The VPP program doesn’t make Infiniti quite worthwhile to buy new. Miserably low residual values, to the point that the extremely generous incentives and rebates don’t make their leases competitive, unless you can get nearly 20% off sticker. Financing a clean 2018 or 2017 would be more reasonable if you REALLY want an Infiniti for some reason.
They had a shot. A real shot at being… ‘someone’ other than that other guy compared to Lexus who really notched out a spot for themselves. But in a bizarre twist of fate, they had no follow up product to the hot product they produced in 2013 with screaming leases. Like nothing. And Lexus took an entire chapter our of GM’s ‘what not to do with an entire brand’ but seemingly only producing RX and ES vehicles as far as grandma’s eyes can see. I actually sort of liked Infiniti. Considered one for a fleeting moment.
I tried to get out of my q50 early to avoid buying new tires and my dealers best offer was 5.1% off MSRP pre incentives… Told me they are selling TONS of cars still lol Tried to sway me by telling me VPP is going away, oh boy…
