Note:
1) These are suggested prices. You will need to do your homework and negotiate to get these payments. As such everything is YMMV. All I'm trying to do is sharing my knowledge to help the SD community. I've used LA county tax rates in the examples. These are some of the highest in the country. Use your own local rates to calculate your leases with tax

2) You can do better or do worse based on your negotiating skill and other factors.

AFAIK these are all national programs, but there may be regional differences.
3) In cases where the leasing bank allows Multiple Security Deposits, the maximum number of deposits is assumed

4) Cars shown are with options I have chosen and are for indication only. You can calculate the payments based on the exact options/MSRP of any other car you like.

5) In most cases the selling price is based on the lowest quote for southern California at truecar.com. In other cases it is based on actual prices from dealers.

6) Most widely applicable Rebates/incentives are factored in where applicable. Check http://www.edmunds.com/car-incentives/ for details of specific incentives. In some cases you will qualify for additional incentives (eg College Grad, Military) which will lower your payment even more.

Infiniti G currently have $1000 loyalty cash if you are NMAC returning lessee/customer. This would lower your payment even more from that given above.

Dealer marketing cash incentives are factored directly into the selling price. Only Customer Rebates/incentives are shown separately.For example the 2011 Infiniti G have $1000 dealer cash right now.

7) Please refer to my other lease threads here on slickdeals for more leasing info/help Definitely read the wikis at least in these two threads.
Infiniti lease thread
BMW lease thread

8) Also check Edmunds Leasing Forums for more help/information
http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/.../.ef17997/

9) Always deal with the internet/fleet department and negotiate everything over the phone/email If the dealer is not willing to do that just move on to another dealer

10) Some dealers with decent fleet/internet sales departments
In Southern CA for BMW: BMW of Monrovia, South Bay BMW, Bob Smith BMW, New Century BMW
For Hyundai: Glendora Hyundai in Los Angeles area
In the east coast - Internet dealer http://fitzmall.com/
Dallas Area : http://www.dallas-hyundai.com/web...types/New/
For Infiniti : Glendale Infiniti

11) For BMW leases, If you are not a current BMW Financial Services customer (lessee, loan current or within the last 6 months) you need to provide one security deposit to get the base money factor used in the examples

12) For BMW leases, certain models have lower "loyalty" money factors if you are a current or recent (less than 6 months) BMW FS customer. For example the money factor on the M3 convertible drops from 0.0009 to 0.0006 for loyalty.

13)
Updated the lease numbers on the 2011 G37 base coupe.Thanks to user zhaofl for catching it and pointing it out. Whilst some others were slanging me, he at least looked at the numbers and noticed the error and pointed it out. There is an additional $1000 cash for current iInfiniti owners/lessees which Ive not factored in. If you do qualify your lease payment will be roughly $25 lower than what I have in the spreadsheet. Just run the numbers yourself.
I will add a new section for the 2010 G37 base coupe just as soon as I get the residuals/mf from my dealer contacts. Based on the current 3000 incentive, if those numbers are good, the leases should be really attractive.

14) Updated : Added a few more cars to the list.
---BMW 335d includes a $3500 Eco Credit incentive for an attractive lease. In addition you may qualify for Federal Tax Credit for diesel/hybrid vehicles. Same may be available on X6 ActiveHybrid
--- BMW 328i & 335i sedan leases are decent not great. They were much better last month and should get better in the future.
--- Infiniti M37 and FX35 leases are good - Some of the best I've seen on these models


---------------------------

Lots of skepticism on the Infiniti Numbers. Infiniti G37s tend to lease well. The current deals are even better than the ones in the recent past. For the skeptics here are some deals other sders got last year. If you want an Infiinti lease, this is not a bad time. Instead of being skeptical , do your homework and negotiate

There are many more examples in the thread. Almost all matched or beat the original numbers I posted

BTW --- if you read the slickdeals thread, people were doubting his $175/mo G37 coupe lease deal --- he claims its true and can get the deal right now --- it IS with a refundable security deposit, how much I don't know.

funny to read the comment tho.

More proof (as if we didn't have enough) on how Infiniti sells, cheapo leases. BMW leases are attractive too, wow.

Man, a loaded 2011 G37 coupe for less than $340 a month? How can they even make money off that?

the m3 deal is pretty true i can confirm. bmw put a very hard push on m3 sales (including leases) towards the end of last year and were giving out insane deals. 600 bucks for a m3 with a lot of options, that's quite incredible.

lexmenow

I guess the cost to build is not what we thing if they have that much headroom.

I wonder percentage of people lease. I leased a car once and I know I'll never do it again.

i say a very significant portion. in areas where i live, i am pretty good at what everyone drives. a lot of times i see them changing cars after 3 yrs or so

leasing is not for everyone. but for certain type of people / living style, leasing can be a great idea

A BMW salesman told me leases are about 70% of the deals at his dealership Paul Miller BMW Wayne,NJ.Sounds like a lot but it's possible with expensive vehicles.

IS-SV

Yes and for certain self-employed professionals, significant tax advantages must be considered too.
