Slight change in the numbers compared to last month (Very slight bump in MF, nothing you will really notice). There is also dealer cash available for leases, such as the $1000 loyalty for the G sedan. The bad news is that sale prices have gone up a bit. Using the Infiniti G37 Journey sedan as an example, you are looking at about 9% off MSRP. If you factor in the $1000 loyalty dealer cash, you will be looking at about 11.5% off MSRP. A big jump from last month’s estimates, but still a very good deal overall. Also, you may want to inquire about the “pull-ahead” program they usually run in the first half of the year. They will allow existing Infiniti lessees to end their lease early without penalty (as long as your next lease is also an Infiniti).
We are starting to see an upward trend on the sale prices across many makes and models. Looks like leasing cars is starting to get a bit more expensive. I’m not so sure this is going to be a long-term trend though since January/Feb are generally bad leasing months. There’s plenty of room for better deals since the year is still young.
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.

Do you have the residual (12k/year) and money factor for a 36 (39) month lease on a 2012 FX35 RWD?
Thanks…Joe
Hi,
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think what changed on truecar.com is that it went from ‘guaranteed price’ to ‘target price’. I remember before when truecar.com offered guaranteed price certificates that it was about 13% off MSRP for the G. Now with the change to ‘target price’ it is about 9% off MSRP. I think you will have to now negotiate w/dealers to get decent lease deal…?
@phillip. Yes and no. Yes, it changed from Guaranteed to Target Price, but their Guaranteed price was never the lowest price to begin with. There are plenty of people willing to go below that. But you are right about one thing. There is still room for negotiation, but I do notice the sale prices have gone up a bit overall. But Infinitis still offer better leases than their competitors.
