Tanjak....You might wanna check Metro Infiniti in Monrovia, CA. I bought my 2008 G35 Journey with prem/nav package around 31k plus license, tax, etc.. Since I didn't take their finance I also got a 5k discount.

Now one last choice.... do I get a loaded 2006 BMW 330i or the 2008 TL? choices, choices, choices
The BMW is clearly the better performer over the TL, but compared to the G the G edges the 330i in acceleration and reliability. Unless you just can't wait I'd hold on until the 09 G37 sedans start trickling in then you'll see G35s at prices in your range, and you'll have the best car of the 3 IMO (Since the 08 G will have a full new car warranty compared to a used 330i). The TL is a decent car, but not in the same performance category as the G & 330i.

Cash price for 2008 base G35? by waynedoggy

According to Edmunds, the invoice for a base G35 is $30,478. With the $4,000 incentive, should I be able to buy one for $26,478 (invoice minus incentive) plus tax?

I found that Edmunds' invoice is high. You probably can get it around 25k include tax, license with a base G35. Cars.com has a Smart Target Price of 29,518 for a base G35, that is a negotiating price. If you provide your own finance or pay cash you might get 5k off the price. If you finance it thru them (dealer) than you don't get the incentive, you cannot get both. Good Luck!

I agree with you... the 330i and G35x aren't in the same performance category as the TL. After driving both the 330i and G35x again yesterday, I noticed the following... The RWD 330i with sport package had noticeably better handling and much tighter steering and suspension than the G, but the G did have a nicer engine. The one thing I didn't like about the G's engine was the harsher shifting though.
 
I'm thinking the extra money for the G right now, lower mpg due to the more powerful engine, and the fact that I don't really care as much about straight-line performance, makes me lean towards getting the 330i, because that is one fun car when the roads are curvy!

Extra money for the G? What are you comparing? A new G to a used 330i? If you compare similar years and options, the G is MUCH cheaper.
 
And, obviously you gotta go with what feels right, but the 330i is not superior to the G in the curves. At least not for non-professionals, as I've proven to myself and 330 owners at the autoX. Even with 400lbs extra weight in my G35x, and 2 inches less rubber than the 330iZHP, I have defeated one and been defeated by another. So, until I come upon the tie-breaking race, it seems we are pretty evenly matched. And, mind you, these are ZHPs, not your run-of-the-mill 330i w/ sport pack.

You make some good points qbrozen. I personally didn't want a used Infiniti, which is why I'm comparing the '06 330i to the '08 G35x. My impressions were that it felt like I was driving a coupe when I was in the 330i, and in more of a touring-type of car in the G35x... it just had a different feel to me.
 
Im regards to the 330i in curves compared to the G35x... I was more afraid to hit the same curves at higher speeds on the G than on the Bimmer. I can't say it wasn't possible, but I didn't feel as comfortable doing it. I don't doubt that the G handles well, but to me it didn't feel as "sporty" as the 330i (sorry, I can't think of a better word to describe it). Now, the G coupe is a whole different story...

Well, there's that whole "feel" thing for you again. The sedan can actually outperform the coupe due to it being lighter.
 
I should also point out that I haven't heard good things about the newer Gs when compared to the older ones. Heavier and softer being some of the complaints. So you MAY want to try out an '06 or '05.
