09 Infiniti M Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_infinitiMy Take: The residual value on the M are certainly lower than desired, but at least it is more inline with the actual car’s value. This is a solid Lease-to-Buy candidate, however, I suspect IFS has a better APR for purchases (0.9 for 48 months). There’s also an absurd amount of lease cash, loyalty and dealer cash on this ride, click here to find out more.

Here’s a hypothetical scenario for ya. Lets say I’m shopping around for the M35 and I pick this one out:

2009 M35 + Tech at $50,120 MSRP. The invoice price is $46,129. Since I am an existing IFS customer, I would get the $2500 loyalty cash. Now if you aren’t a customer, there’s a $2500 conquest cash, so either way you will get one. Then, there is $1000 in loyalty lease cash. There is also another $1000 for models without the extra fancy tech packages, but since the one I just picked has it, I don’t qualify. Now there’s another $5000 cash which I will assume the dealer is willing to split with me 50/50. So all-in-all, if the dealer sells the car at invoice + the rebates, we’re looking at a sale price of $40129. Assuming this is the case, 39-months, 10k miles (because I would lease-to-buy this ride) here are the payments I’d be looking at:

Monthly: $458 + (9.25% CA tax) = $500.

Inception fees would be $500 for the 1st month payment, $595 for bank fee, $45 for the doc fee, $8.25 for the tire tax and around $400-$500 bucks for DMV reg maybe?!? For a total of $1600-1700 due at signing.

Of course, all of this is hypothetical, but it does give decent idea as to what you could push for.

At Invoice At MSRP
Make/Model Invoice MSRP 24-month 36-month 24-month 36-month
09 Infiniti M35 $43,151 $46,665 N/A $694 N/A $801

NOTE: Estimates assuming the following conditions:

  • Inception fees (1st month payment, DMV, doc fee, bank fee, tire tax and possible security deposit) due at signing.
  • Local Taxes not included.
  • 24-month/15k and 36-month/15k terms.
  • All cars are stock, without any options.
  • No rebates/incentives applied

  1. kind of figure as much, but still I would probably make an offer of 10k off MSRP and see what the dealer comes back with. I tend not to get wrapped up on the whole rebate war. As long as you know what rebates you are entitled to, you should be fine.
