Rate my deal... by waltaz

Hey...looking at a new G35 here in Scottsdale, AZ. New to Infiniti, coming from Honda/Acura; have looked at the Acura TL, BMW 328i, Merceded C300, Lexus IS350 and the G35. The Lexus is the only one that compares, and it's much more $$.
 
Anyways, G35 Journey with the Premium package, no Navi or Sport (this is for my wife). Invoice on this, incl. Destination, is $32,579. They will give me $600 over invoice, or $33,179. They also added $1,995 on the sticker for dealer add-ons (like tint, flaps, etc.), which I said I'd give them a max of $300 for to cover their minimal cost.
 
So:
- G35 Journey + Premium
- Platinum Graphite + Stone interior
- Dealer add-ons
- Price to me: $33,479
 
Plus, I'll be doing the 2.9% financing for 48 or 60-months through Infiniti.
 
Let me know if you think I can do better.
 
Thanks!!

The dealership was a class act!

Deal or No Deal? by vik_kid

I am shopping around for a G35 Sedan('08) and have a quote from a dealer in NJ. I want to know
 
from you guys what you make of this deal(specs below)?
 
Overall Sales Price: $36,700
Config: Car = 2008 G35 Infiniti Sedan
        Base model = X (AWD,Auto)
        Pkgs Included = Premium, Nav, Sports-AWD, Painted Splash Guards, Cargo net.
       
According to Edmunds the MSRP on the car is $40110 and the Invoice price is $36530.
Also, there are a couple of charges for $249, and $354(dont know what they are, since I dint
 
write it down)... totalling $39887.5
 There's already talks of a recession... is there any good cause to believe that the recession
 
will reduce the prices(infi.), if so how long before it happens? Is it worth the wait and
 
watch game? What are the prices that people get nowadays around NJ?
 
 Also, I am currently leasing a G35 coupe('06) that I need to return mid-April 2008 for which
 
all payments have been made(I have the habit of over-paying a little every month when the
 
goings good..), but I'm almost at the brink of my allotted miles, and estimate to be over by
 
2000 miles at the mid may mark(2000 miles 20c/mile). Given that and the recession factor,
 
what would be financially sound- to wait for another 3 mos. & pay for the excess millage & hope
 
the prices drop/adjust... or just buy a new car right away?
 
All thoughts welcome. Thank you in advance.

Waltaz,
 
YOU CAN DO BETTER. You should try to get it at invoice or below invoice. I suppose you are talking about Pinnacle infiniti. They always mark up their cars by 2K above what the MSRP. Ignore the mark up. They have been offering the G37 at invoice so you can do better with the G35. Try out the other dealerships in Phoenix also.

Thanks...I appreciate the input. Yeah, it's Pinnacle, and I began doubting how "good" the deal was when I got online last night and really started digging through other's buying experiences and prices. I am in the process of checking out the other dealers.
 
One thing to note: We went around to Lexus, Mercedes and Acura, and each one of those fleet/internet guys was instantly straightforward with all the numbers, showing me everything, and for the leases, taking me through the calc on the monitor. At Pinnacle, it was like I was just a guy walking in off the street. Even though I was going through fleet/internet, they followed the "regular" process with an offer written on paper, then me countering, then the sales guys coming back with a slightly lower offer. At which piont, I pulled out all my research and told him I knew all of his numbers and 'x' was what I expected. Then he had to go off again, and so on. I was stunned - that's the very first time I've run into that with a fleet/internet guy since that channel has been available.

That's exactly the way I was treated by Courtesy Infiniti in Tampa, Florida. I was also stunned that they could so blatantly manipulate the deal. At that point, I closed the door on any further negotiations with them. I got a much better price elsewhere, but also had to endure games and a hidden charge. It's too bad Infiniti can't create a truly trustworthy dealer network where you don't feel like you are treated the same as when buying a Ford. I've read here that several have had great dealer experiences and I'm so glad to hear that. Just hasn't been the case for some of us.

Happy, I also live in the Tampa area and have had similar experiences with dealers in the area and in Florida. Did you end up finding a dealer you felt comfortable with? I have had quite a few internet sales guys who really aren't interested giving me much information via email. Any advice?

I dealt with Pinnacle as well. They did not give me a good price, instead I got lots of run around.
 
 I ended up ordering my car from Infinity of Supersition Springs (Mesa, AZ). I got a G35 Journey with Premium, Navi, Wood, Performance Wheels/Tires and C. Net for invoice. I don't live in AZ, but even with shipping and a somewhat exorbitant doc fee ($399), this was better then what I could do locally. I ended up ordering because I wanted a specific package/color combination.
 
The staff at Superstition Springs was very professional and above board (being of suspicious mind after dealing with several dealers I checked up on everything they told me).
 
I concluded the deal via phone and email, without ever setting foot in the dealership. While I am still waiting on the car and there is always the possibility for things to go sideways, so far Superstition Springs guys have been great.

Hey wmaung,
  Did you get it already from Ray Catena? I currently have an offer from them for a G35x sedan too. I'm getting it with Premium, Sports-AWD, Nav, splash guards & Cargo Net. Before Tax & Tag I was quoted $36,700. The tax was $2569, and the the other #'s on the quote were- $249, $7.5, $8, & $354, totalling $39887.5. Is this a good deal or should I wait and go elsewhere? Also, what would you think the other costs are, i know one of them is tire tax(either the 7.5 or the 8)... in other words what were the costs that you were quoted and how much were they?

The Lexus is the only one that compares, and it's much more $$.
 
Keep in mind, wheras the G might cost less to purchase than the Lexus, the Lexus will be more fuel efficient. The G is somewhat of a gas guzzler, so if the Lexus is your first choice go for it.
