I’m itching to complement my overly practical Focus Electric hatchback with something more sporty, and this doable deal feels like it should be shared. I put this together based on some research from a few sources, and it requires you to be eligible for Infiniti’s VPP program.
Year, Make, Model, and Trim: 2017 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport RWD (this trim is a 400hp competitor to mid grade sport sedans like the 340i, S4, and AMG C 43).
MSRP: $53,035 - lightly optioned
Selling Price: $46,141 - this is 13% off MSRP, which is a great but achievable price based on data from TrueCar for Southern California
Incentives: ~$3,200 VPP - varies by VIN and MSRP, but this amount is just about right
Trade-in: N/A
Months: 39
Annual Mileage: 10k
MF: .00026, reduced to .00001 by 3 MSDs
Residual: 58%
Security Deposit: $1,050
Total Due At Signing: $2,221 ($1,050 MSDs, $345 1st payment, $480 ref/doc fee, $347 taxes on incentive)
Monthly Payment (incl. tax): 345
Leasehackr Score: 14 years
I leased a QX60 from AutoNation Infiniti Tustin last year and they were pleasant to work with, offering deep discounts. I verified that the VPP amount estimated is good for them and other Los Angeles area dealers.
Reviews generally say the Red Sport lacks some of the magic and/or engine noise of competitors like the 340i, S4, or AMG C 43, but it’s still a great deal on a pretty good luxury car with some sportiness in its veins.
I’ve not closed this deal, but wanted to share the parameters in case any out there are in the market. Cheers!
