Hehehe... could have had a V8...>
 
As for the MSRP on the M45s it is $56,170.
 
Thanks for the luck. The general manager is still mulling over my "analysis".

The simple answer is to simply ask. I've always followed the mantra... if you never ask, the answer is always NO.
 
After reviewing my number with the Consumer Reports buying guide, Edmunds TMV, and KBB, the dealer vocabulary came to me. I simply asked what the cash discounts, the dealer selldowns, and holdbacks are. The holdbacks would be the last thing the dealer will probably give to us as a buyer. But then again, this is a BUYER's market.
 
As for how long a car has been on the lot, just ask for the dealer print out on a particular vehicle. Once he/she says yes to the printout, then ask how long the car has been on the lot. For Infiniti, it's the "ETA". The one I am eyeing came to the lot in the end of September.
 
The cash discounts, selldowns, and holdbacks are free info - IF YOU ASK THE DEALER. They will tell you. Remember, these items can apply on top of the invoice price. The invoice price is NOT the number that the dealer paid for the car.
 
Hope this helps.

I think it is meaningless to bring up the hold back, the amount of money they can potentially make etc in a negotiation. Dealer are in the business of making money. We never ask how much the previous home owner make when we buy a house. And we never ask how much BBY make when we buy a TV from them. So why is car dealer so special that we want to liimit how much money they can or should make? I also buy cars every 2 years or so. And I just take the approach that supply and demand will dictate my puchase price. My job is to find out the market condition of the cars that I like, pick the one that I most likely can get the best deal and negotiate the best that I can. It is really not my place to detemine or get upset if a dealer make some money. After all I decide to buy or lease at the price that we agree. I leased an 07 G35 for two years and I paid 400 above invoice. I just leased an 08 Lexus LS460 last Friday with 15K below MSRP or 6+K below invoice. It helps a great deal that I live in S.F. bay area where there are a lot of competition. But back in 2001, I really wanted a Lexus SC430 and I pay full MSRP for the car when it first come out. I don't feel sorry for the dealer if they loss money on any of my deal. I also don't get upset if they make money off of my purchase. After all that is the best deal I can get within my specific location. My job is to get the best deal that I can afford, not running delear's business.

These are very different times and there is much to be said for his approach based on that. If you look in the m35 m45 lease forums you will see people whose cars are coming off leases being offered 6-12k off the residuals if they will purchase their vehicles at the end of the lease, . Do you think you will ever see them coming back to people who initially purchased them.There are also new 2007' M45's on some lots. Near Luxury and Luxury vehicle resales have plummeted since september. These are unquie times and if you are purchasing rather than leasing you should consider the resale of a leftover when you drive it off the lot. KBB for example lists the trade in value of and 08 M45 with 500 miles at 31k NADA suggests 35k, a 20k hit driving off the lot. if you lease it doesn't it matter because you return it and the manufacturer deals with the equity issues. But you certainly should consider all you can know about the dealers cost, They decide wether to take the offer all they can say is no.

I am new to this site and have been doing extensive car searches. I am wondering if you guys could share your input on the deal I just received from a Chicagoland dealer.
 
Brand new 2008 G35X with Premium and wood trim. MSRP $38,530. 39-months lease with 12,000 miles/yr. $0 down and all taxes & fees rolled into the payments for $498/month.
 
Price factored into the lease: $34,500
Money factor: .00119
Residual: 54%
 
Any input would be much appreciated.

Is it better to lease than purchase? I haven't even considered leasing because I had always heard that it was better to purchase, if you plan on keeping your car a long time. I would like to buy an 08 G37 coupe and plan on keeping it a long time, but would it be better to just lease for now and buy at the end of the lease? What would be cheaper in the end?
 
P.S. Anyone heard of any new December incentives on the G37, or is it the same crap from November?
 
Thanks.
