yeah the sales man was saying that the color/spec we were looking at in an 08 was going to be a hard find, however it would be approx $525 over 3yrs with the 12k milage per year. when asked what an 09 same color/spec etc would be he said it would be more as its an 09. well, i didn't think their would be much difference due to the fact its the same car(as far as i know infinity only did a few minor interior/tech updates) so......is he just telling me a load of garbage? can anyone give me some advice also on trying to negotiate a good deal on a lease? never leased a car before, always bought. have no problems getting really good deals on purchases. how much room do you have for negotiations on a lease? do they have a kinda fixed mark on leases and they don't have much room to go down on prices or what? any advice/tips would be very much appreciated!!!

I am sure the '08 has better lease rates, that would not shock me at all, therefore you will get a better deal on the '08.....you have to keep in mind that regardless of the minor changes made, the dealer (and Infiniti) want to move the '08 off the lots. THE VERY BEST THING YOU CAN DO......get some lease quotes from as many other dealers as possible, be very specific about the model you want and the terms you are looking for. Don't come off as wishy washy, tell the dealer exactly what you want, and tell every dealer the same thing. Good luck shopping!
