My Take: M35’s August rates are the same from July, so if you missed out last month, you still got about three weeks to jump on this. The base model’s super-low .00002 MF is looking like a good deal right now.

There is a $2000 loyalty cash for leasing ($3000 for purchases). TMV reports $1500 under invoice sale price, which means the car is probably selling for $500 over invoice plus the mfg’s $2000 loyalty cash. Payments drop to $693 if you go to a 36mo/12k lease, or
$677 on a 36mo/10 lease. I know the payments look a bit high, but consider the fact this car has about 14k worth of add-ons. You could opt just the Sports Package and you’ll see your payments drop down into the high $500 territory.

This is not a typo by the way, the payments are pretty darn close between the Base and AWD, assuming they are equipped the way I specified them. The major difference being the AWD doesn’t have a Sports Package. For those living in more extreme weather, this is probably going to be the better option. Just remember, take a few packages and adjust the mileage allowance a bit and you’re looking at a very attractive lease. Infinitis do come fairly well equipped even without any of the optional packages, so if payments are what matter to you, you may want to look into a base without any options (about $525 a month on a 36mo/12k term)
