How much would you presume that would cost you. Are you in a lease or did you buy ?

 

i'm in a lease.

i called my dealer and asked him to get all the info he could on this (an 08 xSport), so as he learns more and tells me, i'll be sure to let you know

 

Expect to take a bath!

 

not necessarily.

depends on how well you negotiated your deal (CAP cost and MF). If you got an amazing deal when you leased, consider buying the car and then selling it private party. you may break even.

i was in a lease on my 06 TL and then got this G35 not more than five months into it. i broke even because i had gotten a really good deal on the TL.

 

Yeah I did that and got out of a lease early, but working with a dealer, you'll get hosed.

Also, your first lease payments are interest loaded so it's like purely rent. Unless he put a lot down, I can't imagine he'll walk away without bringing in a significant amount into the new lease, and if he did put a lot down, that's going to pretty much take a walk in the deal.

 

I think there is a web site called Lease Busters, you might want to check that out. If you got a good deal on your lease it might be worth while to see if some one will take it over...

 

leasetrader and swapalease are great sites too, problem with this is that when your a leasing through NILT (and alot of other banks for that matter), you MUST remain on a cosigner on the loan even if someone else assumes the lease. These sites offer something called full asumption program, but i never really looked into this and i know for a fact that the payment will def go up, thus making it less attrative to the next lessee.

 

yep. logic has it right on. not all lessors allow full lease transfers.

 

Leasetrader offers a full assumption program.

 

i can't wait

good thing i held off my purchase of the X till next year.

The dealer around my way says the '08 is dropping in November.

 

i'm very very excited. personally i dont care about the S package on the X (well as of today) (i may move to NY when i graduate but as of right now, ill stay in FL for the next few years) but I am stoked about the ipod integration and really want to know about the "modified" tech pkg...........
i cant wait til may 08!!!

 

I think it is safe to assume that the 2008 G35 nav/tech changes are the same as the 2008 coupe. The rear-view monitor will now be part of the Navigation Package, while the Technology Package adds pre-crash seatbelts with a motion sensor on the brakes.

Also, not sure if this was mentioned, but there will no longer be a G35S automatic. It is being replaced by a Sport package on the G35 Journey. Same exact thing as an '07, but without the "S" marking.

 

The rear-view monitor will now be part of the Navigation Package.
This make a lot of sense, I want rear-view monitor, but did care for
anything else in the 07 Tech package. I am glad that I waited for 08
and Infiniti make Sport model for X seal the deal

 

So I cannot buy the G35S in an Automatic??? its manual only?? I don't want a ****in manual

 

No, you can no longer by a G35S in automatic, but you can get a Journey with Sport package. It is the same exact thing, but no "S" badge on the trunk.
