at 20,000 km a year — that is $35,025 of the original $62,995 sticker price. The Canadian four-year average across all brands is about 67.5%.
Weak luxury resale; buyouts rarely make sense.
How we work out the projected market value
Projected market value is what we expect the car to be worth on the open market at the end of your 48-month lease — not the buyout price written into the contract. The gap between those two numbers is your equity.
The sum: $62,995 sticker price × 47.0% expected retention = $29,608 at the standard 20,000 km a year, then $0 for driving 20,000 km a year = $29,608. Your contract buyout is $28,348, leaving $1,260 in your favour.
Mileage rule: a used car loses roughly half of what the lease company charges per extra kilometre, so we apply $0 of value per kilometre above or below the 20,000 km baseline (Infiniti charges $0 per excess km), capped at 12% of sticker either way.
Checked against real listings: each week we read what this same nameplate, roughly three model years old, is actually being advertised for on Canadian used-car listings. We take the middle price (trimming the cheapest and dearest tenth so one wreck or one loaded trim cannot swing it), cut 12% off it because a dealer never hands you the retail asking price on a trade, and turn that into the share of the original sticker the car kept. That real figure is blended with the award-anchored projection — up to 65% weight when there are plenty of listings, 35% when the sample is thin, and none at all when fewer than four cars are for sale.
Where the retention figure comes from: a term-by-term forecast for this model, built from how the nameplate resells in Canada and its brand record in the published retained-value awards — Canadian Black Book Best Retained Value and J.D. Power / ALG Canada. Confidence on this one is low. Where no model-specific forecast exists we fall back to the contract buyout percentage, which shows zero equity rather than a guess.
Resale prices move with the used-car market, condition and options. Treat this as a well-informed estimate, not a guarantee.
Handing the keys back
How easy Infiniti makes it to walk away at the end of the lease. 5 means relaxed, 1 means every scuff gets billed.
$500 of wear written off
Scratches, curbed wheels and small dents are the most common surprise bill. Brands that forgive a dollar amount absorb most of it for you.
16¢ per km over your allowance
Driving 5,000 km over on a four-year lease costs about $800 at this rate.
8¢ upfront vs 16¢ after the fact
A real discount for buying kilometres in advance gives you a cheap way out if you know you drive a lot.
$495 return fee
This is charged even on a spotless car, though most brands waive it if you lease from them again.
Adding those four up gives 2.7. We then adjust by +0.8 for how this brand actually behaves at return time — how picky the inspection is and how often bills get waived — which lands on 3.5.
Average strictness; soft luxury resale hurts buyouts.
