Thoughts on 2007 G35 by hammuh

Hello,
 
I've been test driving cars the last three weeks and had my wow moment test-driving a 2007 G35 today. I'm seriously considering buying it. It is black with 24k miles, the premium package and the navigation package. There are some minor, but noticeable cosmetic defects to the bumper as well as the control panel on the driver side door (looks like key scratches) The dealer is in Clear Lake Infiniti in Clear Lake TX (just outside of Houston) and is asking $31k. TMV seems to be $26,700, KBB $29k and NADA $32k.
 
Thoughts on a reasonable final price before TTL would be appreciated. Also happy to provide more information if needed. Thanks!

Coupe or sedan? 6mt or auto?
 
A NEW 08 journey sedan with premium would be around $33k or $35k with Nav. Not much difference between the 07 sedan and the 08 (ipod interface, etc).
 
A new 08 journey coupe with premium would be $36.5k or so. If this is a coupe then it is the old design and the new interior is head and shoulders better than the old one.
 
You can get cheap financing on new coupes and sedans (2.9% for 60 months) and better lease deals.
 
So in other words, depending on what it is and in the shape it is in you had better get them to knock a LOT off the price or you would be better off buying new.

Hi Dennis,
 
Thanks for your prompt thoughts. It's a sedan and automatic if that helps. How much do you mean by "a lot"?
 
Thanks again.

You can get a new G for near invoice and they will finance it for cheap money. Take a journey + premium for $33k and compare it to this used car with a $31k asking price. Even if you talked them down to $28k I think I would forgo the Nav and take the new car. Find out what kind of used car rate you can get from your bank or credit union and run the numbers against a new car at 2.9%. The difference in rates for a used G will narrow the difference in price between the two.
 
CapitalOne is doing 6.19% for 60 months online for used cars. If you did $28k it would be $543.80 per month. $33k at 2.9% for 60 would be $591.50. Less than $50 a month you could drive new.
 
You may can talk them lower and/or get a better rate on the used car - but don't overpay for the used one.

How bad did I get it? by mike3767

I was a little nervous to post this due to me finding out how bad I got hosed. But this was our deal:
2008 G35X
Every option except the cruise control thing.
trade in was a 03 hummer that we purchased 8 months ago and we carried over $8,000 negative equity towards the G35X (ouch)
$2,000 down
3 year lease/12k miles per year
payment with tax (5.5%) 767.00 a month
 
 We took the H2 in to get an oil change and found out there was about $6,000 in repairs that needed to be done, got a second opinion and they said the same thing. So with gas prices, we decided to look at cars and found the Infiniti and we love it. Me being in real estate, the nav. works great. I have no complaints and I don't have a stroke writing the check every month. It is definetly worth the money knowing we got out of the H2 with all the problems and into this vehicle. How bad do you guys think we took it in the shorts? I am a little curious to hear everybody's remarks.

Well considering a 5 year loan for $40,000 at 2.9% is $715.00 w/no money down. And would be under $700 w/ $2000.00 down. I think you got hosed a little. If you purchaed the car instead of leasing it. You'de get a little money back if you sold it three years later.IMO.
 
What happened with the H2? Bought from Dealer or private?

I just bought a G35X on 04/30/08. Everything except the Nav. package.
 
Lease term 39 month / 15 K per year.
 
- gross cap cost is $37,255 ($35,114 + $1,546 tax + $595 aquisition)
- residual is $22,021
- depreciation amt is $15,234
- rent charge is $4,207
- monthly payt is $498 (payt would have been $492 but the dealer gave me $500 cash for my last SAAB lease payt)
- $716 down (1st month + DMV fees only)
 
I live in Albany, NY and had a great experience with this transaction.
 
They originally told me $542 mo. payt + $2500 down and I ended up with the above deal. I've been leasing since 1988 and I felt this was a good transaction.
 
Good luck
JC

Infiniti 2008 G35 Journey Price paid by tolumtx

Hi:
I got 2 weeks ago the following car:
 
Infiniti 2008 G35 Journey with the following:
Premium Package
Infiniti Navigation Package
Painted Splash Guards
Trunk Cargo Net
Tinted Glass
Lojack
Price Paid= $35100
This is not including ttl etc...
 
I calculated with the tint glass and lojack I paid $400.00 below invoice
 
I also included a 7 years 100,00 miles extended warranty 0 deductible for $1900.00. I think this was a little high.. but I did not want to keep pushing..
I also got a good discount in my insurance for the lojack
Is this a good deal???
