You can also replace just the front bumper if you like the 2011 look.

Unless you plan on owning that lease when it's up it s a huge waste of money.

okay so i got a quote from cerritos infiniti and i got my car appraised at 36000 they told me that i can get 36000 at the most... so i worked some nmbers out with them, and if i pay 2000 up front, the monthly price will rise to 485, 3000 up front, itll be 450... right now i pay 405 a month, but to get it down to 400 flat, they told me that i have to pay 6000 up front and thats out the door price... is it really worth it, or should i try another dealership?? or just wait it out??

I love my manual, but some people have a hard time with the clutch on the G37, so if I were you I'd drive one before making any big decisions. You might like the automatic better.

How much do you owe? You need to find out what the buy out cost is, then you'll know how much you have to pay out of pocket if the dealer offers you $36000. Call Infiniti or check online if you have an account, don't ask the dealer. $6K up-front means you're in the hole for about $4K, but you need to double check.

36K sounds high. I doubt I can get more than 33k on my 2010 2 months old coupe w/ 1K miles, sticker price is a little more than 43K.

The $2K/$485 is the better deal of the three, assuming the $2K is total out the door money. I don't think you'll do better. You can try another dealer to compare numbers.

Well, that's a good thing. Actually, I think those numbers are pretty good considering that you can walk away from your 5 months old car.

i just called the dealer again and they told me its 485 without tax... so in total itll be about 515 or 520, somewhere around there... but thats for a 39 month lease, so i asked him to work out a 48 month lease will be and hopefully it goes down...

I'd avoid 'swapalease' if you have an IFS lease, I heard they don't release you from financial responsibility even with the swap, if the 3rd party stops paying, you're still liable.


go buy a helmet and play bumper cars.

its def not worth paying all that money to get the same car.

At the end of the day, it'll be your decision. I do think you're making a mistake. I'll tell you again what I told you a few days ago:

Option 1: Finance the car and sell it privately.

Option 2: Negotiate a lease without the trade-in included (don't mention that you want to trade in your new car.) After you agree to a price, include the trade in the deal. For example, if you owe $37,000 and the dealer offers you $36,000, then you'll add $1000 to the lease to pay the difference. Get it? Of course, the dealer will low-ball the car and you'll pay more than if you sell it privately. The payoff amount is what you owe to the bank, and it's not the residual.

Go to Infinitifinance.com and get your Payoff quote. Follow this instructions:

To get a payoff on your NMAC/IFS account:

a. Go to Statement and click View Payoff Quote
b. Click the For Account drop-down box to select the account you wish to view and click Continue. The page displays your payoff information.

After you get your Payoff quote, you'll know how much you owe. Deduct the dealer's offer from the payoff balance and that's the amount you will add to the lease. Of course, it won't be that easy. You have to negotiate with the dealer; and please do your homework, learn your math, and look like you know what you're doing.

Good luck
