Changes for Infiniti this month include lower residual values (1-2%) and lower Money Factors. I expect lease rates to remain the same through the end of April, but make sure to check back in occasionally in case things change. Per my calculations below, which takes loyalty cash into consideration, the G37 Journey Sedan’s monthly payment has gone up about $6 per month on average. Not a huge change so the lease remains a darn good one. One a side note, gas prices could have an effect on the sale prices on Infinitis, so I recommend being a bit more aggressive with your offer. Infinitis are not known to be “fuel sippers” and the fact that they gulp premium doesn’t exactly help either.
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.

MSRP – $37,295

Thanks for all the great info posted here. Do you know what rates and residuals they will have on the new JX35?
Hi, I’m looking into leasing a 2012 G37X Sedan w/ premium package. Here is a quota I got from a local dealer, what do you think?
With an MSRP on the vehicle of $41,405. and a dealership invoice of $38,329, the selling price would be $38,203.
39 Mo. Term/10k Miles Yr./$3,000 Total Due at Signing/$387.00 Mo.
39 Mo. Term/12K Miles Yr./$3,000 Total Due at Signing/$397.80 Mo.
NJ Tax is inc. in the payment/The $3,000 Total Due includes the 1st mos. payment-Infiniti Bank Fee-Motor Veh. Fees.
@wantaG. Too much money due at signing. I think your $3k up front includes more than that the inception fees (you are probably putting cap reduction to keep the payments low). Are you paying taxes up front too? Anyway, you should check what TrueCar ‘s best sale price is in your area. I am willing to bet its closer to 10% off MSRP. You may want to dig deeper than just the down payment and monthly payment. Get the details, work the numbers in my lease calculator so you have a better understanding on how good the deal really is.
BTW, Mr. G 🙂 great site. Thank you for all the info.
Thanks for your reply!
Truecar quote:
MSRP: $42,495
Target Price: $38,825
Yes, I am putting down more to cut down on monthly payments. Tax is included in the down payment. The dealer agreed to bring the down payment to $2,500
Here is another quote I got:
2012 Infiniti G37x Sedan with premium – MSRP $41,585
$386.48 payment
39 months
12k miles a year
Due at signing $2,786.31 ( 1st payment, Bank Fee, DMV, Taxes)
MSRP $41,585
Sales Price $37,793
MF- .00041
Residual 57%
@wantaG. That’s better. Remember to inquire about MSDs to see if that’s a good alternative for you in order to bring down your payments further. It requires extra cash up front, but its refundable and it lowers your MF.
Hi G,
I don’t know if you will have the answer to this but here goes.
When I look up info on Truecar I no longer get the dealer cost or invoice price illustrated.
All I am shown is the MSRP, Market Average, and Target price.
Do you know if this is something new with them? If so it makes the site useless for working out a lease.
I’m on a Mac and have checked it in multiple browsers all with the same result.
Seeing as you link to them I thought you might have some insight on what is going on. By the way I’m in NYC.
Thanks.
@G. I sent an email out to them asking for an explanation. I also found an article (http://t.co/AP8XFNbc) about what’s going on with TrueCar. It sort of explains a possible reason why that information is now missing. If I get any info, I will pass it on to you guys. Thanks for the comment.
Do you happen to have the money factor and residual percentage for a 39 month lease of a 2012 INFINITI G37 SEDAN X AWD? The dealers always seem to want to push people towards 39 months instead of 36. Thanks.
@sam. that’s because 39 month terms are slightly cheaper. It may make sense to do it depending on where you live and when you want your lease to expire (so you end up leasing your next car in a month where lease rates are historically friendlier). I personally don’t like them because I don’t like paying an annual registration only to drive a car 3 months, then paying it again on my new lease.
I don’t have the actual 39-month lease terms, but expect the MF is be slightly higher and the residual to drop 1%.
Thanks for checking G.
Hopefully Truecar will return to the way it was. It was a good resource. Now it’s useless.
They could at least provide the invoice price and dealer cost. I don’t care about the target price.
Hi G,
Here’s info I received from Truecar today with regards to their site.
