Replying to: silica1 (Nov 30, 2007 7:42 am) They DO have lease and loan specials to help move cars, but never have customer rebates (except something like the owner loyalty $500 they have now). So if you know invoice and know what the hold back is, that is the bottom line dealer makes no money price. If you can get one now for invoice give or take bit either way, that would be a nice deal. I would not think any need to wait if you are paying cash. The DEALERS may be more motivated to give you a deal next year than they are now, but that just depends on how many they have sitting on the lot and how many more are on the way. For the sedan there is little changed for MY08, so if you can live w/o the ipod adapter and a few other things you can try to find a left over 07 and see how low they will go on it - but I am betting you could score an 08 for not much more so I would go that route. I would use the Infiniti dealer locator and start in an ever-widening circle from where you live contacting dealers. If they have a web page (if they don't, I would not bother with them) then contact their "Internet sales manager" or get an "online quote". If you don't hear back, and have checked your spam traps, then you might forget about those dealers (they have a web page up but don't do anything with it). When you do get e-mail just tell them you are shopping for the best price, no trade, paying cash and you want the bottom line price - and then give them your exact specs. Make sure you ask them to include the cost of the car, destination, and any and all dealer prep or doc fees in the quote. The tax/title stuff should be same no matter where you buy and if you buy out of state you will likely be doing that work for yourself. Just keep going wider and wider until you get as far away as you are willing to travel, then either pick the best deal or start working them for a deal you can live with. If their first shot is way high or they have a $500 or something "doc" fee you may have to just cross them off your list since trying to work down from some silly number (like $500 off MSRP) or working against a high doc fee will mean you not get as good a deal as you can get elsewhere. There ARE Infiniti dealers that charge a small or even $0 doc fees. I have purchased cars from WI, CT, GA, TN, and KY dealers doing it this way - with good prices all the time. I used car haulers to bring cars in sight unseen or flown out and drive back, or for closer ones just get a friend/family member to ride along for the pickup trip. If you work for a company that is a supplier or affiliated with Nissan you can get a VPP claim code and buy for < $300 over invoice with no haggle. If you know someone that works for them - ditto. If you are a close relative of someone that works for them - you can do about invoice with no haggle. Folks here may can suggest area dealers that they have dealt with that offered good deals. The ones I know of are 6 hours or more from you, one way  . Dennis

Price I paid in NY for a 2008 Blue Slate G35x with Navigation, Premium package, splash guards, and cargo net was $36,143 plus sales tax, DMV, etc. Are dealers in the NYC Metro Area more willing to deal? |

Expiring today, November 30, (Customer incentive) Nissan/Infiniti have the following incentives. 2008 G35 and G37: 2.9 - 3.9% . On the 2007 G35 Coupe is $2500 rebate. This is a dealer incentive, so they don't have to tell you about this or give it to you. I will be curious to see if they extend these, come up with new ones, or don't give any incentives at all for December.

Replying to: carjim (Nov 30, 2007 2:04 pm) The $2,500 is pretty well known and any dealer with 07 coupes on the lot should be offering them well under invoice - the G37 is a LOT nicer car inside and out and it would take a deep discount to get someone to take one with the G37 to compare it to. I think this represents the "final buy down" on the G35 coupes and this is now been given to the dealers. The note on Edmunds now has a different wording: "Applies to all new MY07 G35 Coupe in dealer inventory at COB on 11/1/07. See dealer for details." Once the final buy down is in place then it is up to the dealer to move them off the lots - that is it for the manufacturer. We will not know the sales numbers until they are released. Those normally are month to month no matter when the end of month falls, but probably will not be released until Monday. If sales were strong then they may drop the incentives or lessen them - or they may want keep them in place. If sales are still weak, then they may leave them in place or sweeten them. The other factor is "days supply" of the coupes and sedans, which we can't know. If sales are good, but the days supply is even higher than Nov 1 (they are making them faster than they are selling them) then they may need to add more incentives to move more cars. If sales have deleted a lot of the days supply nationwide then they can pull the incentives and see how sales do. So they see how the they did for November and publish those numbers, then see how this weekend does, then can figure what they need to do for the rest of December. Dennis |

On a slightly related note. A lot of folks cross-shop the G and the 3 series and the G wins the price battle by a good margin. For those that don't need a large(r) car, the new 1 series might be something to look it when it arrives. Nice write up in the online (free) magazine Winding Road about the 135i - the same smooth I6 3.0 liter with turbos as in the 335i - but the 1 is smaller and lighter and you know that that means. The 1 interior is typically modern BMW ugly so the G wins that battle, the exterior in photos are not bad but the G probably has the edge there. Prices in the US have not been set, but I would expect a coupe to run the same or less as a G37 when similarly equipped. Game on! Maybe Infiniti will have to drop the G37 price a bit, we all know they charge way more for it than they do for the sedan - always have. Dennis |

Picked up my G37 at Infiniti of Gwinnett this afternoon. WOW! Drives great and I felt like a kid again. They did not try very hard to add on any extended warranty or paint treatment, but I did purchase a 4 year rim and tire warranty for $399. The rims on the G37 sport are very, very expensive and the tires are not your cheapies either. This is good nationwide and I felt that it was worth it. I had to go through downtown, Friday afternoon traffic in Atlanta and was glad that I got the automatic. The only negative I see so far is my bottom is too wide for the sport seats. Guess this is a good incentive to lose weight. Bottom line is, I believe that you can get a fair deal at Gwinnett.

Replying to: dwynne (Nov 30, 2007 9:34 am) Which dealership in CT did you work with and when? I live in the state and had little success dealing in my area. Thanks, Mike
