#1805 of 6601 2005 G35x in Michigan by siege Dec 01, 2004 (12:36 pm)
I'm looking to purchase the 2005 G35x AWD in the Detroit, MI area. Only one dealer nearby, the nearest two are over 100 miles away (of which one is out of state). I've been trying to negotiate via e-mail. The best offer so far is 3% off MSRP. The car is in such demand that I'm not even sure what I should be offering. I'm figuring out that the invoice should be about $33,735 (includes the $1000 dealer holdback I've heard about). Any suggestions as to a fair price to offer and realistic expectations would be appreciated. Does anyone have experience with the dealerships here in the Detroit area? The car I want:   2005 G35x AWD   Premium C package   Splash Guards   Trunk Mat   Thank you in advance. Replies to this message: pkl123 (Dec 01, 2004 4:11 pm) miata007 (Dec 01, 2004 5:37 pm)

Invoice is about $33,658, but that doesn't include any hold back. On a hot car like this dont even think about grabbing the hold back, thats the dealers. If you are looking for a deal, check out the 04's. Based on what the dealer is offering you on the 05'. it could save you about $5700. (Thats some serious cheddar,yo!)

Replying to: siege (Dec 01, 2004 12:36 pm) I would say the best thing is to do is go in a dealership and testdrive the car. Let them know you are in a ready to buy position if the price is right. Offer them $500 over invoice and for sure they will say no and come back with a counter-offer. At this point, act like you really like the car but the price is to high. Get up and leave, but be sure to thank them for their time. If they stop you and lower the price, you can counter offer the new price. If you are happy with that price buy it otherwise need to leave right now. Don't let them wear you out which they are good at. Also tell them you are considering other vehicle such as the AWD MDX or TL. This two cars are in the price range and are selling well for not too much above invoice.   You just want to let them know you have other options. When you leave the dealership, atleast you have tested the water for the car you are interest in. Go to another dealership and do the same thing until you are happy with the deal. Don't tell them you have already been to 1 Infiniti dealer earlier and have failed.   You will never know what kind of deal you can get unless you try and of course do your hw. The end of the year will be an excellent time to buy and hopefully there will be incentives maybe even on the AWD models.   Good luck! 007

Replying to: uclabruins (Nov 28, 2004 11:40 am) I did no negotiating. There are three dealers in this area (Northern Virginia) and all have an Internet sales department. I sent each the same email. I spec'ed out the car and said I would pay $32K in cash as the gross price. 2 dealers said no way and a 3rd said come on by .

#1809 of 6601 G35 Coupe Tampa by rturkel1 Dec 02, 2004 (6:00 am)
I picked up an 05 G35 Coupe in Tampa about 2 weeks ago. It was the first one with 19 inch wheels that the dealer delivered for 05.   Diamond Graphite with Premium, AT, Aero, Sport and Splash Guards.   Got it for $1500 off MSRP. I started at $500 over invoice. They countered that the cars were just coming in and were scarce, and they could sell all of them for MSRP.   The purchasing experience was not as good as I expected when a Corporate "executive trainee" tried to push me into a finance deal that I refused. I prefer buying rather than leasing my cars. He told me that I could not put my full trade-in into the car, that no bank would accept the amount of equity I wanted to put in the car on a finance deal take back $10,000 from the $22,000 for my trade-in and that I should lease the car after taking back this amount and putting $12,000 in to the lease. I told him this was BS, and started to walk.   Another salesperson (local for the dealer) came up and worked out my terms- with much less interest involved than the first person. A bank took the deal.   I do not know if they played bad guy/good guy on me or what, but, this was an unpleasant experience to what should have been a good one when buying a neat car like the G35 Coupe. Apparently, they gave me $500 more for my car then they wholesaled it for, and the first guy was trying to make it back in the financing area?   BTW, the coupe was flawless at delivery and except for some minor rattles that seem gone now remains so.

Replying to: rturkel1 (Dec 02, 2004 6:00 am) Some years ago the F&I guy at a Toyota dealership tried to convince me I'd be better off financing with him at 13.9% APR than paying cash! Yes, most of the time the dealership makes money on the financing piece. Financing and insurance make up a sizable proportion of dealership profits.   I'm guessing you were at Infiniti of Tampa, rather than Lokey in CLW. Did they try any other tricks on you beside the financing?
#1811 of 6601 Re: 2004, 6MT Silver With Premium [whywhy] by miata007 Dec 02, 2004 (11:17 am)
Replying to: whywhy (Dec 01, 2004 7:52 pm) Negotiating for an 05 is much harder than for an 04. I've too contacted like 6 dealers about the 05 and most of them do not want to negotiate from invoice. They really try hard in getting rid of the 04s. One dealer in the bay offer $5000 discount plus 1.9% financing last month on all 04 G35 in stock. The dealer seems really good be after looking gt the 05s, we have decided to get an 05 sedan AT RWD.   If you are interested in buying a new 05 Coupe or G35 AWD, you are going to have a much tougher time. The demands are really high here.   Elk Grove Infiniti, I have to give those guys two thumbs up for the salesguy and the finance manager. I have no trade-in so was much less a hassle here. What's surprising is they didn't ask me at all if I want any accessories or extended warranty. I just told them I want to finance the car through my credit union for 60 mo. They came back with the the rate and the numbers and I signed the paperworks. Best buying experience for me so far and really looking forward to deal with them again.   I believe the people at the dealer really try to see how much hw you have done and how much you understand the buying, selling, financing process for cars. So if they think you know it, they will most likely insult you less and go directly to the point.   007 Replies to this message: cheapiam (Dec 04, 2004 11:07 am)

#1813 of 6601 Advise needed on lease by brodway Dec 03, 2004 (8:23 pm)
I'm interested in leasing the 2004 G35X, the All Wheel Drive.   My local dealer is offering what seems like a reasonable deal (there is this new Winter Engagement Event that is geared towards liquidating the 04's) , and i wanted to be assured that it really is.   Here are the details.   42 month lease with no money down except the motor vehicle fees.   the MSRP on the vehicle is 35890 which includes the premium package.   15k miles per year.   the payment offered is 389.99 per month   with a trade that is being appraised at $3,000(Plus the 6% tax i'm saving on the trade in value) i can go down to $299.99 per month.   please advise if this makes sense and whether i'm doing ok. i have no idea how to calculate lease deals.
#1814 of 6601 '04 G35 Purchase Experiences (DFW) by nestle1617 Dec 04, 2004 (6:54 am)
Any purchase experiences on '04 G35s sedans in the Dallas or Ft.Worth areas? Even if not, other prices paid on '04 G35 sedans would be of interest. Also, what was best interest rate obtained? Replies to this message: annalee (Dec 04, 2004 9:45 pm)
