Q70 lease price.

[mikelo81]

Hi Guys.

Deciding between a q50 sport and q70 base. What do you guys think. I'm in love with the 70

I got quoted $370 for the q50 sport
And 640-_- q70 sport
Might try and get a base q70 and hopefully bring down that payment.

Thanks!!

Q70 is head and shoulders more luxurious than a Q50. Not even same ballpark.

Is that a 3.7L Q70? How much for the 5.6L?

I'm seeing $349/39 months for a 2017 Q50 3.0t model, $419/39 months for the 2017 Q50 Red Sport 400, $459/39 months for the 2016 Q70 3.7 Sport and $779/39 months for the 2016 Q70 5.6 Sport. No 2017 Q70 lease offers published as far as I know.

If I was going to get the Q50, it would have to be the Red Sport (3.0 twin turbo)

Your original Q was which is preferred. I can NOT agree more that the Q70 is miles better than a Q50. Infiniti have improved the Q50 miles beyond the older G37 - much more refined, musch better ride. However, the Q50 is simply not the same type of car as the Q70. That's like comparing a light weight sport vehicle to a luxo barge.
With that said, leasing is one of the worst options when getting a brand new car. When you lease for 36k or 39k miles, you are paying for all the depreciation on the vehicle. The Q70 drops value like a lead pellet in a glass of water compared to most luxury sedans - that's why the lease is so expensive. If you full-out buy the newest model Q70 (which I don't recommend because next year the front and rear get a face lift), at least you can save on the monthly payments and the warranty will cover everything the same period as the lease ... you will still be driving a car that looks different than the newest (2017) model that everyone else has.
Leasing is best for corporate cars, not personal vehicles. The only benefit is you get a new car every 3 years - but you never stop paying for what you drive - that's almost 12 years of payments for three leases and you own nothing!
Buying an off-lease model at the dealer is a much better deal. This year's Q70 looks no different than the current off lease models. If you lease a 2016, you will still have 2 years of payments while everyone else is driving the re-done 2017 model.

FWIW, isn't next year (2018) a full new generation? In theory, Y52? IIRC, rename in 2014 from Mxx to Q70 and then 2015+ was the front/rear face lift but some interior. IIRC 2018 is going to be a redesign with new interior, new options, etc.

If you keep telling people not to buy new Qs, there will be no more used ones for us to buy. Shhhhh.

I partially agree...in this case, leasing is not a good option, exactly for the reason you stated...however, with a car that does hold its value, leasing is a great option since the lease price is based on the difference between what the car is worth at the beginning and what it is worth at the end...but there are also other issues to consider with a lease, such as restrictions on mileage, custom mods, etc. that one must consider. Also some manufacturers require factory recommended maintenance be performed as part of your lease agreement (you pay), and also require higher levels of insurance coverage. If you're leasing as a business, you should be able to deduct the cost of the lease off your taxes.

Bottom line is you need to examine your particular driving situation, finances, whether or not you like to trade up frequently, etc. and not just look at the lowest monthly payment.

why is it that Infiniti flageship line loose there value? I was just looking at 2015 Q70L with tech MSRP 76K. But they had it marked down to 61K WTF
it was a 2015, they want 50K for the base model. I'm waiting till the 2015's come off lease then I'll buy right out.

All flagships do. A BMW 7-series with 40kmi is about the same as an Infiniti M with 40kmi (+/- a few g's) when the car new sells for like $30k more. At least in 2014 when I was looking at ~2011 Infiniti M's, BMW 7's, Audi A8's, etc.

Luxury cars TANK in the first few years until they get to 3-4yrs old and 40k.

Leasing a Q70 is not a great idea. You can buy them used all day for so much less. I paid $27k for one with 45,000 miles and $24k for one with 28,000 miles. Both of them are fully loaded with the touring package. One of them also has the tech package.

There really is not a better deal than a used M37/Q70 right now.

Thanks guys!
I ended up going job the q50 sport!

There is a good reason why manufactures love leases.
