| My local place has a flat discount of $3,500 on their remaining '03 G35 sedans according to the mailer they sent me this weekend. That makes their least expensive about $300 under invoice. | |

I live in the NY area and was looking around for prices...this is what i found so far for best price...39 month lease with 4500 down....440 a month with all options...navi...sport package...premium....aero...am i missing anything..what is that winter package i see in some peoples post... being that the winters here aren't good..i hear the car isn't well designed for the cold months...especially with 18 inch rims and no snow tires available but for the price and options is that a good deal..all taxes included... |

I am surprised they will even sell it to with the summer tires and that package, here in CO I don't even think they have one of those on the lot...Anyway, if you are going to go that route you should also be prepared to drop 1k on a good set of winter (not all-season) tires and an extra set of rims that you can switch out for winter and spring driving. Those summer tires are not made for winter driving. I've heard you can pick up a decent tire/wheel combo at costco. On your pricing, use the calculators on this site to see if it is right, you should be within 20 bucks or so. IMHO, you're really wasting money if you put it down on a lease. If you put 4500 down, On a 39 month lease assuming a money factor of .0018 (4.32% annual) and a 60% residual(these are pretty accurate and recent) the difference in your payment would be about $64/month (not including taxes) or 2300 dollars over the life of the lease, so the question is where is the other 2200 you put down? In the dealers pocket. You are better off only paying what it takes to drive the car off the lot and keeping the rest of that money for insurance or other fees or your first 4 months payments or hell you could invest it conservatively and make more than 4.32% you are paying...this making sense? Good luck! |

| ya it is beyond me why they are selling this package for these winter months..it is like 13 degrees right now and i heard those summer tires are not good for weather under 45 degrees...i am thinking about switching over to the 17inch rims and trying out one winter with the all season tires on...or maybe just switch over to the acura TL with front wheel drive and save some money...infiniti requires 2500 down but i was putting more down to make my monthly payment less...i figured down the road a lower monthly payment would be easier | |
I was quoted $800 over invoice for an AWD sedan with Premium Package, Sirius, mats and splash guards (the last three options I could do without, but don't mind them that much) at Cerritos Infiniti (SoCal). After reading bernie4g35's post, I think I'll have to give South Bay a call, as well. Don't think they will well the AWD at invoice, but I can always ask  My main problem is that I am trading in a '97 Outback and they are not offing me much for it. I was planning on using the trade as a down on a lease to reduce the payments, but glevitt has a point. I'll have to look at the numbers again and maybe just sell the car on my own. As for drive off costs for a lease, I was told I could drive off for as little as $775 with payments at about $490/mo - 36 mo; 15k mi/year; 59% residual; 0.00195 factor; state tax, destination and $550 bank fee included. The $550 bank fee was the same at several dealerships using IFS. Has anyone financed a lease at a dealership through another bank? The money factor isn't bad, but that $550 hurts. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Tonyg24 - since the dealers in Southern Cal will not negotiate (at least not more than a couple hundred) on the coupes, the 444/mo on the loaded coupe seems like a pretty decent deal. |

tonyg24 - couple more things: I would question the required 2500 down for a lease. Typically you can roll everything into the lease if you wish. Most would pay, first mo., security deposit and processing fees up front to drive off the lot which should put you at about $1200-$1500. I understand what you are saying about lower payments, but you would still end up with more money if you saved your down payment and used it each month to pay the difference between the 440 and whatever your payment would come out to without a down payment. Moerron - Have you looked at using an auto leasing service? Credit Unions have great ones if you are a member and there are independent one also. I have used my credit union and they are great. They get a good deal on the car, they give the automakers financing and lease programs versus theirs so you can pick which is best, you don't pay any of the tack on charges like the "bank fee" and the service is at no cost to you. Additionally you can do this all over the phone and you never have to deal with the dealership unless you want to take delivery there. Personally, I will NEVER buy from a dealer straight up again. This process is just too easy and enjoyable. You can at least check one of these services to get a quote with Infiniti's financing and see what charges you would end up paying going through them...my guess is that it would be less than what you've been quoted. |

| the only infiniti dealer in the seattle area is telling me that they do not move below sticker on g 35 coupes. anyone have recent seattle area experience(s)? | |
| I'm beginning to believe we are cursed in the Northwest area (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) with too few Infiniti dealers. (Kirkland & Spokane, WA and Beaverton, OR). None of these subscribe to internet quotes. With limited dealerships, there is absolutely no competition and prices appear to be MSRP period. Anybody have success with decent pricing in the upper left hand corner of the US? I really like the G, but may find the TL to be a better deal price wise as Acura dealers are more plentiful up here in mildew meadows. (Not really looking for dissertation on which cars is better -- they are both pretty darn good, just trying to find reasonable pricing for a G) | |

| I also was offered the invoice price from the fleet manager at Montclair Infiniti. My recommendation is to go to the Infiniti web page, find your car in the dealers inventory, then call up the fleet sales manager. Give him/her the vehicle VIN number and tell them you will buy it at invoice. I also was told by the fleet manager at Cerritos Infiniti that he would sell me any G35 (Sedan)in their inventory for inventory+$100. All else being equal, I would go with the Torrance Infiniti dealer (South Bay Infiniti) as I has such a good experience with my purchase. Good Luck!! | |
