As for the leasing question...

I think there are a lot of factors that go into it, but I really think it is the best choice for me currently.

First, as Beer Magazine points out, the financial really aren't that bad for a car with a high residual and on an awesome deal like this.

Second, I'm in a transition phase of my life. Right now the G37 coupe makes sense for me. I am late 20s and single with no kids. I don't know what the next few years really look like for me. I could be married and have children in five years. I could be living in a place where I don't need a car (my job wants me to move to San Francisco eventually).

Also, I have never had a fun car like this before. I've only had things that were very boring to drive. I think I'm going to find it addicting, but who knows?

 

Go for it man! I leased my 2011 G37xS Coupe for $425 a month/36months, 15K Miles, No money down just taxes and other fees upfront! Has everything except Tech Package. You'll be so happy after you drive off the lot!!!

 

It is, but it isn't. There are only so many ***** they can turn and I believe I understand all of them (and have built a leasing calculation spreadsheet to help).

MSRP is 48,385
Selling price is 41658.
MF is .00074
Residual is .56.

That seems great to me. Tell me if I am missing something.

 

Exactly! So negotiate the *****, not the end result

 

Great selling price!. W/ that residual is it a 15K/year lease?

MF is higher than their base rate.... If you have really bad credit, probably out of luck,..........if you have at least semi-good credit, then the dealership is ripping you off on the MF

 

I just picked up the car yesterday and got an even better deal. They added the spoiler and midnight grille package for almost no additional money. I also did MSDs and saved a ton of money!

My deal ended up being:

MSRP: 48, 385
Selling Price: 41,658.
MF: .00004 (thanks to MSDs)

In total...my payment is $446 a month for a 2012 G37 Coupe Journey with Sport, Nav, Premium, Illuminated Kick Plates, Spoiler, Midnight Black Grille, and trunk mat/first aid kit/net.

I'm psyched and am LOVING the car so far.

I'm looking at leasing one as well what's the name of the dealership and who is sells man giving you this great deal

 

MSD's? What dealer did you get this at? In Cali? Im working with my local dealer now Im thinking of taking this deal to them and seeing if they can match it....

 

The dealer was in the south-east, but asked that I don't identify them.

MSDs are multiple security deposits. In essence, you can put down a larger deposit on the lease in order to lower the money factor. If you can afford to do it, it is potentially a great investment.

 

Not all states allow MSDs. Not sure why.
