Update: My apologies, but I only manage to get the convertible numbers for the 2009 model (36-months 15k miles | residual 58% | MF 0.00217). Hope this helps in any way. Moving on to the G37 sedan I discussed in my original Take this month. I actually got some info on that…The $500 Retail Captive Dealer Cash is NOT available for leases, so you cannot factor that one into your calculations. My official offer was $30,388, which is about $1200 below invoice. This means $1000 loyalty and $200 below invoice price. Not bad at all. If you pay all fees up front, the monthly payments come out to $336 per month plus tax (this gets a 0.99 rating on my calculator, which is awesome!). This is for a BASE G37 sedan. Availability is VERY limited on these sedans since most folks opt for the Journey trim. But if you are budget conscious but want a luxury ride, this is a good deal. Expect inception fees to be around $1500. If you are in Southern California and this peaks your interest, contact David Baker. I think he has a white one with stone interior left, three silver and one brown one coming in by next month. If you aren’t an existing IFS customer, your price will be $1000 higher, which would put you at $365 plus tax with inception due at signing (still an excellent deal with a 1.07 rating in my calculator).
My Take: I’m pretty impressed with the current numbers on the G37. The residual values are strong and the money factors are quite moderate, sitting at around 3.72% APR. The best part about this is that if you are an existing Infiniti customer, you have access to $1000 in loyalty cash which can be used with leasing. There is also $500 Retail Captive Dealer Cash which can be used on the sedan. Unfortunately, I haven’t confirmed whether this can be used in leasing or not (I am inclined to say no on that one).
Here’s a quick little scenerio for you. Lets take a base model G37 sedan at a MSRP of $34115 with an invoice of $31,592. Apply the $1000 loyalty cash and you get a sale price of $30,592. Using that as the sale price and the lease rates below, you would be looking at a $339 per month payment plus tax, with inception due at singing. Now, assuming that we can actually use the $500 Retail Captive Dealer Cash, you would be looking at a monthly payment of around $325 per month plus tax. This is cheap for a base model luxury car. This ALMOST falls within my wife’s target of $370 (with tax and only inceptions due at singing) per month. Unfortunately, with poor MPG, a 50-mile per day commute and premium gas, the G37 sedan just won’t do it for her.

My Take: For the most part, the money factor is OKAY. The residual is a bit low which makes this car a bit hard to lease. I haven’t gotten excited about the TT ever (at least from what I remember). This very much a “niche” car, so you probably won’t find good rates on them for a long long time.
My Take: As I write this, I am gearing up to visit my local Nissan dealer today. My wife and I will be checking out the Altima and the Maxima today to see if there’s anything promising. Here are the “over the phone” numbers I got Thursday. The Maxima does have $500 loyalty cash and $2000 cash to customer, but the $2k cannot be used on a lease. I also was told that when using VPP quotes, you cannot take advantage of the rebates. Not sure how much truth there is in that but we’ll see. Just remember one thing…any unclaimed rebate or cash, goes to the dealer, so if you don’t do your homework right, you will lose out on a lot of money.
My Take: Looks like the G, GL and GLK went back to sucking. The only “bright” spot would be the ML350, which has a decent residual and a decent money factor. Despite this, check in with your local Benz dealer and see how much of a discount they are willing to give you. This should at least give you an idea as to what kind pf payment range you would be looking at. As I mentioned in a previous Benz post, VJ says that AMBASSADOR numbers are out AKA Employee Discount, so they might be rolling that out to some customers.
