#5767 of 6172 Too much over invoice by silica1 Mar 26, 2008 (1:22 pm)
I'm finally making the move to purchase a G35 Journey with the Premium package (decided not to pay for the nav package). I'm getting quotes from different dealers but so far they are high. I'm getting quotes of $1500 - $1800 above invoice (including their doc fees) (before the $500 rebate). The $1500 price was from a sales manager from a different town and the $1800 is from the internet sales department of another out of town dealer. They are more than $1000 over what I would like to pay. I'm still waiting for my local dealer to get back to me. They don't appear to be as hungry for a sale as I thought.   Any suggestions for motivating the dealers to lower prices? The out of town sales manager said he wouldn't make money if he sold cars at or below invoice. I bawked, but he went on about his 'costs'. I sent an offer price (below invoice with rebate) to the internet sales dealer first, but it didn't help.   Would I be better off using a buying program such as AAA or Costco? I'm not a Costco member but could change that easily if I knew it was worthwhile. The Costco call center would only say the savings would be between MSRP and invoice (not useful). Anybody know what to expect for savings if using Costco? I'm in NC. Costco does have a dealer in Greensboro in their program.

That usually will light a little fire under their butts.   One of my friends sells cars. He said salesmen are trying to get more for the cars, since then don't sell as many as they were(bad economy). Did you try going to one of the larger dealers. They usually are the ones who want to get rid of inventory faster.
#5769 of 6172 G35x w/PREM, NAV, Wood by boopycar Mar 27, 2008 (7:51 am)
Hi, the offer I have for a G35X with Prem, Nav, Wood, Mats, Net is $37,060 and I am yet to bring up the $500 rebate discussion which would bring it downt o $36,560. Thoughts?   Do Infiniti dealers charge bogus fees after agreement on the sales price? What should I be looking for?

Replying to: boopycar (Mar 27, 2008 7:51 am) When soliciting offers, I always make sure they are explicitly clear on the full details of the offer. I ask for an "out the door" price offer, then broken down and itemized by:   1. Selling price of car 2. taxes 3. License fees, etc. 4. Any dealer fees 5. Any incentives ($500 rebate).   Otherwise, they can do things like include the rebate in their offer, when you expect to get $500 more off, or to add some $400 dealer prep fee or some other bogus charge.   That way, you know you are comparing apples to apples when you consider offers from different dealerships.   90% of the dealerships I have dealt with are willing to do that -- some initially don't but will provide the information when I press them for it.   I hope that helps.

Replying to: boopycar (Mar 27, 2008 7:51 am) The dealer knows about the customer cash and has figured that into their quote, most likely. No need to play any games with it - seems like you want them to give you their best price then you can just tack on the $500 on top of that. They know about the $500 and have figured it in, so just ask them about it and they will tell you for sure one way or the other. You want to be at invoice of less when you count in the $500 rebate and the dealer's doc or prep fee.   Speaking of the dealer's fees, it is a good idea to get that out of the way up front as well. Just ask each dealer for a quote that includes the car, destination, and any dealer doc/prep fees - and less the $500 customer cash. If you are specific then you can compare various dealer quotes accurately and decide on your next step.   Some car dealers to all kinds of things to try to make extra money - doc or prep fees, "business" or "gross receipts" taxes that are charged to the buyer, forgetting to include destination charge in their quotes, etc. I am sure there are Infiniti dealers that operate that way and I am sure there are many that do not. You just have to ask them up front and make sure what they are including. If you get to the dealership to take them up on their offer and find they "forgot" things or are adding stuff to the deal just walk out and go with another dealer.   Dennis

Replying to: boopycar (Mar 27, 2008 7:51 am) I have been waiting for the dealers to come down in the Dallas/Houston area. I have a gotten a couple of calls this week so far with a quotes for $36,500 (Houston) and ($36,773) Dallas OTD prices TTL , rebates and incentives. Niether dealer have given me the qoute in writing (fax or emai). Is these good prices for using the VPP Plan D?   G35 Journey Premium/Nav System cargo net/splash guard Black exterior/interior Replies to this message: dwynne (Mar 27, 2008 10:52 am)

Replying to: approlu (Mar 27, 2008 9:46 am) If you have a VPP claim code then there is no negotiation or haggling (and no "waiting for the dealers to come down"). You price will be < $300 over invoice then less the $500 incentive plus any dealer doc or prep fees and dealer installed options. That is a nice price, but in many areas of the country folks are able to negotiate lower prices w/o the VPP code. You have to either choose to try to negotiate a better price or just present your VPP code. Once they find out you have VPP they will not bother with trying to make you a deal, since they would prefer to just honor the VPP price. Find the dealer with little or no doc/prep fees and no accessory add-ons and use your VPP claim code. That would make for a nice deal with little work on your part. Dennis

Replying to: silica1 (Mar 26, 2008 1:22 pm) I got my G35X Sport back in December using the partner employee pricing plans for about $300 over invoice. Costco pricing varies per dealer, but I have seen ranges from $100 to $500 over Invoice in the NYC Metro Area. Hope that helps. So, the Costco membership could pay for itself immediately if the dealers in your area offer prices in this range.
#5775 of 6172 G35 AWD Sport Purchase by digsvb2 Mar 27, 2008 (5:41 pm)
Thanks to all for sharing their buying experiences...picking up my new toy tomorrow morning. I am jacked! Here's the rundown:   G35 AWD Premium Sport SpGds/Mat/Net/Etc   MSRP = 38850 Price = Invoice minus $500 -- just under $35K   SM passed the rebate along to me in hopes of creating a new, long term customer. I think he will get what he wanted. I will be back for my wife's next vehicle.   OTD only included "normal" doc & title fees..no bs.   Dealer - Fields (Chicago)   Salesperson specializes in G35...nice guy...really knows his stuff...
