#263 of 293 Re: 2004 I35 [jchan2] by teebone Apr 23, 2005 (10:01 am)
Replying to: jchan2 (Apr 23, 2005 7:06 am) Thanks jchan2 - just bought it an hour ago. My wife got a Pilot a couple months ago and I wasn't up for another round of bargaining. Turns out this was the only Infiniti dealer in all of NJ (I called every one listed) that had any new i35s left and he told me over the phone the price was not negotiable. It was actually nice not having to go through that process - I did tell him he had to give me a hat to make me feel like I bargained for something!

Replying to: teebone (Apr 23, 2005 10:01 am) I love my car, and bargained hard. The dealer wanted $27,988 and I told him to "buzz off" in a nicer way. I shopped around, all over the US, and finally decided to give him a chance. I offered $25,500, they countered with $26,995. I said, hey, a dealer in Boston is willing to sell for $25,999, with the Cold Weather Package.(Quirk Infiniti- they still have a few left I think) He said that they'd match it. I said they had to beat it or I'm flying to Boston. They countered with $25,800, and I took it.   Glad to hear you didn't have to bargain. I had to, and it wasn't as pleasant as it could have been.

Replying to: fredvh (Apr 23, 2005 8:08 am) I don't have the Cold Weather Package. I'm getting around 19 MPG, with 60% city and 40% highway driving. I took the trip computer's numbers and discounted them a little.   The I35 does not require Premium. I pump regular, but premium will increase your power and fuel economy.   $26,995 is a little high. For an I35 with the Cold Weather Package, I think somewhere between $25,900-$26,250 is reasonable. I know if my dealer was selling me the one Cold Weather Package equipped I35 they had, I would have offered $26,250 tops.   Keep in mind though that the Nissan VPP pricing plan price is around $25,800 for the base model and $26,500 for the I35 w/ Cold Weather.   Nissan VPP Pricing is calculated as: (a dealer told me) 1.65% below invoice, minus all dealer and customer incentives, which in this case would be 1.65% below invoice, minus $2000.

Replying to: fredvh (Apr 23, 2005 8:08 am) As far as the premium fuel requirement goes, you can get by on regular, but understand that is not the recommended fuel in the owners manual. It's very clear that premium is the recommended fuel to use. Also, keep in mind that as the price of gas goes up, the cost of premium seems to become more of a deal, considering that it's typically only a 10 cent jump from regular to mid-grade and another 10 cents to premium. So the 20 cent premium over $1.30 cost for regular is a 15%+ price premium, while at $2.30 for regular, the 20 cent premium cost is only an 8.7% price premium. It's funny how the price difference between grades doesn't go up along with prices in general. I figure if I'm getting 10-15% better mileage with more power using premium, it more than pays for itself to use premium fuel.
#267 of 293 Anyone have a spoiler on their I35? by teebone Apr 24, 2005 (7:16 am)
I'm thinking about asking the dealer if I can get one put on prior to pickup. I thought it looked real nice on my older Maxima, but I have never seen one on an I35. How does it look? How much can I expect to pay for one? Replies to this message: jchan2 (Apr 24, 2005 9:09 am)
#268 of 293 Re: Anyone have a spoiler on their I35? [teebone] by jchan2 Apr 24, 2005 (9:09 am)
Replying to: teebone (Apr 24, 2005 7:16 am) The local dealer wanted $600 for a spoiler on a different I35 from the one I bought. I think you can get it for less though- maybe even ask them to put it on for free.
#269 of 293 Invoice on I-35? by liaison May 01, 2005 (1:23 pm)
Can anyone tell me what invoice is on an I-35? My local dealer has one on the lot with no extras. BTW, what is the cold weather package everyone is talking about? Replies to this message: teebone (May 01, 2005 2:35 pm)
#270 of 293 Re: Invoice on I-35? [liaison] by teebone May 01, 2005 (2:35 pm)
Replying to: liaison (May 01, 2005 1:23 pm) Not sure what the invoice is, but I just bought one a couple weeks ago. I called every dealer in NJ and only one had any new I35s - turned out they had 24. The sticker on the car was 31,300. Their price was totally non-negotiable at 25,899 (with no cold weather package). I know part of the cold weather package is heated seats and heated steering wheel, not sure what else you get with it.
#271 of 293 I35 Invoice by jchan2 May 01, 2005 (3:44 pm)
According to KBB two months ago, it was $26,303 including destination, minus dealer incentives for an I35 with no options. Somebody said holdback was another $800 or something, but I couldn't find the holdback on it so I assumed it was $800   The Cold Weather Package includes Heated Front And Rear Seats, Heated Exterior Mirrors and a Heated Steering Wheel.   My I35 doesn't have any factory options, except for a Trunk Mat and Splash Guards, but most I35s come equipped with those anyways.   Hope this helps.
#272 of 293 Any new I35s left on the West coast? by mathakid Jun 11, 2005 (9:06 am)
I saw online on other websites that there are still some new I35s left, but the ones advertised are all on the East coast or Texas. Does anyone know if there are any new I35s on dealer lots somewhat near the San Francisco Bay Area (or where the closest might be)? Thanks in advance for your help.
