My Take: As I was mentioning in the MB ML post, you should do a little comparing when shopping around. Some lease rates may looks pretty good, but when you factor in all the crazy fees, other models (you probably didn’t consider) may end up being the better bargain. Say you were shopping for the ML, then looked at the FX35 (a little bit smaller, but still a great SUV). As you start crunching numbers, you will notice that MB charges $1095 for their bank fee for most states, while IFS charges about $595. The FX35, well-equipped, will probably run you a bit cheaper too due to the lower money factor, even if the residual value is 1% less than the ML350. This is just an example, there are many other models to consider, such as the X5, MDX and the Q5/Q7 to name a few.

Hi G.
Any clue as to the EX35 rates, specifically AWD Journey? 2 Dealers are quoting me .00122 and 53% for 36/15k and I don’t know if they are blowing smoke up my a$$.
@RB. I’ll look into it. I’m gonna send off an email to my local Infiniti Dealer to see if I can confirm some numbers.
@RB. my dealer is confirming your quote. So it must be correct.
