Re: 2007 m35 vs m45 sport [1qx1m]

Welcome and hope this forum helps. MF and RV are generally not negotiable, however some dealers do try to add just a little to the MF which is apparently allowed by Infiniti finance. The August M35 2007 rates are posted a few pages back. You really have to ask the dealer to run all the cases to see which gives you the cheapest cost of ownership. In July and August, the ...

Detuned the M45 engine?

Written by: knowspinzone on Jul 29, 2006 09:29 AM

I just recently discovered this site and find it a very interesting read. I currently own a '95 Q45a. I love it so its hard for me to justify buying a new car, but I am considering getting an M45 next year. One disappointing thing I saw on the Infiniti web site is the engine now has 325 hp versus 335 in the 2006 model. I would have expected a slight hp boost. I would also have ... Read More...

Not sure how this intersects with nascent debate here, but, following some earlier comments would lead to expectation that German LPS buyers would convey a lot of excitement about their cars. Strategic Vision (SV) has been rating consumer enthusiasm about products in many markets for about a decade. They're method is not one of problem-counting. Rather they ... Read More...

This is an old message (#4224 from Aug 18, 2005) on the Infiniti M35/M45 2006+ forum: The engine in the M35 is almost identical to that found in the G35 and FX35. Both can run on regular. I agree, however, that the V8 should be fed premium (335 hp) and to realize optimum fuel economy premium should be used. The V6 can run quite well on regular. Infiniti only "recommends" ...

Re: 2006 M45 - next step? [stickgs]

Written by: ghstudio on Jul 18, 2006 07:50 AM

sure....you've already done the hard part...you have an actual selling price. Now just ask them to use that in calculating a lease. The residual percent is off the MSRP. The MF and residuals should come directly from Infiniti's charts (ask them to show them to you). Just watch out for additional add-on costs...origination fee and registration fees are normal ...

Re: 2007 M45's on the lot in Atlanta [lurker]

Written by: ghstudio on Jul 13, 2006 02:37 PM

This sounds an awful lot like a dealer who is giving up the infiniti franchise and trying to unload 2006's before they give infiniti's up completely. No serious dealer would not order 2007 cars. Alternatively, they may have just too many over equipped cars and they are desparate to sell them so they tell you what they think will help them dump those cars. Doesn't ... Read More...

Hi chucky2. The lease program for the 2006 Infiniti M35 and M45 varies depending upon the exact model that you want. For now I will assume that you are interested in a base 2006 Infiniti M35 Sedan. Let me know if you want something different. If you were to lease this car through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy ... Read More...
