It ain't this easy! The catch is that you have to visit your Dealer for the just announced Special Infiniti Egg Challenge on Easter Morn ... you gotta' find the ONE egg that has $299.00 printed "inside the shell!"

According to the latest lease numbers, a new G37 6mt with NAV and Premium (at MSRP) will run just under $700/month. That is with tax, security deposit, bank fee, etc down (can be anywhere from 2-3k). The lease rates right now are terrible - definitely a "buy" at this point.

The formulas to figure out leases is very easy. Tarry of leasecompare also posts lease rates on G35driver under "buying and Leasing". Check out last months lease rates there and the formulas are down at the botoom of the list.

When it comes to leasing, it really comes down to how good the money factor and residuals are. Right now they are not favorable for the G37, but that may change in a few months.

Damn! Do you guys really think the leases will be near $700???

I wasnt planning on spending more then $450. I need to know before I get my hopes up.

LOL, good one.

Yeah could be. I haven't done any recent checking. The only thing for sure is lots of money.

Are the 07's that bad too?

I posted this under buying and leasing. It was an example of the lease calculation for an 07 sedan in July. You can insert the G37S numbers and do the calculation.

"Well, first off, the G35 S has a 54% residual, not 56% and a .00158 money factor.

The formulas are listed on the bottom of Tarry's post, but here you go. You need to know what options you want and what price you negotiated with the dealership. For instance, let's say you want a 2007 Sedan S with 6-speed, Premium, and Nav. That has a MSRP of $37,415. Let's say you negotiate a price of $35,415.

Depreciation Portion

MSRP x 0.54 = $37,415 x 0.54 = $20,204

Negotiated Price - Depreciation = $35,415 - $20,204 = $15,211

$15,211 divided by the term (36 months) = $422.53


Interest Portion

(Negotiated Price + Residual) times money factor = ($35,415 + $20,204) x 0.00158 = $87.87

Total Lease = Depreciation + Interest = $422.53 + $87.87 = $510.40

So, your payment is $510.40 assuming you pay your taxes, security deposit, etc up front or you can roll it into the monthly payment."

July rates for the G35 coupe were not as favorable as a few months ago, but still better than the G37.

i'm figuring rates will be in the 600-range ..... is it worth it? i know a lot of people will put money down to lower the payment --- sames goes for financing the car. i'm waiting another 18 months for the G37 hardtop

damn, 54% is a crappy residual for 3 years. Muscarel, are those the current August lease rates for the G37?

I haven't been able to get this from the dealer yet - but I'm looking for 24, 36, and 48 month residuals with money factor (for the G37 and August). Does anyone have those numbers pinned down?

Thats much better then $700. I think i could deal with that.

Yeah, but don't forget the payment he included DOES NOT include taxes, security deposit, freight, etc. Unless you put money down, your payment will NOT be $510 out the door based on those figures.

I guess it's just me, but I don't understand why anyone would ever lease a car. This is probably the best website I've ever found in my life and he is totally anti-lease.

I agree with you. Why spend so much money on a car to get nothing in return. Plus, you can not alter the car if you ever get the urge.

Well, if you have a business and can write off the lease payments than it makes a whole lot of sense. As a homebased business owner, it was a no brainer this time around. This was my first time leasing and probably not my last for tax reasons alone. Also, if you happen to change vehicles every couple of years, it makes financial sense to lease versus finance. Business decisions alone made me lease this time around, and if you knew the benefits, you'd understand.
