Everything stays the same for the month of December. The Holiday Cash on the G37 sedan has been extended as well. This is probably one of the best times to get into a G37 sedan. If you have been considering the G37 as your next car, this is the month to pull the trigger.
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.

As always, Infiniti has unbelievable rates. Thank you for all the hard work in putting these numbers together!
G – thanks so much for this info. Do you have the 39 mo. lease rates, specifically for the g37x coupe. Yours says 59%, I’m having dealers quote between 61 and 64. Any help appreciated! Thanks!
@ryan. Mine are 36mo/15k miles per year numbers. 59% is correct. 39mo rates are typically 1% lower. I cannot verify what your dealer is giving you since I don’t know what terms/mileage they are quoting and from what bank.
thanks for the info. I ended up not pursuing to lease the lexus ct200h b/c the rates weren’t attractive enough. however, I really need your advice. the 2 choices: 2012 g37 coupe with prem, navi, sport (msrp=$47k, selling price is ~42k) vs 2012 accord ex-l v6 coupe (msrp=30k, selling price is ~28k). i currently lease a 2008 g37 coupe so i know that the accord is no match in terms of design, performance, etc. i mean the car is $17k more for the g37 (msrp) and the selling price difference is about $13k. i know there are lots of numbers to consider when calculating a monthly payment, but if you were me would you want to lease a g37 coupe with prem, navi, sport for $100 more than the accord or would you save the $100 per month and just go with the accord coupe v6?
@nick. I think it really depends what the ultimate goal is. If I were trying to save money but didn’t want to compromise too much in terms of power, I would go with the Accord. The Accord is a refined vehicle, a tad aged, but the V6 is very smooth and gives you enough power for daily driving. I’m not fond if it’s looks, but you will save in payments , insurance and gas.
The G37 is really a great car. Most bang for the buck in my opinion. Looks great, drives great. It’s just a pleasure to have park on your driveway or cruising down the highway in. I still miss mine, but there’s premium to be paid to drive something like this. It’s even higher on a MB, Audi or BMW.
In my current economic/life situation though, I would go with the Accord because its a more reasonable choice plus you retain a decent level of luxury and comfort.
Thanks G. I ended up not going back to an Infiniti and instead leased an accord ex-l v6 coupe yesterday. Not a fan of the fwd but it’ll do esp since I’m saving in all areas as you mentioned. Will miss my g37 and will eventually come back to Infiniti.
G- Great site. I am having difficulty putting together a deal on a G series because the dealer keeps telling me that the true car numbers are off. Based upon your sample lease I am using the same logic. MSRP on the car is $42,755. True car gives a number of $36,614. When I figure in loyalty of 1k (I own an M series) and holiday lease of 1k it brings the leasable number down to $34,614. I apply the 15k mile lease number that you have based on a 36 month lease (and a tax rate of 7.75%) along with the 58% residule and .00074 money factor to get a lease payment of $341.17. I have offered $360.00 per month and pay up front all the DMV, bank aquisition, filing and first months payment but they are telling me that the base number of True car plus the 2k back in incentives cant be combined and they cant do the deal. Best that they can come up with is the true car without taking off the additional incentive money and a payment of $389.00 for the same deal. Any suggestions here?
By the way, I am in L.A area and based true car on that area.
@spencer. I think the lowest TrueCar price only applies to the dealer they work with. So in order to get that price, you may need to go through them. It is very possible that the dealer is unwilling to go below dealer cost and give you the incentives, since they won’t make much of a profit there. If you are having trouble finding a dealer willing to give you TrueCar pricing and incentives, at least try to pocket half of the $2k. At this point, I would stop negotiating the sale price and shift your strategy to monthly payments, keeping in mind that for every $1000 you give up, your payments go up by $30 per month. Maybe shoot back and say $365-$370 plus you pay inceptions. If the price starts to creep up a bit more, then start asking for freebies. Oil changes (for the life of the lease, those are $50 bucks a pop every 3750 miles), maybe some all-weather floor mats, etc…
Thanks G. I did try to work it based on a simple deal with paying all the drive offs and make it a simple lease calculation. The problem that I have found is that even though the dealers are “True car” participants, they don’t really honor the pricing. Once they get you on the line (3 different ones in this case) they have every song and dance as to why the True car pricing is off and the deal can’t be done. My opinion is that the particiaption in the True car is just something to get you on the phone and then they start working you. This is the second time I tried using the True car information to get a car and it failed both times. Unfortuantly my anaylisis is that the True car numbers are not reliable (nor are the participating dealers) and are not usable to craft a deal. Sorry about the bad news. Your site, however, has been, and remains to be a great resource. Thanks again.
