2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – January 2013

Published by G

Infiniti adjusted the residuals and money factors this month. There is some dealer cash still available through the end of the month so if you are shopping for an Infiniti this month, things don’t look so bad.

On a completely different note, for the 2014 model year, Infiniti will be renaming their entire lineup using the Q designation plus a number (unrelated to the engine displacement) for all coupes, convertibles and sedans. The QX plus a number will be used for all crossover/suv models. Let us hope a major price hike and crappy lease rates do not follow suit.

2013 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates – January 2013

Published by G

Doesn’t look like Mercedes made any lease rates changes this month. That’s good thing because numbers are typically worse after the Holiday season. Folks reported some hefty discounts on the C-Class during the holidays so if you are in the market for one, I would recommend looking into it while the numbers remain practically the same.

Published by G

Here are January 2013 numbers. Most 2012 numbers are not available to me anymore. 2013 numbers look a bit worse than December due to some drops in residual and MF hikes. It is typically not a great time to lease during January/February for most makes and models.

2013 Volkswage Lease Rates – December 2012

Published by G

Residuals have dropped and some models also received reductions in MF. Thats good because there’s some cash out there to go along with that. Folks have been getting ridiculous deals on the Passat right now, so that’s definitely the ride to look out for. The Jetta, CC also look like good leases this month. I personally really like the CC. Really elegant and classy looking ride.

2012-13 Nissan Lease Rates – December 2012

Published by G

Not a lot of changes here. Residuals dropped slightly and the MF stayed the same. There is some cash out there so the residual drop isn’t a big deal on my book. Nothing some cash and some negotiation can’t fix.

For those of you curious about the 2013 Pathfinder, I got the see the Platinum model at the LA Auto Show. It was nice. Very Infiniti-like inside. High quality leather, elegant cabin, decent room for seven. The next day, we went to the dealership to test drive a S AWD model…not as elegant…hard plastic all over. It drove well, according to the wife, but the S trim didn’t come equipped with much. No backup camera, no bluetooth and was being offered at about $29800. ($31k MSRP). As a lease with 1st month payment at signing, I estimated it to come in at about $406 a month plus tax. In contrast, the Honda Pilot we got came equipped with BT, backup cam, 2gb music storage, tow hitch and came in at $344 + tax. Not to beat a guy when he’s down, but really, no comparison here.

2013 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates – December 2012

Published by G

From what I am seeing, most rates remained the same. The G550 drop in residual, but really, how many of you are in the market for that SUV? The numbers were good in October, they stayed the same in November and they still look good in December. Looks like MB is making that final push for the luxury sales crown.

Anyway, keep an eye on the incentives. The should be some good ones available for MBs.

Please share your leasing details with all readers. I think this will help everyone get a feel for what the market is for select models.

Sorry for not having calculations this month…I am really trying to push out all of the lease rates for you guys to use through Jan 2nd, 2013. If you have questions, simply post the in the comments and I will do my best to answer them if no one else can.

Published by G

Excepted RES & MF drops this month. There is loyalty cash available and 1.9%-2.9% financing. Audi does go the extra mile for their existing owners, so if you have an Audi now, you will qualify for some decent chunk of change. Remember, the luxury sales crown is still up for grabs this year and BMW, MB and Audi are probably going to try hard to earn your business. Negotiate accordingly.

Minor changes here and there. Reduction in RES and MF. There may not be much in terms of customer cash, but there certainly is a good chunk of dealer cash available. As you know, dealer cash is used at dealer discretion so you may not be entitled to all of it. Negotiate accordingly and see which dealer is willing to part with most of it.
