My Tahoe died abruptly at about 120k miles in March of 2023. We needed to make a quick decision and she liked the Infiniti QX80. I'd never leased a car before, but they were running 18 month specials and we decided to do that and revisit the market later.Really like the QX80, but the lease expires in a few months. The residual value was estimated at about $60k and that is what it would cost me to buy it at the end of the lease. But the values have cratered since the 2025 will be fully revamped. The retail market value is only about $42- 43k, which I would be willing to pay,
I called Infiniti finance but the dude at the call center wouldn't budge. That makes no sense to me as I'd be willing to pay more than Infiniti finance is going to get at an auction.
Anybody have any luck in negotiating in this situation? Any suggestions?
