Took it to a shop to get the Bluetooth fixed and someone backed into it. That someone was an employee.

Dang that sucks, let me guess, the guy wasn't paying attention and backed up at a pretty high speed.

Ding, ding, ding, we have ourselves a winner.

Oh, and they tried to hide the car in one of their garages, as if I wasn't going to come back for my car.

Re: OS Cars Thread

Infiniti! Love the Nissan/Infiniti look and performance.

I think BK owns a G37, I'm sure he can tell you just how awesome it is.

The FX is also a gorgeous ride.

I have a G37 and an EX35.. 2nd generation of Infiniti's we've bought. Can't say enough about them. For me, perfect combination of features, comfort, amenities and performance.

Almost went the Audi route instead of the EX35.. I think they've got a great lineup.

The only downside with Audi, is cost. By that I mean, repair costs.

Audi notoriously will run you a lot. For a lease, it's fantastic. If you are buying, no so sure.

Although I believe they are trending upwards in that regard.

Yeah I think their reliability has gotten better. I only lease, since I put so few miles on the cars, so all that kind of stuff ends up being covered. Plus if you time it right, Infiniti has some smokin' lease deals.

What I really liked about the Audi's is their fit and finish in the interior is the best I've seen imo. The overall craftmanship is outstanding. For example their cars don't have a rough edge on them. Not under the hood, not in the trunk now here. They are just put together well. My only issue is the performance doesn't match what I already have in the Infinti's. Say one thing for Nissan, they don't skimp on handling or horsepower when it comes to their luxury sedans or SUV's.

I am really liking what I see in the JX. That may be my next ride when the EX lease expires.

Leasing makes sense in a lot of situations. A lot of people pass on leasing because they don't know much about it. However, be careful, you can easily get skimped in leasing.

I worked out a 'favorable' lease on the Maxima. $360 a month after 3K down.

Before I got it, I went to see a Acura TL, laughable. Not entirely sure if the lady didn't think I was serious or not, but she quoted me numbers that should be quoted for a car in the 70s-80s not mid 40s. -_-

I've been leasing for over a decade now. i am pretty locked in on it. Infiniti has great customer retention incentives as well for people that have leased in the past.

When we turned in our 2008 G35 I got the 2011 G37 for basically nothing down, and my monthly payment went up about 15 dollars.

Definitely. Retention counts. At the end of the day, if you are getting something you are comfortable with, that's all that matters.

I've heard horror stories though.

I have now leased 6 cars with Nissan/Infiniti starting with my 350z and Xterra through my G37 and EX35. Never had one issue.

But yeah, I have heard those same stories.

Re: OS Cars Thread

I have though about leasing once I graduate college. I have an 08 Silverado my parents bought me back in 2010 that I will be taking over payments for this time next year. Somewhere around $370 for another two years once I take them over I think.

Someone said earlier they put down 3K and were paying $360 a month? I guess I don't understand the concept. Are you not responsible for repairs or something?

Me either. You pay 16,000 dollars for a 3 year lease and own nothing at the end of it. Plus, you are only allowed to drive 12,000 miles a year.
