I know this thread is full of questions about lease deals and what not, but I am a true newb. I have never leased and I have never owned an Infiniti. So this is the lease quote I received from Infiniti of Columbus. The sale price seems high, but not for sure about what a good price would be on a lease deal, since the incentives don't apply. Please provide any constructive feedback or comments that you feel will help me. I don't mind the dealer making a profit, but I don't want to pay for their kids' first year of Ivy League school either.

56% residual = $21938
12K miles/yr
.00141 (I was told this is equal to about 3.4%)
The only down payment would be the first month's payment.

With $2000 down $496 a month including tax

 

Pm da mayor. He can hook you up.I know many happy cusomers of his.

 

id say thats a good deal

 

Personally Id rather pay the extra 100 a month and own the car. If you can afford 550, whats another 100 a month to own.

My car listed for about the same price and I am paying 659 a month tax in. At the end of three years I will have the option to keep it or sell and might have a few grand in equity. I almost bought a new car this past weekend and my car was appraised at a little more then I owed on it. So after another year and a half I will probably be up even more.

 

Leasing cars sucks... This is my first lease and I have a deal structured very similar to what you were offered. In the end I'm locked in to this stupid lease that I can't get out of. +1 on the pay the extra 100 a month and own the car. Gives you a ton of more flexibility if life situations or the boredom bug hit.

 

Seems high, im paying 399 with 5000 down, selling price was 40K

 

For a lease that is average, which is why I would agree that it'd be a lot better to go for owning the car. If you own your car, they can't bother you about switching parts out too
