Since IFS changed lease rates last month (one month ahead of the norm), this month’s numbers carry over from July. It also looks like there have been some price adjustments. The G37 Journey Sedan, for example, received a $500 price increase. It does change the payments a little bit compared to last month, but I personally feel that with some aggressive negotiating, you can overcome that price difference.

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

Oddly enough, IFS seems to have re-evaluated the residual values on many of their models because I am seeing an uptick on residual values this month. Of course, MFs were adjusted in order to keep payments around the same as before. I am also seeing the 18 month lease term with on the G which has an extremely high residual and a very attractive money factor. Looks like Infinitis are still the best leases around.

FX models have a MF reduction this month. EX models nearing end of model year so expect the 2013 model to arrive soon (EX will be upped from 35 to 37. Same goes for the G37, as a matter of fact, you might be looking at another two or three months before the 2013s come out. The 2013 G37 model will be the last of this design cycle, since a brand new design will be out for the 2014 model year. The rates look fantastic right now so if you like how the G looks like, its time to lease one. The G25 is being phased out for 2013.

In my estimate below, I would recommend settling at around 13-14% off MSRP but pushing for more initially. The interest charge on this car is so low, it really is a great time lease a G37.
