security deposit reduces money factor by 0.0001 and you can do 9. In contrast, other manufacturers have less generous multiple security deposit programs - each payment reduces the money factor by the lesser amount, and you can do less security deposits.
Looking at the JX lease, with 9 security deposits, you can reduce the money factor from 0.00108 to 0.00018. That is pretty amazing as it reduces the interest rate on the rent charge to almost zero (0.43% to be exact)! It's almost as if Infiniti is giving you zero percent interest rate to lease their car.
You can do much better than this... the residual and money factor are correct but I lost you at the $1,600 due at signing + $3,000 and then a monthly payment of $568 plus tax. What city and state are you using for taxes? Without any additional incentives like USAA or working for an affiliate company you should be looking for $4,500 off MSRP. I just helped someone on a similar car and here is the exact deal based on Westchester County taxes in NY.
I suggest just putting the first month, bank fee and DMV out of pocket. No cap cost reduction and taxes in the monthly payment in case the car gets totaled or stolen. See the breakdown below...
Please take note that there is no $3,000 down and total due at signing is $1,628.20. Also the monthly payment of $530.70 includes the taxes. It's probably about a $4,400 in savings compared to what you are being offered.

I have seen mention of the security deposits to buy down the money factor.
a couple of questions here.
1. Would the "security deposits" being one payment (rounded to the nearest 50) be based on the buy rate money factor or the money factor after the buy down?
2. They are refundable? is this written into the lease and i assume retuned at the end of the lease.
also in general "Cap cost" is final negotitaed price correct? before taxes, dmv etc.
thanks
What is the USAA promo that you mention? I am a USAA member.
This is my first time leasing a car so I don't know if it is a good deal.
They don't try to give me the actualy price of the vehicle.
Premium Package, Tow Package, AWD, Maple Accents, Cargo Package... etc.
MSRP: ~$51,000
Selling price: ~$48,600
No Down
1st month payment: $1000
Monthly Payment: $598 for 39 months
10,000 miles
They are also offering free mechanical services for 3 years.
Is this a good deal?
If not, what could make it better?
Thanks for all the great info.
Do you have the money factor / residual for a 18k mi 39 mo lease on a jx awd premium?
Thx.
In total the MSRP is $50,650
I am trying to lease it but the price $48,155.
That would mean that they discounted $2,495.
58%
.00108
First month payment is $1000(including tax, bank fee, documentation, etc)
No down.
12k miles
Every month would be $608 for 38 months
Is there a way I can make a better deal?
Where was the place you got your quote?
And who helped you?
Cost on the lease is $48,476.00 on an MSRP of $51,73500. The residuel is 56% = $27,996.70 adjusted for the 18000 miles, and the money factor is .00108. Due at signing $2400, monthly 660 (includes NJ taxes 7%). Dealer said he could probably go lower in person (this was over email).
Plugging into edmunds lease calculator I get $732/mo, so are the calculations wrong or is this just a very good deal?
This is for a completely loaded JX AWD with all packages and other addons.
MSRP $58,500
Sales price $54,500
Money factor 0.00108
Residual 56%

I went to other dealer today i got following..
I am getting 2013 JX with Touring, Technology, Theater and Premium package, Black with Graphite Leather and 10k miles/year with following..
MSRP: $56.8K
Negotiated Price: $52,5K (VPP Program)
59% residual
Delaer didn't tell me Money factor, but based on numbers he game me I calculated that to be 0.00145. I think this is high. I know i will qualify for top tier.
First month payment $650 (tax included)
$2500 at signing (1st month, fees, 1400 down payment and tax)
Dealer is willing to add some accessories..
How is this deal?
is 0.00108 is the lowest money factor? By putting $1400 my lease payment is $42 less.
What do you say don't put anything down on a lease?
Thank you in advance!

- They allow the dealer to meet your criteria without budging (i.e. I want this car for this payment) - they make you put more money down
- If your vehicle is totaled in an accident you lose your whole down payment
- You don't get the money back and you have to put it down over and over again every time you lease a new vehicle.
- It makes it harder to compare lease deals from multiple dealers or multiple vehicle options. If you structure every deal as no money down (just first month's payment and registration fees) you have an easier time comparing apples to apples
Instead, look at the multiple security deposit program. You save a lot on your monthly payment but you get the money back at the end of your lease and can use it again for MSDs on your next lease.
I'm not sure what the buy rate for the money factor is. If it's not posted on this thread, one way to find out is to get quotes over the internet from multiple dealers (something you should be doing already)
thank you for your response and detailed information on VPP program. I am not trying to be greedy but do i still have more negotiation room, say sell price below invoice? If i don't then I guess i am ok with the selling price but I would like to score some accessories if i can.
Thanks!
Mav
Thank you for your reply. Yes my VPP program does start with letter "D". I trying to get kick plates and cargo package also in same deal. Sales person told me if i get this deal done he will personally will see I will get something more.
Do Infinity lease program have any free maintenance package/offer?
Thank again!
Mav
I am seeing several people on this forum getting offers below invoice even though there is no incentives out there right now on leasing. Is that because dealers are splitting a portion of the holdback or is there something else out there that I am missing?
Also the current $1000 incentive is just on purchase and not on lease right?

Infiniti JX35 with premium, theater and deluxe packages. Just taxes, fees, registration out of pocket, probably about $2,000 and 579/month. Good deal or they can do better? MSRP is $51,xxx
Good deal or they can do better? What if I added the driver assist package how much should my monthly payment be? I just want to put the minimum down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!!
