I'm planning to do my own financing that means I'm paying the dealer cash. Is 31k including taxes, license, etc. and should I negotiate for more since I'm paying cash?

Just paid $29,702 cash for a Blue Slate 2008 Journey with Premium Package in Atlanta. That price includes dealer doc fee as well. Only thing not included in that price is 7% sales tax and $65 title fee.

Anh3,
 
Sounds like a good deal on the G37. Could you give me more information?
 
1. Is it the automatic or manual?
2. Does that $36200 include sales tax?
3. What city and dealership did you buy it?
4. Was it a demo?
 
Thanks.

From one source I learned today that the G37s are now being held back to December maybe the end of December. Also, that each dealership was getting only one G37 sedan.
Other sources confirm the one G37 sedan per dealership. One salesperson said they were getting one sedan and one coupe. Looks like there will not be a rush to sell out of G35s. Sales person said that it is good for G35 owners in that massive discounting lowers car values. Food for thought. All of which leads me to the second thing I learned. When negotiating a deal the seller said "we do not sell below invoice and that is invoice plus $200". I said that is way too high to be invoice. The seller said yes it is, check Edmunds for invoice info. My response, I am looking at Edmunds and your "invoice" is exactly $500 over the Edmunds invoice. Side comment = looks like invoice padding. Guess they can make any invoice whatever they want. Sellers offer was $700 over Edmund invoice. Good luck to all on your excellent deals

Are you sure your quote is right? Invoice is $37,107 and you are getting a cash price of $31,795, thats $5,312 under invoice! I would be all over that.

I was offered $30,500 as a cash price, do you think that's the best I'll get?

My friend pointed out that Edmunds can be HIGHER than the actual dealer invoice depending on when the car was shipped ... I think there was an mid model year increase in price for the 2008s, my G35 invoice is several hundred dollars lower than what Edmunds shows ...

I am a frustrated buyer. Made a bid a month or so ago on an early production, read lower priced, version of the same model. Price and invoice was lower than the later production model. Seems like in my memory the difference was over a $1000 with optionss. Made my offer based on the price and invoice of the car. The salesman bought in and then the sales manager called me to inform me that the car could not be sold using that invoice price. He insisted that the invoice for that car was at the level of the later model invoice. When I said that reduced his profit spread because it moved the invoice closer to msrp, actually much more than provided with the late model. According to Edmunds the invoice was more than $2,000 less than msrp. Using the late model invoice and the early model msrp the spread was around $1,000. He just blew that off insisting that it happens all the time and he could show me the actual invoice for the car and that it was the late model invoice not a lower earlier model invoice. Again they can make up an invoice to justify whatever they want.

Hold back on 09 G37s to give G35s more time to sell for a reasonable price by njalan

mosho, your comments are not without merit. I am in a dilemma situation: I want to buy the G35x at the lowest price possible but I don't like the price to fall after buying it. I have to be honest that the G35s are very good buys now comparing to the 09 G37s. Your info appears to be correct because my dealership has exactly one 09 G37x.
 
I was quoted yesterday $39500 plus TTL for the 09 G37x (black with premium & navi packages). The MSRP is $41015, invoice $37698 & TMV $40818. After taking the $1000 cash incentive off, this car sells for $318 below TMV but $1802 above invoice. That is over $7200 more than the 08 G35x with the same options. I cannot justify paying this kind of money for the 09 G37x while the 08 G35x is still available.
 
Infiniti appears to be determined to hold back the 09 G37s as long as possible to allow the 08 G35s/G37s leaving the dealership lots without giving them away. I hope they succeed although I am still looking for a bargain. I am skeptical that the G35x with prem, navi, wood & splash guards can be had for $31795 plus TTL as quoted by one posting. I am still awaiting for the response to see which dealership in NY is offering this deal.
 
Invoice padding is not new and it will go on as long as there are dealerships selling cars. For one thing, the Edmunds invoice may not include advertising cost but the dealership almost always adds it to the invoice for the potential buyers to see. For another, the doc fee differs from dealership to dealership. The bottom line is that they want to make an extra dollar on the sell while we consumers try to save one more dollar on the purchase. I saw one prior posting saying the deal was $1000 apart when he walked out. Knowing that cars are almost selling at rock bottom price now, I would not have the gall to utter $1000 below what is the final offer by the dealer. On the other hand, I admire that gentleman for standing firm.
 
Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts with all of you.
 
p.s. What is a super deal? You know you got a really good deal when you were told that after you drove the new car from the dealership and the people in the dealership started cursing you.
