2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – August 2012

Published by G

Since IFS changed lease rates last month (one month ahead of the norm), this month’s numbers carry over from July. It also looks like there have been some price adjustments. The G37 Journey Sedan, for example, received a $500 price increase. It does change the payments a little bit compared to last month, but I personally feel that with some aggressive negotiating, you can overcome that price difference.


Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

Numbers remain the same. My projection of the 328i selling for about $500 remains the same as well. In other words, whatever you were getting in July should remain the same in August. I looked at TrueCar data for NY area and it looks like the 328i is coming in at a bout $400 less, so those of you in the NE, try going for invoice. Truth be told, I’d recommend going for invoice no matter where you live.

2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – July 2012

Published by G

Oddly enough, IFS seems to have re-evaluated the residual values on many of their models because I am seeing an uptick on residual values this month. Of course, MFs were adjusted in order to keep payments around the same as before. I am also seeing the 18 month lease term with on the G which has an extremely high residual and a very attractive money factor. Looks like Infinitis are still the best leases around.

Edmunds $2000 visa cash card promo. Need I say more?

Pretty much the expected drop in residual and mf. Nothing out of the norm. The sale prices on the Accords are coming at or near dealer cost, which is really good. It’s Accord clearance time and it shows. I see tons of people getting new Accords nowadays and I don’t blame them. If you are shopping for a family sedan that’s refined and reliable, this is the one to get.

2012-13 Nissan Lease Rates – July 2012

Published by G

Looks like Nissan re-evaluated their lease rates because some models got a bump in residual and mf this month. Not complaining, but I personally rather see a lower residual and money factor than a higher one because it makes positive equity on trade-ins more of a possibility. Assuming you qualify for the graduate cash and can negotiate an invoice price (I don’t see why not, but it could prove challenge in cities with little dealer competition), you can get into the new 2013 Altima for around $300 a month after tax and with inception fees at signing. Still not a “great deal”, but I am willing to be things get better during the holidays.

Residuals and MFs drop a little bit this month. Not a bad thing. Pretty standard and predictable  if you ask me. Looking at the CC, it seems the deal just got sweeter with a $1000 increase of last month’s lease cash (a total of $2000).  So if you went invoice + lease cash, the deal looks like what I have calculated below. Not too shabby huh?

2012-13 Acura Lease Rates – July 2012

Published by G

Noticed some drops in residual on some models (MDX, TSX, TL) and some increases on another (RDX). ILX stays the same, but MF drops. Taking the TL as an example, a 1% drop in residual with no drop in MF to compensate seems to indicate that the deal this month is slightly worse. However, if you factor the $2000 dealer cash and the $1000 conquest/loyalty cash, you are looking at some room to make this deal the same (or better) than last.
