Sorry to hear about the poor service you got when you completed your purchase. BTW, great price! Try going back to the service dept for the clock. I've always had great service at the 3 dealerships I've used in the past, and they always treated me with respect. My I35 has been at the dealer service since last Friday. Had a bad oxygen sensor replaced, and had them look at a little bubble that developed in the dash. They tried to fix it yesterday, but it didn't look good, so they're replacing the whole dash panel, which won't arrive until tomorrow. Thankfully, I have the free loaner! And since I live 1.5 hours away, they let me keep the loaner until the part arrives and the car is fixed, rather than making me come back a second time.

Well, I was respected, but the salesperson spent very little time with me. I spent another 20 minutes for the rest of the night trying to figure out which button activated which feature and stuff like that. I was actually a little surprised at how little time the sales spent with me, considering the fact that at the Honda dealer where I bought my Odyssey the salesperson gave me a full rundown of all the features and showed me all the owners manuals.
 
I'm missing the Maintenance guide from the I35, so I'll go get that from the dealer when I bring it in for the clock repair.

..... Perhaps I don't agree with the salesmans 3 minute delivery ... but you did get a Great price on the vehicle .. pre-owned 04's with 9/11/15k are getting pretty close to the $26ish figure on the retail side ... enjoy it, it's a nice ride ..........

So Far by jchan2

The car feels like its worth every penny. Smooth power delivery. Nice ride. Quiet interior (Quieter than my Odyssey) and all for $25,800. Not to mention I get the prestige of driving an Infiniti...

Well, I remember somebody posting that they paid $26,500 for one with Cold Weather and Satellite Radio.
 
Might want to quote me on that. I quoted that poster (I forget his name) and ended up getting the dealer down to the price I paid.
 
Quirk Infiniti (Braintree MA) has I35s with Cold Weather I think advertised for $25,999. I guess you could mention this fact (printing out a copy of the ad would be a good idea) and see whether they match it or not.
 
If you do a Google search for "Quirk Infiniti" You'll end up at their dealer website. Look around for its newspaper ads. That's where you'll find the I35 ad.

eBay by jchan2

Herb Chambers Infiniti in Boston has an I35 (Brilliant Silver/Willow) listed on eBay with no options. The current bid is around $15,100. I think there's a reserve, but it seems like a good deal to me.

First Impressions: 2002 I35 by rawdad
Mar 09, 2005 (7:48 am)
Well, I just bought a used 2002 I35. Paid 18,800 for it from Ramsey Infiniti in NJ - Dealers in Rochester, NY expect 21k+ for a similar one. Has 16000 miles, winter package, spoiler and a few other options. I have driven it about 600 miles so far and I have the following impressions.
1)Ride is much softer than I expected. I heard a lot of people on this forum and elsewhere say that the ride is too firm. Maybe because my last car was a 99 I30T with the firmer suspension, I am used to having a "rougher" ride. I actually prefer the tighter suspension.
2)The front seat room seems less than my 99 I30. I have the seat all the way back and it still seems cramped. I am 6"1" which isn't that tall. I feel sorry for somebody that is taller
3)The heated seats take quite a long time to warm up
4)Gas mileage has never been a complaint with me in my I30 and so far, it is averaging around 23 to 24 mpg - considering it has 55 hp more than my I30 which got about the same MPG, I have no complaints with the fuel consumption
5)The sunroof glass could use more tinting. Too bright with the sunshade open
6) Interior storage compartments and cupholders are EXCELLENT!
7) Faux wood grain is better than I thought it would be. I don't think it looks too fake and it does seem durable.
8) Acceleration is tremendous! My 99 I30 was fast - very fast - but the I35 is awesome! When you compare to a Lexus ES300, it blows the doors off it. Why the ES300 outsells the comparable infiniti models, I will never know.
9) Xenon's aren't that bright. Disappointing. Maybe I just expected it to be much better - actually, except from the color of the light, it doesn't illuminate the road any better.
10) Appearance: I still think it is one of the better looking cars on the road. For a sedan that can seat 5 (I have 3 kids) this is an awesome vehicle. Sporty, luxurious and yet practicle. I am not one of those minivan or SUV type people. I love a touring sedan but need the practicality of a larger car for hauling the family. This car does it all for me.
 
That is my top 10. Comments appreciated. I am one very happy Infinit owner!

Thanks for your informative post. How did you get the mpg? Is this from the driver info center or did you actually figure it out from fill-up to fill-up? Is the 23-24 a mixture of city/hwy or what? What mpg does it get on the hwy?
     Do you have the sport package on this I35?
     You got a great price!
