Details of my G37 purchase (VPP)
Hello folks,
After a good amount of lurking and reading, I finally took the plunge and bought my Obsidian Black G37S 6MT on friday. I bought from Kirkland Infiniti here in Seattle, and used the VPP program.
My specs:
OB G37S 6MT
Premium pkg
Navi pkg
Rear spoiler
Illuminated door sills - for some reason all my friends love this, cant figure out why.
Splash guards
Trunk net/cargo mat
MSRP is 42895.
Invoice is 39167.
I paid VPP pricing, which came to about 39355, plus acquisition fee ($595), DMV licensing fee ($195) and my first month's payment.
My lease is $544/mo including WA tax @ 9.1%.
0 down, 36 mos, 12k miles/year, residual was 62%.
I found the G37 lease spreadsheet at http://www.bdlhome.com/bdlleasecalc/index.htm very helpful - thanks 'bdlhome'. It is SPOT on - my monthly payment is exactly what the spreadsheet predicted.
I took my laptop with me to the dealership with my various spreadsheets. Initially they offered me the old 0.00245 rate, which I flat out refused. I told them I would only do 0.00192, which is what IFS is offering in Feb on the G37. Note that this is only being offered on the 36 month lease - the 39 month has the same residual (which is good), but has the higher 0.00245 rate.
I verified their final numbers by plugging them into my excel model - they fit :-)
I also found this chart tracking monthly payments over time pretty helpful - http://www.dwynne.com/infiniti/feb_payments.jpg (Note that this is for a G with premium pkg only). I found this chart over on the Edmunds town hall talk forum.
I really like this car so far. I need to get myself some all-weather floor mats - its always raining in Seattle!
Cheers,
Aakash
