You are being offered 10% off MSRP which is the standard most dealers offer as 1st offers to all inquiries.
My deal is almost 25% off MSRP. You have a long way to go to be close to that.
The sport version usually have better residuals but this month they are same so you need to target to get at least 20% discount.
I am in NY metro area and your prices will depend on how much competition you have in your market.

That is an awesome deal for a $46k car! Infiniti must have some big kickbacks to the dealers to offer these discounts off msrp.
Contacted my local dealer and they wouldn’t budge at all besides the initial discount and incentives they showed which was about 9k. Like they wouldn’t even consider lowering the price
I received numbers from a local dealer - they were for the sport model and not the premium. This is my first time calculating lease numbers by hand, so I’m sure I did something incorrect as I’m not getting to the same number as the dealership. Anyone care to review the numbers to let me know where I could improve the deal (other than getting a lower selling price) or let me know what I may have calculated incorrectly? The money down covers all the fees and 1 month of payment at the rate they calculated.
I’m assuming that I should not have listed the down payment including the first month payment or any of the fees.
(also sorry - don’t mean to hijack thread - just didn’t know if this was better suited adding on to this thread or posting a new one)
It is not clear what you are suggesting. You are being told that there is 9K in incentives but you are offered a little less than 5K in discount compared to MSRP.
Also they don’t pay invoice price to procure the vehicle let alone MSRP.
So pretty much what you should ask for is 9K below invoice which will bring your selling price in line with mine which is around 11.3K below MSRP.
@clee920, moving to this thread instead for more opinions…
@HN308 and others, what do you think of the following offer she received on a 2.0T?
Even without knowing all numbers - it’s a very good deal: under $300/mo on a $42K car and 25% off MSRP with only first month due.
This is incredible…
Is there some secret you can share that gets Infiniti to melt their price?
Did you just ask for that big of a discount?
There is no secret involved.
I just ask for the factory incentive available to dealers for a particular month and than deduct it from invoice price. In Jan it was around 8-9K depending on the model so that gets me to around 25% discount.
I feel they have priced Q50 way to high and have to than discount it to move more units. If this same car was priced around 40K the discount wouldn’t be much more than 5K effectively bringing the selling price in same territory.
Look at my other thread from December when I got my own car for $298 with tax included.
Now the dealer knows me well and gives me the best price upfront without any haggling.

I need to know the exact MF and residual to tell you if this is a good deal or not. Based on my calculation there is a down payment or a cap cost reduction involved to get this monthly payment and I am absolutely against it.
Savings of $10,335 is not that great provided there is almost 9-10K factory incentive on the 2.0T. You should get at least 2K more in discounts as the 2.0T doesn’t sell much and if this is 1st offer you got via email than you can get that much reduction for sure.
Also when did you get this offer also makes a difference. if you got it last few days of Jan things might be different now.
Also with Q50 leases don’t bother with MSD as the MF is so low that monthly interest is less than $2 dollars.
Get the exact breakdown and let me know and we will help you here to put togather a good deal.

I see.
Are you suggesting that the dealership volunteers to tell us these factory incentives - just by asking?
If so, is there a source that would tell us all the factory incentives?
They won’t volunteer to give you incentives info but you can learn about the incentives from forums like this or edmunds,com lease deal thread for any particular model.
Once I know the ball park discount the factory is offering I add another 1K-2K to it and suggest the dealer that he is getting that from factory. Usually at that point the dealer suggests its not that high and only X less than my number. I wouldn’t still believe what I get from the dealer at that time and confirm it with 2-3 more dealers and that way I know what the incentives are and they remain same for rest of the month.
I have had dealers show me the incentive sheet they get from IFS for the month specially when I am in person at dealership but I don’t suggest going to dealership to negotiate. You only go there to test drive the car and than to pick up once the deal is done…
Thank you for everything you post here.
I have read literally every post you have made from the beginning.
You are a treasure here. And I appreciate you.
I agree. I see that now. I responded with @HN308’s information and asked for an exact breakdown but they have all gone quiet, haha! I will wait and update with a response.
Thank all you all again!
It did sound too good to be true to get such a deal without negotiation 
Hi. This looks like a great deal. Would you be able to PM me the dealer info please? I’m in the market for an SUV but this seems too good to pass up.
Are you people serious? 24% discount with no haggling… LMAO. There is 2100 dollars approximately built in to the car between invoice and MSRP. A few hundred dollars for advertising assistance and stair step money which tops out at approximately 1500 dollars. 3600 to net zero for the dealer. And he’ll save you the remaining 8500 because you’re nice and he likes you, right? Walk in to any dealer and tell him ou want a 25% discount off MSRP… Then duck! And Infiniti NEVER incentivizes their vehicles that high right after introduction. 2.0T, Yes. 3.0T? I call BS
So is this woman from Des Moines lying?
She claims that she got an Infiniti Q50 AWD 3.0t Premium Plus at a 22% discount:
