I test drove a G35X this afternoon...loved this car. Then I asked for the best price they can give me for a G35X, with Moon roof as the only option (no premium package). Without any haggling, they quoted me $32,060. According to the sales person, this is $500 above their cost. I did not take this price on the spot, thinking probably I can get a better price, since my gut told me that their cost should be lower then they claimed, ( I don't believe that they are happy with making only $500 for this car). What do you think of this price? Is it realistic to negotiate the price down to about $31k? Does someone has information about dealer rebate/incentive then their cost is below the published invoice price?? Thanks in advance for your help. |

Replying to: lmacmil (Mar 20, 2005 8:19 am) Last night, I read through almost all posts in this discussion from March to Nov 2004, hoping to find the price change trend through the rest of the year before holiday season. Year 2004 and year 2005 are comparable, in that they are not end-of-model-year and no new model is expected the following year. Therefore, the real-world price change history of last year should mirror what will happen this year. A summary of what I found: 1. At March of 2004, the best price reported in this discussion is about $200 above invoice. 2. From April to July, no better price was reported, and $200 over invoice is still the best price reported. 3. From August to September, some people were able to get G35X at $700 below (!) invoice. Many people got invoice price. 4. On both October and November, some outrageous deals were reported. A few people got their 2004 G35 at $2000 below invoice. The best deal reported was $4000 below invoice!! 5. Starting at November, the discussion of 2004 winded down. I guess the dealer inventory dried up by that time. 6. Regional differences played an important role in what kind of deals people got. Almost all best deals were reported in NJ/MD area. My strategy : After going through this discussion, and evaluated my current situation, I try to answer two questions I have for myself: When do I have to make a purpose? What a price can I get at the purchase time? 1. The car I want to replace, a 2000 Camry, is still in excellent condition. I just had its timing belt replaced three months ago. All four tires were replaced during 2003 Christmas time, and they are in very good shape. Plus, I don’t think there will be much snow left to fall this winter, even in Minnesota (snow condition is the main reason to get an AWD). Therefore, probably I don’t need a new car until winter of this year – this will be November of 2005. 2. Based on the price trend of last year, October and November are two months when outrageous deals were reported. I guess IF dealers still have a big stock of the current years’ model, they are willing to deal to get room for the next year’s model. The only drawback is that there may not a good selection left, and I may not get the color combination I really like. But I don’t care much about colors, and any color other than red will do for me. After I went through the above logic, I think I better wait until end of September to look for deals again. Any comments and input are welcome. Hope our discussion can also help others who are in the market for a new G35(X). Wait for me for another half a year, baby!!

Replying to: eastwing (Mar 20, 2005 12:08 pm) WOW!!!$4K below invoice in Oct.? I hope that was a BRAND NEW car and not a demo with 5K or even 10K miles on it. With that hug discount he/she can drive for 1 year and trade it in with almost not losing money. |

I am very interested in a 2004 G35X. I went on Carsdirect.com and its suggested price was $29860 and they forwared me to Infiniti in Lisle, IL. It was the worst experience doing this on the internet. From the beginning, I told them the exact car/color I was looking for. In a matter of two hours they went from 9 cars down to zero (sure). I asked if they could meet the carsdirect suggested price and they kept asking me over and over what car I was looking for. It was all BS. I refuse to internet shop for a car after this experience.
