So here are my numbers for a QX55 lease in Florida. I traded in a 2018.5 QX30 Sport with three months left on lease. Given that the only way to get any equity out of an Infiniti lease is going through an Infiniti dealer, I was willing to roll the equity into a new lease. Some dealers were not willing to give me any equity for the lease trade in. For comparison purposes, I shopped car to Carvana, Vroom, ALGO, and GMTV. Vroom was lowest at no equity, ALGO was highest at $3,500 equity. That leads me to believe that the trade equity in this deal is really disguised discount (at least in part). See numbers below.
Enjoy but in the future always do the trade as a separate transaction from your new lease and never put that much down. If you total the car tomorrow that money is gone.
Yes, deal was signed. As for separating the trade from the deal, easier said than done. I was limited to Infiniti dealers. I could not find any dealer who wanted to cash me out of my trade without making another deal. On paper my trade allowance was better than offered through the typical online buying services. All things considered I’m comfortable with the deal.
