( i need to look up my paperwork for the residual numbers) I think residual was 73%.
With the lease coming to an end I am looking at my options. Could any of the pros here suggest if its a wise idea to buy out the car at end of lease term? I have about 18500 miles on it at the moment and will probably add on 2.5k more before the lease is done. No damages or accidents.
I honestly am not liking the new Q series cars and am not considering leasing one of those. If I dont buy this one out, I might just buy another car
Any and all advice is welcome. TIA.
I returned my 2013 G37 lease in July with a $30K residual and found it back on a lot weeks later for sale at $27K asking. If you want to keep driving a G37, take a look at the used inventory at the dealers around you. You might be able to get a comparable car in the mid $20K range with some haggling.

Yes, the residual on my car is pretty high. $27246 + a $300 purchase option fee.
The only reasons I am even thinking of buying out this car are:
1. The low mileage. (18k at the moment and might hit 21k by lease end)
2. I know I have cared for it, always serviced, driven it well and used premium gas always.
3. I dont like any of the new Infiniti sedans.
4. Cant think of another car that blends the tight suspension and performance for the price point and reliability.
If I walk away from this car I certainly wont get another used G37. There are some things like the lack of space and storage that irk me a lot and I wont be willing to make those compromises on some one elses car (I think)
I am thinking I can negotiate the car for a sale at lower price. I dont know how easy that would be. 2 years back Infiniti did some crazy lease deals and I am thinking a lot of people are just leaving the cars and walking away. But used car inventory doesnt look very bloated either.

It's unlikely that you'll be able to negotiate the buyout price - IFS has insurance to protect them on the difference between the residual value and the market value.

Sigh. So it is going to be back to car hunting. If only the new Q was as good as the G.
I dont even know where to start at this point

See if you can find a leftover Q40 - it's the same car as the G37, but with a new name. Decent lease deals are out there, too.

My old car was over 5K miles under the lease limit too. I called IFS about negotiating the residual and they confirmed that they don't do that. I leased a new Q40 instead.

I did not talk to IFS yet. I did talk to a sales guy at my dealership. They called back offering paying off the 2 remaining 2 months and waiving the disposition fee if I pick a car from them this month.
They dont have any Q40s and told me Infiniti stopped making them.
I tried out the WRX stick. Was really rusty moving the stick but I think I can manage it. However the interiors left me wanting for more after driving Infinitis for about 5 years now.
Alternately I am thinking of picking up a used 328i with under 30k miles. I am wondering if I can find the right forum to figure out the right price I should pay for it.
Additionally a dealer offered to take my G37 as a trade without me paying it out. They were willing to take it in and use the remaining payments towards down of a new car. Saying I dont need to take back and Infiniti will deal with them. Does this really work out? I am not sure how can I trade in a leased car?
I have 2 additional questions. Where can I start to look for fair pricing on used previously leased G37s? Details on what should be the actual depreciated value, etc. I am seeing some decently priced ones around my area. I wanted to check if they are a good deal or if I am paying more.
For a 2013 Premium package with Nav and some dealer fit add-on's with ~27k miles I am seeing listing for $24k.
2012 G37 w/ Premium and Nav with 13k miles for ~$24k.

Trading in a leased car is no different than trading in a car you are financing. There is a payoff amount (get that number from IFS) and head over to the "Real World Trade in Values" discussion for an appraisal of the value. If you have positive equity, congrats - that's really rare.
But, the transaction works the same either way.

In addition, the "Real World Trade in Values" discussion has some folks who know the auction values and can give you a good idea of what a decent selling price would be.

If I select Infiniti -> G37 -> I dont see 2012/ 2013 as a year option.
I select "used" however that doesnt change the page. I am trying in Firefox, also tried chrome.

For e.g.: http://www.edmunds.com/infiniti/g-sedan/2013/for-sale/az/chandler/?invtype=CPO
This is showing me 3 cars at the dealership I am looking at. It is pulling the pricing from their website, how do I know if that is a good price to pay for the same?
With all of the advertising, it gets harder and harder to find the tools you need.... sorry.
