Your analysis seems about right. I think there were still left over 2004s well into the new year at the larger dealers. Once the 2005s came out with their improved interiors, it became more difficult to move the 2004s without substantial discounts. One Chicago dealer is still showing 30 2004s but unless he has some off site storage, he didn't seem to have nearly that many when I cruised through a week ago.
 
I imagine the 06 models will be relative unchanged and dealers will be keeping closer tabs on their inventory so there probably won't be quite the selection of leftover 05s at the start of the 06 model year as there were this year.

***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!! ***
 
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.

Infiniti in Lisle Illinois by sullyone

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.

I have dealt with them via email also. I think they really try to get you in the store. I believe their inventory changes fairly quickly (they claim to be the largest dealer in the midwest) and they don't do a very good job keeping their website up to date. Got the same "what car are you looking for?" line. OTOH, Fields Infiniti doesn't even respond to website inquiries and ignores you when you walk into the showroom. Business must be good. They've pretty much steered me to a TL.

I have been looking for a G35 in Chicago, and the pricing for a 2004 G35 is all over the place for what new ones remain. The dealership experience also varies from no response (see above post) to response (Orland Park) with an outrageous price about a week after the initial request (not very timely). The approach to trade-in value is equally daunting with about a $5,000 difference on a $18,000 trade amongst the dealerships. Nothing has changed with respect to the sales experience and attempting to squeeze as much as possible out of the buyer. Good luck to all!

I was at this particular dealership on Sunday looking what they had in stock. I saw quite a few 2004 G35's that were marked sold and said new service loaner. Maybe that is why they didn't have any when you called.

2005 G35x purchase by shmoopy

This board has been very informative. Thanks to all contributors.
 
I am in the process of purchasing a 2005 G35x and have settled on a price of $750 over invoice, plus dealer-trade costs to procure the specific car I'm looking for.
 
I would appreciate your opinions on the wisdom of this deal, and what the cost of a typical dealer-trade might be.

Just got a quote in Atlanta market for 2005 G35 Sedan, base model (w/ sunroof) for $29, 750. The dealer told me that is 1% over invoice. Does anyone know if this is true? Also, do you think I can do better? Your help is much appreciated! Thanks.

I was quoted $32,060 for a G35x with sunroof without any haggling. I think I should be able to do better. This weekend I will offer $31,060 to them. If they don't take it, I will walk away, and wait for a few months before looking again.
 
Good luck.

Got a decent deal on G35 by aahire

Hi friends,
Just bought G35 sedan this weekend. Ended up paying 28000 for the base sedan without any options. I stay in Sunnyvale, CA. I guess I got the car below the invoice price because of quarter ending. No dealer initially was ready to go below invoice as the car normally sells for 500-800 over invoice. But I managed to get this price quote from a dealer 40 miles away. (I guess they were trying to get rid of a few long standing base cars). I took the quote to other dealers and after hard negotiations, they agreed to match. I also got the color I wanted.
I hope this helps someone out there. But please be prepared for serious negotiation with dealers. Almost everyone is trying to squeeze that last dollar out of you. Especially be weary of those finance guys. The sales man will try to show that he/she is on your side and is trying to get you a good deal. And would try to show as if his/her manager is not agreeing. The manager will never speak to you directly during the negotiations. It’s a big dirty game. The key is PATIENCE. Be prepared to walk out and let the sales guy know that you could walk out.
And I am loving every minute in my new G35… awesome car…
