Replying to: dwynne (May 05, 2008 2:51 pm) G37 Journey, Navigation, Premium, Illuminated Kick Plates Invoice 38292, My negotiated price 38500 Dealer adding 4 splash guards invoiced at $150 MF= .0019 Residual= 62% 39 month lease, 10k miles per year $1630 down payment (fees, registration, bank fee of 595, first month pmt) $491 a month This deal was better than my VPP code which only got me to 300 over invoice. I figure this is respectable, no ? I ran this dealb other dealerships on-line and they claim to be able to beat it, but sounds like it wouldnt be worth the hassle for a few bucks. your opinion greatly appreciated...

Replying to: dwynne (May 05, 2008 7:01 pm) Dealer said only G37s with the Sport Packages were being delivered with port installed splash guards... without the Sport Package it would be an add on... who knows... Initially I was able to bargain the price down to 300 over invoice... other fees in the deal included standard 595 bank fee, standard motor vehicle fee 250 (if actual cost here is less they rebate me the balance), document fee 249, no prep fees or anything else. I complained about the 249 doc fee, dealer said they are forced to charge everyone the same doc fee due to legal reasons, but I was persistent so he knocked another 100 of the car, bringing me to 200 over invoice - considering the splash guards being added, I considered I am getting the car for basically invoice. I double checked MF was accurate at .0019, added 2% to residual due to 10k miles only on the lease, checked bank fee - everything legit, dealer really was honest. When I hit him the VPP, he was also honest - said that deal gets to 300 over invoice, and even admitted they are incentivized by IFS with a 2.5% holdback on MSRP rather than the regular 2% - but that the numbers on my deal were better. I know dealers tend to dispute invoices, but I was able to find this on-line and when I presented it I was able to get the right deal.. the salesman and manager were shocked, said they had never seen a customer bring this into a dealership... check out this link: http://www.g37driver.com/Pricing.pdf In any case, I am satisfied.. went to a high volume dealer, they sell 180 Infinitis a month.. Regarding the lease rate vs buy rate - not familiar with that aspect, can you tell if I am in line? Anyway, I want to thank you for all your posts - I was able to educate myself about the process by researching this site and I felt so prepared in the dealership.

Replying to: joenyc (May 06, 2008 5:37 am) I would still have them leave the cheap plastic splash guards off  . My G37 6mt had them port installed along with the cargo net and trunk mat - all three items are pretty much a rip off. Did you find that the invoice pretty much matched the invoice numbers you see here on Edmunds, KBB, and carsdirect.com ? What color are you getting? Dennis

Replying to: joenyc (May 06, 2008 8:02 am) . Nope, just a car nut. I have had a bunch of cars over the years and once I learned the beauty of leasing was able to increase the count by quite a few . I love getting good deals and hate it when folks get ripped off. Keep in mind though, the dealer can afford to give you and me a sweet deal because so many of the other folks will take a deal with $500 off MSRP and a marked up rate as long as they like the payment. So all that profit lets them give others a deal without so much money in it . I finally have my G broken in, but right now is perfect convertible weather so the G has been sitting most days. Getting 17mpg commuting on premium helps make it a little easier to park. Dennis

Replying to: joenyc (May 06, 2008 11:52 am) I posted a link to the FM here in the forum at this link. During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow these recommendations to obtain maximum engine performance and ensure the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in shortened engine life and reduced engine performance. speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm. It is 1,200 long miles Dennis |

| I just got an email from a NYC-area dealership advertising the G35 for $1000 under invoice. I live near San Francisco now. Any chance a Bay Area dealership will sell me a G35 for $1000 under invoice? | |
