UPDATE! IFS IS THROWING ANOTHER $1000 on top of the $1000 loyalty cash that’s currently available on the G37 sedan. Look below for the updated sample calculation! If you needed a reason to lease a G37 sedan, this would be it. Offer ends 11/30.
Special Thanks to Shappy for the heads up.
Again, in case you missed the big bold print at the end of each post, I don’t take requests. If you don’t see the numbers you are looking for, that means I don’t have it. I know this presents an inconvenience to some of you, but these are the only numbers my contact provides me with.
With that aside, 2012s are the only numbers I have this month and they look quite good. I am always impressed by Infiniti leases because you get so much car for the money. Take the G37 Journey sedan for example; lowest sale price for a 2012 model on Truecar.com is 12% OFF MSRP! If you are an existing IFS customer, add another $1000 in loyalty. Edmunds.com states that there is another $1000 in dealer cash available, but I would be surprised if they part with that. Why? because 12% off MSRP is already near “dealer cost”. If they gave you the loyalty AND the dealer cash, there wouldn’t be much profit on this transaction. Of course, this deal is not nearly as good as the ones on the 2011 model (seen last month), but with production officially over, you’ll be hard pressed to find what you want off the remaining 2011s.
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.
2012 INFINITI G37 JOURNEY SEDAN
MSRP – $37,095
Sale Price – $30,660 ($1000 loyalty + $1000 lease cash)

Hey G.
I’m curious what you’re seeing as the truecar price of the g37 sedan in your area? I live in utah and can’t seem to see how I could get the sale price down to $30k like you showed in your example above.
I am seeing $34,248 as a great price (http://d.pr/ksgA) and even with the $1k of loyalty and another $1k of dealer cash, I’m only $32k. Is this just a difference of location? If so, where exactly are you seeing this price available? Might be worth my time to fly out and pick one up 🙂
Thanks.
Chris
@chris. Yes, prices are very much regional. I live in the LA/OC area which has a lot of dealer competition. Specially since it is still feasible to travel to the SD and Riverside counties to save a few grand. Another great thing is that dealer doc fees are capped here ($45/$55) unlike other states where it could be in the hundreds. If you are in Southern Utah, it may very well be a good idea to come out and lease one from here. If you are further north, it may still be a good idea if you can save a few thousand. But I would ask your local dealers first before making the trip.
I’m a current g37 coupe lessee and my lease is up end of month. I’m interested in another g37 coupe, but I want to make sure my lease money factor is not overstated by the dealer. Do you happen to know the money factor rates for all tiers? I’d fall in the tier 3 category, but want to see if all MF tiers are available. Do you also know how to find money factors for all tiers for any manufacturer let alone Infiniti so I can compare Infiniti to let’s say, BMW?
Any help is appreciated,
Nick
@nick. i don’t have the money factor for all tiers. just top tier. Part of the reason why I don’t focus on obtaining those numbers is because I don’t support/recommend people leasing unless they have good credit. If you need them, your best bet it to go through a dealer or broker who has that information. That’s how I get my numbers.
Hi G.. I was working with a local dealer here in San Diego and so far this is the quote I was given… Is this a good deal?
This is based on an MSRP of 39,985… (G37 Journey + Prem + floor mats + Il KIck + Splash guards)
I still feel strongly that they can go much lower, this is before Ive gone there everything was by email.
MSRP: 39,985
Sale price/Cap Cost: 36,585
Residual: $23,991
Depreciation: $12,594
MF: 0.00081
Term: 36mo
10K miles per year
Base 398.90
Sales tax 7.75% 30.91
Monthly payment including Tax
$429.81
Down Payment:
$1572.81
Includes:
1st payment
Sales Tax
Documentation Fees
Acquisition Fee ($700)
License Fees/GOvmt Fees
Any advice here? I know the MF is lower on the rates you posted above but this has a much higher Res – He claims he cannot go lower on the sale price even though I found him through truecar with a lower price.. BS about thats for a purchase only not for a lease, which I know is crap.
Anything is much appreciated. I know the truecar price is $35,119 + as you mentioned in the article there is $1000 bonus cash – So shouldnt I be getting that as well and getting this down to 34,119??
I was hoping to go in on Friday (black friday) for better deals or least to duke it out 🙂
Thanks G happy thanksgiving!