“Thanks so much for reaching out. I’m glad you find our information useful and apologize for the inconvenience of the missing information. We have hidden the Dealer Cost and Invoice information on our pricing curve due to regulatory issues in several states, but the features should be available again in New York as early as next week.
We appreciate your patience! Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if I can help you with anything else.”
@rory. thanks for the info. I got a similar email (worded very similarly as well) from one of their reps. I noticed that if you change the ZIP to a city in FL, you can see all of the dealer/factory prices on their page.
Hi G,
Im looking to get into a g37 sedan in the next 6 months or so. Traditionally, what months are best for leases in terms of MF, residuals, and dealer MSRP discounts. Thanks!
@Gunner. Summer/Fall has been very good and this past Winter as well. Right now, the worst time to lease tends to be the First Quarter of each year.
Are these rates valid nationwide or just in the NY, NJ, CT and PA areas?
Thanks for this great resource!!
@bigbird. these rates are nationwide.
Hi G,
I have come across info on another site which conflicts with your rate on a G37 coupe.
I know Infiniti sometimes do specials at the end of the month so I’m wondering if you have any way of checking with your source.
Here’s what I found
10,000 miles per year are .00053 and 62%. Thanks in advance.
@Rory. I don’t believe I have numbers for the G37 coupe. I do have it for the Journey Coupe, AWD and IPL though. The G37 coupe is probably the base model. That trim usually carries a higher residual value. I leased one back in 2008.
That explains it, although I have been told in the past of end of month specials.
Thanks
Hi G,
I leased a 2011 infiniti G37X (premium package) in november 2010. 15k miles per year, 1k down, 411 a month.
I received a notification from Inifiniti regarding contacting them about special lease/trade options for getting a 2012 lease.
I am interested in this, and am having two dealers run numbers for me. I wanted to see if you you think they should be able to get me into a 2012 G37X Type S for less than what i’m paying now at 411 per month? I plan on putting no money down, am just interested in getting an S type, and reducing my monthly payment.
My current 2011 has 18k miles, and is in showroom condition. I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
Mark
Also, I forgot to mention, I am based in PA, and live outside of philadelphia.
@mark. That will more than likely be a trade-in on your end. Since you are still short of 2 years on your lease, you will probably have negative equity. However, I would double check to see how much your car is worth as a trade-in before you decide on anything. If you are breaking even or are up a little bit, you could go ahead and move to a new lease.
Its hard to say if you would be paying more or less because I don’t know what the MSRP and sale price is going to be. Hypothetically speaking, I”m thinking not possible since you probably want a car that is more expensive that what you have now. But if you have a lot of equity in your existing car, maybe. Again, gotta get some numbers in order to know for sure. You are working two deals right now (one is your trade in and one is a new lease) so there are a lot of numbers and factors that come into play.
G,
What do you think of this offer?
G37X Coupe w/ Premium Pkg for VA registration
36 months / 12k yr
MSRP: 45240
Sale Price: 39918
Net Cap Cost: 41068 = 39918 (sale price) + 1200 (tax) + 700 (bank fee) + tags (50) + 200 (processing fee) – 1000 (loyalty)
Residual: 59%
MF: .00060
36 Payments: $439.99 (all fees rolled in)
They offered me the exact same deal for 39 months @ $429.99. Since the warranty is 4 yrs, I’m leaning towards this as registration costs are greater than $10×39… Do you happen to know what the change to MF will be for 39 months? I’m told Residual will drop to 58%…
@rachit. The MF is higher on the 39 month than on the 36 month. Not by a whole lot tho. I don’t have 39-month MFs so I can’t tell you what it is. I just know its higher because that’s what IFS does to 39-month leases. Drop the residual 1% and raise the MF slightly since having those extra 3 months still keeps the payments lower. I just don’t like paying for a full year’s registration just so that I can pay it again 3 months later. But in your case, there may be some advantages to pushing your next lease 3 month later because Summer/Fall/Winter deals tend to be a bit better than Winter and Early Spring.
As for the deal. I think its good. I like the big discount you are getting. Will it get better? Maybe. It is still early in the calendar year.
Your calculator is spitting out about 96 for the 39 months lease for 429.99 so I think I’m going for it!
Made a minor correction…
