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 .

G35 Coupe Tampa by rturkel1

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.

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?

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.

Just wanted to tell you guys about my deal.
 
Last week I bought a 04 G35 Sedan Auto w/ Prem. Package, Sports Suspension, Trunk Mat and Splash Guards with Diamond Graphite Exterior and Graphite Interior and 30% tint on all windows for $30,700 (about $1,000 under invoice). Also got a great rate of 2.9% for 60 months.

Advise needed on lease by brodway

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.

'04 G35 Purchase Experiences (DFW) by nestle1617

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?

Was at a dealer in Northern NJ with the following offer:
 
2004 G35X 4 Door Auto
Leather
Spoiler
XM Radio
MSRP 34270
Out the Door $30,000 even
 
Unfortunately, the car had the full size spare which ate up too much trunck space. Nice car! Seemed like a great deal! I will probably regret not buying it.
 
Just hope this helps anyone looking at an '04.

Just picked up our '04 G35X:
Garnet Fire-beautiful in the sunlight,I can't wait to wax (Zymol) in the spring. Took them two weeks to find one!
Willow-gonna be tough to keep clean, but looks great.
Premium/full size spare
wood trim(pull handles & shift knob)
splash guards.
$33,000.00 4.19 APR.
Pepe in White Plains NY.
Probably could have done a little better elsewhere, but location of dealership is most convenient and salesman was a gentleman. I was also worried about sell 'em and forget about 'em dealerships far away from home.
  Well, out for a ride we go!
