I think I'm screwed.

i'll be honest with you -- everyone got spoiled by the old rates of the Infiniti models -- especially w/ older sedan clients moving $100-$150 more per month for the '07 G's.... thats the market.... same goes for myself looking for a home... i can't go back and say , hey you paid $400k for it, i want to buy it at $400k not $700k
unfortunately infiniti is moving upstream and the leases will do so as well... i will say it'll probably have lower leases later on but not where everyone was paying for 12 month leases

So do you think they will go down by July if next year?
If so, by how much...

I will follow up with him again, but I was a little disappointed with the treatment after he realized I wasn't going to put a deposit down. I think he thought he had an easy sale and that I would just pay whatever since I own an '04 and since I was so eager to see the car and drive it. This was even more annoying because he expected me to put money down on a 6MT after only driving a base...not likely.

My salesman called me after I emailed him about the money factor and the residual. The money factor for my deal was 0.00335, and the residual was 62%. He also told me that he got the payment down to $575/month, but since the car would not arrive until November, the money factor and residual could change, thus changing my payment. So, I would have to pay him a non-refundable $1,000 deposit only to not really know what I'll be paying for the car. It just seems more and more illogical to order a car...he might as well quote me $400/month since he doesn't really know what I'll have to pay.

That residual would be right for 36 mos on an 08 sport with 15K miles/yr.
The money factor, however, should be .00285 - anything higher than that is going in the dealer's pocket. Right now that's .0005 he's pocketing- And that'll make a big difference on your monthly payments.

That's what I thought. This was for 39 mos. and 12k/yr. He also told me that he could get me the same car without the illuminated kickplates and without a rear spoiler next month for $550/month and add the spoiler later at the dealer's internal cost. All that his call told me was that there actually is some wiggle room with these cars and that, if you're patient, you can probably end up in a car you want at a more reasonable price. We'll see how it plays out the next few months.

Time to vent a little...
I have a 2004 Lexus SC430 on which I still owe 2 payments...
Listen to this brainiac move on their part:
They wanted to add the additional payments owed onto the MSRP, and then take it out of the inception cost. In their view, it was a wash!!!
Essentially, I would have to pay tax and interest on something that i'm already paying tax and interest on!!! Brilliant!!! This drove the monthly price up by a nice $40.
As far as inception costs... listen to this crap!!! $2500 in fees... WTF???
As far as I remember, it's a first month,bank fee and title/tag. First month should be at most 700 and bank fee is 600 (IFS). Title/tag should be another $300... which brings it to $1600... they were making a profit of 900 just out of dealer fees, etc...
What are everyone's thoughts?

Well you also have to consider the car is a few weeks old so demand is HIGH!!! which jacks the price up a bit. I was also turned off by Infiniti pricing so i made the switch over to BMW. But i do love that growl of the g37. wow.

When I was pricing out the 335i fully loaded it was running me in the low 50s (same options as the G37). Payments were in the 800s.
There's no doubt that you can make the switch to a 328 with moderate options and pay considerably less, but if we're to compare apples to apples... how much was it?
