January - February Auto Leases - Infiniti G, M3 Convertible, Hyundai Genesis, Honda Civic,

Quote from ussrname : I got in contact with muniala. He says he can do it for me. Hoping he can prove the deal works! Will report back on the results.

Thats great. I hope it works out for you. I will stop complaining for ever if someone (like you or Muniala) confirms at least one deal for $175 per month.

All I see is alot of talk....no proof.....does not even belong in this forum

Quote from bluedevils : This is an interesting thread. My comments are those of an automotive enthusiast and SDer who knows a fair amount about the car business but is NOT in the business and therefore not an expert on selling cars, leasing, etc. OP's math may completely show that a $175/month Infiniti G37 Coupe lease is theoretically possible. I believe that. But stonescotch's point is that, no matter what the math may suggest, a dealer would never do a $175/month deal for that car. Why not? Because they don't have to! I agree that the dealer would not likely use the invoice minus rebate price (approx $30,500 on this car) in the lease calculations. They can get way more $$ than $175/mo for this car, so they are not gonna let it out the door for $175/mo even if someone brings in the math to show that they 'should' do it or 'should be willing' to do it.

I don't see why a dealer won't give you a lease provided they have the car, your credit score is good, and the program exists. Especially when the dealer is trying to make quota, then making money is the second priority. In my opinion, end of a month is always a good time to shop for cars. Once again, you negotiate the lowest possible price when you purchase. You also negotiate the lowest possible price when you lease. To the dealer, a sale is a sale, regardless it's a leasing or purchasing. When you are leasing, don't fall for the car sales car's "how much car payment can you afford a month?" lie.

Great Thread.....I am leasing Noob, thanks a ton for this thread!

Quote from zhaofl : Muniala, I appreciated your effort on the original Infiniti thread since I got a good deal on a 2010 G Sedan. However, looking at the number you put in for the G37 coupe, I think that is where you mixed up the numbers. You can get a low 30k selling price on 2010 G37 coupe, but you won't get the 70% residual. To get the 70% residual on 2011 G37 coupe, you won't get the 30K selling price. You can not put into the best numbers of both year models and plug into the spreadsheet. Don't expect any dealer to do that.

you're totally right - thanks for catching that - i messed up - ill fix it and update the right prices. Its still going to be a very good lease

the original post represents a good amount of effort for sure...reps. OP, can you offer some sort of background information about where you pulled the numbers (manufacturers' websites, auto sites such as intellichoice, edmunds, etc), why you do this, etc? Or if there is a previous thread where you have already explained this, please point us to it.

I still don't think any Infiniti dealer would lease a new G37 for $175 a month.

Like others here, I'm an auto enthusiast, and have even taken some of my cars to track before (when I can afford it).

So I'm going to put this out there. I don't know OP at all. I've seen OP's other thread before, and tried pursuing an Infiniti G37, but ran out of time to follow it through. This current thread drew me in because of the M3 offer. I previously leased an E46 M3 via a previous business, and I loved that car. I paid $750 / mo for a 15K / year lease on a $51K car (base + bixenon HID's, SMG II, PDC), and it wasn't even a drop-top. This current M3 lease is obviously a much better deal.

I've started another business recently. All signs seem to indicate it is doing extremely well out the gate. If this trend continues, I will contact OP to help me lease a sports car again, and would be willing to pay him $500 at the end of the deal to help me out.

So there, I put it out there. Hope to see you guys in a few months.

yeh.. still expensive.

Forget the cars +34190412 for Muniala's awesome 80's haircut in the pic! That's how he gets the great deals...swipe the hair and look deeply into the dealers eyes... "Are you SURE you can't give me the lease for $175?"

If that doesn't work...it's time to break out the Zoobas!



Seriously though, love these threads.

lol +rep for that comment

repped for the hard work alone. .thx. !

I can do better on the Honda Civic LX lease. DCH Honda in Old Biridge NJ is willing to lease a auto Honda Civic LX for $140 per month on a 30 month lease 15K per year mileage and $600.00 drive off out of pocket for the lease. Ask for Andy Lau the salesman at DCH Honda in Old bridge NJ (888)-623-9911. Enuff said go and get ur civics!

op, since you're local to me, can you take me to Glendale Infiniti to pick up a g37?

OP, truly appreciate your effort in posting this type of deals. as a general rule, anytime when one can get a lease for a $30k car at $300+tax per month pmt, min DO(drive off)he/she did very well. that m3 lease with min DO is very attractive.

one thing i would like to point out, while you do negotiate for the best price first, not all "factory incentive(aka trunk money)" will apply to both lease and buy, depends on which month, and what kind of program factory. kind of like buying milk, one week may be $2.75, and another may be 2.95/gal

while it is true as a general rule, you do geta better deal at month end, if dealer has reached the goal/quota, and mgr is getting their bonus for sure, he/she will not push the deal, hence, your deal will get "sand backed" to next month
