| I went to Suburban Infiniti in Novi, MI this past Thursday and was given the following numbers for a 39 month lease with 15k miles. Money Factor: .0029 and Residual:59%. I saw in another forum that the money factor is supposed to be .00179 and Residual:60%. I know that Suburban is the only Infiniti dealer in the metro Detroit area, but they shouldn't try to gouge consumers. I guess I am going to call the next closest dealer (which is 2 hours away) | |
| Just leased a 2005 G35 AWD for $640 over invoice. Omaha area. Prem C, XM, Trunk Mat, Splash Guards. I paid 34800. I believe the invoice is about 34160. Money factor was .00212 Residual was 60% 36 month lease. Took about an hour of negotiating. Probably still not a great deal but I still like the G35 over anything else in this price range. I think a good deal for what you get. I liked it much better than the TL. | |

I traded in my BMW 330i on a G35 Thursday. My 330i was a 2003, Red with black letherette inside, sport package, xenons, moonroof, 5 speed. Very basic and no question, it was a great ride. Felt so nice on the road. Last few months of a 3 year lease. I am 6' 210 lbs and it was tight getting in and out. Also,I have a 2 year old girl and believe it or not, my wife hated the sports seats. It was small and as you know it came with the usual BMW negative quirks. Even the HK stereo was only OK, single disk player and so on. I also do not like the new 5-series bimmers and the pictures of the new 3 look good except one MAJOR problem. The early reports have commented on the right knee room of the driver. You can see it in the pictures. The center stack is bigger and this was a HUGE problem I had with the A4 audi's. The way I drive this would drive me nuts if it is true the new 3's have this problem. My new G35 is beautiful!.. Black on Black, sirius sat and bose speakers, navigation and the best part for me.... 6 speed!... It is definately much bigger than the 330i and my wife is very comfortable driving it. Speed-wise they feel about the same. I know the G35 is faster but since it is bigger the feeling is the same. To the Bimmer it felt tighter no question. To the Infiniti the G35 is much more comfortable and my daughter fits well in her seat in the back. I definitly think the G35 is better looking inside and out. My trade was a short cover on the Bimmer lease and $2500 down and 460 a month. 39 months 15K a year. I am looking for some words of encouragement.... PLEEEEEASE! My head, evaluation, eyes and everything tell me I made a good move. My heart just misses the BMW and I hope I do not regret it!

This forum is great to know what others have paid for their cars. I made my deal solely on the info that I got from this website. Here is what I paid for my 2005 G35 coupe at Richmond Infiniti. Auto coupe+premium+18inch wheel pkg+splash guards=$34,000 Edmunds lists the invoice at $33,587 but there is a little discrepancy. For the wheels Edmunds lists MSRP at $900 but the sticker on the car says $650. Whatever the case I'm guessing I made the deal about $800 over invoice or so. From my site visit, I knew this dealer had a $189 "processing fee". I made sure before I went and picked up and paid for the car that this fee was part of my initial offer. Hence, I paid 34K+ttl= $35139 out the door. All my negotiating was done over the phone and easy to do. Overall, my dealership experience was quite good. Good luck to all of you and thanks for you help. |

Replying to: djocks (Feb 27, 2005 9:08 am) I drove BMW 5-series for 18 years and switched to a G35 in December. The G has been great so far. Even though compared more to the 330i, the G has more usable room than, and performance more like the 5-series. No, they're not the same car, and some things will seem strange for a while. But for comfort, performance, and more importantly, reliability, you'll be way, way, happier with the G. I think BMWs get uglier and more overpriced with each model year. And my local dealership really sucks. I've been to the Infiniti dealer only once after purchase, for the initial oil change, but my experience with them has been very good.

Tomorrow is the last day for 2.9% financing for Infiniti. I love the way the G35 looks and feels, but I live in Chicago and don't think I want a rear wheel drive car, especially in winter. My insurance agent has one and loves it, but she said it doesn't handle well in rain/snow. I don't want the AWD, just something else to go wrong. I am torn between the G35 and Acura TL. Just want a solid opinion. Thanks, Jim

Replying to: sullyone (Feb 27, 2005 5:48 pm) I chose the TL over the G35x for a number of reasons. One caveat regarding the non-navigation, automatic TL: the Bridgestone Turanza EL42 tires are very poor in the snow! I'm in the Boston area and we've had a pretty snowy winter. I've not been stranded, nor been close to having an accident, but that's probably thanks to the traction electronics, common sense and luck...! I'm sure with snows (or even better all-season) tires, the TL would be fine in the white stuff. As all my FWD cars have beeen. Good luck, can't go wrong with either car.
