Anyone know what the residual value of the g37x coupe is? I'm looking to lease a new one, and i'm trying to figure out where my payments should be. I recently got quoted 640 a month with 3 grand down, and that seems way too high for me.

 

Seems high. Why would you put money down on a lease?

 

^Yeah, no money down on a lease or say bye-bye

 

Well I figured that i would put a few grand down from my 04 g35 trade in to lower my monthly payments. I purchased my 04 g35 with navi for $37,500 out the door, $12,600 down and my payments were $486.02. I don't really want to pay over 600 dollars a month for a car. Is it really that bad of an idea to put money down on a lease?

Does anyone know what residual value is in the meantime? Thanks in advance.

 

It's a horrible idea to put money down on a lease. Even the sales guys will tell you that.

Just send your down payment to me and I'll send you a picture of what I buy with your money.

talk them down, if that doesn't work walk out and go somewhere else.

 

May be too early to establish the residuals on an '09. I'm sure someone will chime in on that. The problem with the deposit is if you total your car, the deposit goes with it. You wil NEVER see that money again.

 

I'm from chicago too, i was just curious where you bought your car from. I've been to Fields in Glencoe and Libertyville to negotiate prices, and haven't been happy at either place. I think I'm going to hit up Motor Werks in Barrington next.

 

So why is it such a bad idea to put money down? You either pay it now, or pay it over the lease term. So unless you have some high interest account, does it really make a big diff?

What about putting down a safety deposit to lower your interest rate, is that a good idea?

 

I ordered mine from Field's in April 2007 and received it in August 2007. I paid MSRP for one of the first in Chicago. They are a great dealer.

Are the '09's even rolling yet? I thought they were still locked up until they move out most of the '08s.

 

Don't waste your time with Motor Werks. I checked them out when I was shopping for my coupe. They were absolutely worthless to work with. Its not worth your time.

 

According to Libertyville Fields, the 09's should are arriving in two weeks, they only have a demo now. Thanks for all your help guys.

 

There are 09 Coupes on dealership lots in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Infiniti North Shore has a couple and International Auto has a few.

 

May be different in US, I'm in Canada, just bought my X and had a 48% residual on my contract. Unfortunately 6.9% interest (a little high compared to the 08 'deals' ... but to get the X, had to go 09 and no deals on their hottest car here in snow country.
And yes, no money down.

 

48%.. ouch. look at the 08 values..

Yeah I can confirm that cuz I got the same deal. 49% residual. 6.65% APR cuz I'm a returning customer. No incentives, but I was able to get some money off MSRP negotiating with my dealer, who was quite reasonable.

But that was a couple of weeks ago. He called last night to inform me that my car had arrived, and in talking, he said that Infiniti (in canada at least) have dropped the residuals even further. I'm not sure what the new percentage is. But yeah, the economy ain't doing wonders for leasing.....
