Arkansas Infiniti Car Dealers

is this cash bk 2500 in liew of discount for being end of yer\ar model ??

Dennis, Thank you for the links. I also researched on my own this morning, but just wanted to hear the opinions of some of the posters/readers here on this forum. I have decided not to buy any accessories from the dealer. I will get the tint and clear bra from Xpert here in Houston, who do lots of the high-end cars around town. That also makes it easier for me to return for any warrant stuff if something goes wrong with the clear bra or it doesn't hold up as well as its supposed to. I also agree that it is overkill to do too much -- especially given the cost. I will just do the front 18-24" of the hood and fenders, plus the mirrors and front bumper. That should provide most of the benefit. Jeff

Anyone have some insight into the Infifnity Pre-Paid Maintenance package. They ar eoffering a Premium maintenance package paid upfront for $1000 savings. All reccomended services are done in this plan. anyone have detaisl or info about this?

I pointed out the discrepency to the dealer and they rectified it to my satisfaction. Here is the rewritten final deal: MSRP 52,510 CAP COST 49660 (1K over invoice plus 550 acquisition fee minus 33.54 cap reduction[long story]) 42mos 610.06 + 47.28tax = 657.34/mo MF 0.00205 (I was shown their finance sheet to confirm that this is the base MF for 42 mos) Residual 59% (This is according to my calculations) I'm happy with the deal. Aside from a couple of attempts at padding the MF, it was pretty straight forward. This was in Orange County, so. Cal. For those who are newbies venturing into the dark and foggy lease-land, I have a couple of pointers. Hammer out the cap cost. This is one of two key negotiation points. For me felt I would be happy with 1k over invoice and so I made that offer and it was accepted without haggling. Don't negotiate on the monthly amount, the dealer with throw out an irrelevant number and do all sorts of crazy stuff. Find out the base money factor for the term of the lease. It seems to vary slightly depending on the length. Have the dealer commit to the rate, in writing if possible. Find out the residual for the term of the lease. This is set and non-negotiable. This does vary slightly among different banks but if you ar going through the manufacturer's lease program, it is set. There is a sweet spot for the monthly payment. For the M45 it is 42 mos. The monthly payment is approx $50 less for the 42 mos compared with 36 mos. I don't think I'll have any problems keeping the car for another 6 mos, so I was happy to do it. Have the dealer e-mail you the exact terms for the lease, including the MF and cap cost, before you go in to sign the papers and cross check with your own calculation using the edmunds calc. Or you can use this site: http://www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm It is a little simpler to use than the edmunds site. If you find a discepency, point it out nicely. I think most high end dealer will play nice but they might need a bit of nudging. Pretty simple, you just have to keep your eyes open and know your numbers. Dave

Not bad! You ar in NJ right? Did you go to Douglas in Summit? I just went there tonight for a test drive I am also looking at the G35x AWD sedan. Any advice?
