09 Infiniti M Lease Rates – March 2009

logo_infinitiMy Take: Mike, this one is for you…Since we’ve been discussing alternatives to the 3-series, 5-series, C-Class and E-Class, I proposed a couple of choices such as the Acura TL, Audi A6 and Infiniti G37 sedans. However, if those are not to your liking, here are some rates for the M35 I came across, which seems to be getting some decent discounts. It might be worth looking into since Infiniti is offering $2000 loyalty cash on both the 08 and 09 models, plus another $1500 on the 08 model. It’s about the same size as a E-Class and the crash test results came out to be “good” on the government’s IIHS website.

Infiniti Special Financing for 2008 Models

If you missed out on Infiniti’s August lease rates and special financing, they have decided to extend their 0% and 0.9% financing on their 2008 EX, G, M and QX models.

Models offering 0% financing for 72 months include the EX and QX.

Models offering 0.9% financing for 60 months include G35 sedan, G37 coupe, M35 and M45.

Unfortunately, the 09 FX are not included in these special offers.

Leasing a 2008 model will become less and less attractive as we near the end of the year.  Since special financing is available, financing a purchase is the wiser financial decision. No MF will be low enough to beat 0% financing. It’s a interest free loan! If that isn’t good enough reason to consider a purchase, I don’t know what is.

Offer ends 9/30.

On a side note, GM extended their Employee Pricing offer until 9/30 as well. I know, who cares right? Well, you might want to if you are considering a roadster. GM may be pulling the plug on the Sky and Solstice because the platform in which they are built on is not “profitable”. For car nuts like myself, this is significant news because these two cars have a lot of “potential” in the aftermarket world. It may even be possible that these two cars’ resale value may go up in the near future because super fanboy (and girls) may want to buy them for modding.
