In March the new lowest factory authorized advertised price for a EX35 monthly lease dropped to $399 per month. Infiniti has started to get aggressive on their EX lease programs which were not great when the car was first launched.

Now dealers are offering zero downpayment programs that are making leasing an EX35 even more attractive. On Santa Monica Infiniti's website (Southern California) they have a ZERO down payment program, with them paying the first month payments. Its the first time I have seen a zero drive off cost EX35 program in California. Maybe ideal with consumers who don't have the typical 1-2K in drive off costs handy in this economy.

The link that shows the Infiniti of Santa Monica example is below:

This may help you negotiate a better deal if you don't live in Southern California.

Well, in the last 24 hours I've gotten two very different lease (money factor and residual) quotes:

A:24 mos: MF = .00025, residual = 63%36 mos: MF = .00064, residual = 52%39 mos: MF = .00070, residual = 51%

B:24 mos: MF = .00050, residual = 63%36 mos: MF = .00080, residual = 52%39 mos: MF = .00095, residual = 51%42 mos: MF = .00130, residual = 49%

Well, 'A' is March's numbers, so that would seem to imply that the April incentives are not as great re leasing...

I was able to get the following today (4/2) - just drove it home

It's still possible to get .00025 with some negotiating.

Woot!

Nice deal!

This just showed up on Edmunds: $2000 dealer cash. This and all others are at:http://www.edmunds.com/new/200...te=NCcheers

Thanks very much for the headsup, kullenberg. Per the incentives page you linked us to at Edmonds the cash incentive to dealers for purchase contracts is extended until 06/30.