@adW. The RES is only higher because you are getting less miles to drive car. It is possible that your dealer is padding the MF. Cross shop him with few others to make sure. The truecar number is based on your local area. SD could have different prices than LA. If that’s the case, maybe you should call a few LA dealers to see if they will honor a $35119 price plus the holiday cash. There are still a few days. Sorry I didn’t get you sooner. I was away during the Thanksgiving week. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
By the way this was for the g37 SEDAN 🙂
Happy Turkey Day
Update on my deal….. Is this a good deal?
I feel that I can get them lower, this was the last price they yelled at me as I was walking out the door after some tough negotiations.. hopefully they call me back tomorrow with something better 🙂
Otherwise I need an opinion.. Can I get lower or should I not bother?
2012 G37 Journey Sedan + Premium + Splash + Illum Kick Plates
MSRP
39805
Invoice is 36752
Sale Price = $1750 below invoice or $35,002
Assuming Tier B I get 1.7% MF, Tier A lower
10,000k per year is a 61% residual far as I know?
Truecar lists this as $34,052 though so Id assume I can get them down to this price?
Please help I need to get them down prior to month end so that I can get this beauty
@AdW. Didn’t see your updated comment until after I posted my reply. To answer your question about the sale price…It depends. When I say the lowest price according to TrueCar, it means that there is ONE dealer near you (or not very near you) that is willing to sell you the car for that price. That doesn’t mean ALL dealers will do it. Dealer costs is about $35000, so it is possible to maybe get the car for $34000 and let the dealer pocket the measly 1% holdback. That doesn’t mean all dealers will do that.
Your best bet? Go with the dealer that TrueCar says “guarantees” the lowest sale price. This particular dealer is about 30 miles from me so it’s a drive. The others that are closer are offering about the same as what you are getting right now.
Advice, you ask and push for it. Get dealers to compete for your business. Whoever is the one that is willing to come closest should be able to earn your business by month end. There isn’t really a “trick” in the book. You just gotta be stubborn about it but at the same time, know what price you are willing to sign on the dotted line for.
Thanks for the reply. My lease is up end of December on my 08 g37 coupe and instead of leasing a 12 g37 coupe in Nov, I opted to wait until this month as I figured with it being end of year, lease rates will be just as attractive but with more dealer incentives. Was this assumption correct?
Aside from my question above and without considering loyalty cash back and all things being equal, what would be the most attractive lease for a 12 this month in your opinion? bmw 135i coupe, lexus ct 200h (i know i know, it’s an odd choice, but lexus’ are so comfortable and to me the IS is too run of the mill for me), or infiniti g37 coupe
Thanks for all your helpful advice thus far.
@nick. Dec numbers shouldn’t be too different than Nov. I should be getting a confirmation on that in about a week. I also have to check if the Holiday cash might have been extended/expanded into other models. BMW and Lexus do not have very good leases. There’s a premium that needs to be paid when driving a BMW. I haven’t never seen the CT200h’s lease numbers so I can’t comment on it. The G37 coupe is almost always a great lease. If you look over the Round Up posts I have written over the year, you will see it ranks high up there month after month. Of the three cars, I would say the 135 is probably going to be a whole lot of fun to drive. The G37 is a great car, but nothing drives like a BMW. Never driven the CT so can’t say. But at the auto show, I wasn’t too impressed with the overall package. Have you driven it? What’s your take on that? I hear it’s sluggish.
Thanks I’ll keep checking back here for Dec lease rates and incentives. One thing I do have the luxury of doing is comparing offers from my current location in LA to offers in San Jose. I’m moving north this month and figuring the cost of transportation from LA to SJ, I can expand the competition from dealers.
The reason why I’m considering the other makes is because of the cost. If getting another G I’d want the sport package as opposed to my current journey base model. I need change. Problem is the msrp skyrockets to 48k and the 135i and ct is cheaper msrp wise. Again considering all things equal inc sales price relative to discount off msrp.
Ct is VERY sluggish but I expected it when test driving it. What else can one expect out of a hybrid. However the ride was incredibly smooth and comfortable just like how a Lexus should be. I’m just not sure how long I can last driving without any power from 330hp to barely 125hp or so in the CT. I’d have to make up the sluggish ride by getting the f sport package which I actually liked.