Any advice on how to negotiate a high -20k mi per year lease? Anything special to be aware of?
@scott. not really. when you go beyond 15k, the dealer will charge you a “per mile” rate and adjust your residual based on how many extra miles you need (beyond 15k). I recommend negotiating as usual.
Hi G,
I want to lease a G37 sedan. Should I lease a 2011 or 2012? What kind of difference in payment do I expect?
@larry. I only help analyze pending deals they are negotiating or to answer specific questions about leases. If this is your first time leasing, read over the Leasing 101 section and contact a dealer so you can get some numbers. Sample calculations are posted on every lease rate post. I no longer have 2011 lease rates, so I can only help with 2012 models.
Hi G,
I’m currently pursuing a 2012 Infiniti G37x AWD with navi, sport and premium packages. The best I got out of the dealer in round 1 of my first leasing experience was $355 for 39 mos. with $5000 down upon signing. Where should I go from there…
@ralfy. you need to have your dealer disclose the numbers. msrp, sale price, mf, residual and fees due at signing. if this is your first time leasing, you should flip through my Leasing 101 section.
Walked into a infiniti dealer that was across the street of the apple store i was at.
No negotiation, quoted me $41,000, for a msrp of about 44,300. with a sales tax of $1830, bank fees, first month, and dmv fees, I’m paying close to 3k for my first payment, with 455 thereafter. (or 510 with all rolled in)
i’m thinking of pushing it to 38,500 since its the 2012 g37x and they haven’t had it for too long. then it should be around 380, with 420 with all rolled in.
what are my odds
Thanks G. I ended up with a $289 a month lease for 39 months on a
Moonlight White 2012 INFINITI G37xS SEDAN w/Premium, Nav and sport packages
MSRP – $43,690
Sale Price – $39,795 ($1000 loyalty + $1000 lease cash)
Monthly – $289
Residual 58% .00074 Base Rate
also traded in my car towards all fees due at signing and first month payment which totaled $4688. So i’m getting a check for 1,500 back. No out of pocket my old 2003 honda covered everything
@ralfy. This deal is somewhat confusing, but here’s what I am able to replicate:
MSRP $43690
CAP COST $34900
DOWN $4700
MONTHLY $289
Cap Cost is basically sale price plus/minus all debits and credits are added into your loan. You are saying that all fees were paid upfront, so that means the gross cap is only your own deduction PLUS credits.
This is what I’m thinking happened…
Sale price was $39795…$2k in rebates was applied, making the cap cost $37795. Then you applied another $2200 or so in cap cost reductions from your trade in and another $2500 for fees and sales taxes.
This is best case scenario, and I think the deal would be very good in this case. However, I am not sure if I would have put $2200 in cap reduction, but if your goal was to have super low payments, you either have to do that or MSDs. MSDs are usually what I recommend because it buys down the MF and you get your money back at lease end. Unfortunately, some states don’t allow it.
Worst case scenario is that your sales taxes aren’t included in this quote and you ended up paying more for that car than you should have.
Hope this helps.
G- I am working with a SoCal dealer and have gotten to the below on a ’12 G37 Sedan Navi+ Premium+Wood Trim
MSRP $42,255
Gross Cap $37133 (1k dealer cash & $1k loyalty cash incl)
Net Cap $36221 (My trade paid for all drive offs — approx $1600 for those who care — and an addl $912 in cap reduction)
Residual for 39 mo @ 15k/year is exactly at 57% of msrp ~ $24085
Money factor was at .001 or 2.4%…your site said it was lower…is this negotiable?
Payment of $371 before tax or $400 with tax…
What do you think — any room to move on this one? Advice
