2013 Infiniti Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

April numbers carry over from March. EX37 numbers added. Remember this is probably your last chance to get the G37 sedan since the new 2014 should be arriving later this year. I anticipate another change in rates for May and possibly another one around July to wrap up the Summer.

2013 Infiniti Lease Rates – March 2013

Published by G

IFS updated their lease rates for March. Residuals have gone UP for several models. Unfortunately, the MFs have gone up as well. Nevertheless, I believe that the payments will not change too dramatically. Remember that the production of the G37 sedan it’s nearing it’s end and will be replaced by the Q50. If you don’t like how the Q50 looks, you probably have about 5 months to snag a G37.

2013 Infiniti Lease Rates – February 2013

Published by G

Numbers look the same as last month. Still a pretty good lease considering is the early part of the year, when it is historically not a good time to lease. My guess is that they are trying move as many of their non-Q or non-QX models before the name change happens. Good news for those trying to catch the last generation of the G-sedan.

2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – January 2013

Published by G

Infiniti adjusted the residuals and money factors this month. There is some dealer cash still available through the end of the month so if you are shopping for an Infiniti this month, things don’t look so bad.

On a completely different note, for the 2014 model year, Infiniti will be renaming their entire lineup using the Q designation plus a number (unrelated to the engine displacement) for all coupes, convertibles and sedans. The QX plus a number will be used for all crossover/suv models. Let us hope a major price hike and crappy lease rates do not follow suit.

2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – December 2012

Minor changes here and there. Reduction in RES and MF. There may not be much in terms of customer cash, but there certainly is a good chunk of dealer cash available. As you know, dealer cash is used at dealer discretion so you may not be entitled to all of it. Negotiate accordingly and see which dealer is willing to part with most of it.

Bank Acquisition Fees. What to Expect.

Published by G

Here is a partial list of bank acquisition fees. If you have leased with a brand or bank that’s not listed here, please share with the rest of us. Fees marked with a (*) are unconfirmed.

UPDATE (12/10/2012) – Had a very interesting conversation with the Honda finance guy the other day regarding bank acquisition fees. My original understanding of bank fees was that they served as two things: 1) loan processing 2) GAP coverage (for most banks). However, there is another little known reason why the amount is so high…apparently, the bank (which is a separate entity from the manufacturer) uses portions of that fee to pay for an multi-million dollar umbrella policy for their leased vehicles in case the lessee damages property or kills someone. As you know, we live in a very “sue-friend” country and when the plaintiff can’t get money from the defendant, we all know who they sue next.

Acura – $595
Audi – $695
BMW – $725
Buick – $795
Chevrolet – $795
Ford– $595
Honda – $595
Hyundai – $595
Infiniti – $595 $700
Jeep $795 (Ally)
Kia $595
Lexus – $695
Lincoln– $595
Mazda – $595 (Chase)
Mercedes-Benz – $795
Nissan – $595
Porsche – $895
Range Rover – $795
Subaru – $595
Toyota – $650
Volkswagen – $595
Volvo – $695

Special thanks to everyone who has contributed to this list!

Don’t bother asking me about the 2012 G37 numbers because I don’t have them. 2013s are out so that is all I got at the moment. They do not look bad at all, but keep in mind that 2013s are still pretty new so the sale prices may not be as low as you’d like. If you can hold out for the holidays, I suggest you do.

2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – September 2012

Published by G

Bummer, the 18-month lease is no longer around. The 36-month lease terms get a drop in residual AND a bump in money factor (what gives?). Looks like IFS is pushing the 24s now. Can’t blame them, they do look quite good. My estimate below isn’t the most aggressive, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you could improve on that.
