Replying to: redline122 (Dec 09, 2008 1:37 am) heh heh, I mean no offense. It is just that dealer is not going to budge simply because we know how much they made. The only way to make them move is competition and their needs to sell a minimum number of cars every months. And the honest answer is that if they have to sell the car below their holdback, buy down etc and loss money, I won't have any problem buying the car if they are willing to sell it. And on the flip side, if the car is really hot, they would just laugh and move to the next customer if they don't get the price they want... I have been buying and leasing cars for the last 16 years (about 12-13 cars total) and I never find it helpful to bring up how much money they make or loss on selling each car (since I don't know their cost structure, there is no way that I know whether they make money on a given deal or not). I leased our 08 LS460 last friday and it took me a total of 1 1/2 hours to get to price agreement by sending/answering email to 3 out of area dealers and one of them come back with the price that we want. And later on we found another delear in our area that is willing to match the deal for a different color combo. Time is bad for delears now and competition is the best way to drive down the price.

To a dealer (or to any other business), it's more beneficial to have cash in reserves (wherever they keep it... bank, mattress, safe, or even frozen in a freezer). Cash doesn't depreciate as fast as the very piece of consumable they sell - the car. Even more so, the place where dealers really make any cream on their deals are the "add-ons" like gap coverage, permaplating, tire/wheel road protection, etc. Those items are very nice to helping the dealers bring in more cash...

Thanks a million for all the posts. Wow what a difference it makes to have this listserve to exchange information. i've been shot a 35,500 deal on a 2008 G35s. Where can I find the dealer cash, hold backs and other details? The infiniti website does not have the cash back. One dealer tells me he has 4000 the other says 5000 on the g series. i'd like to get something printed to show me the cash incentives and, if possible, something to show me the dealer hold back. i've gotten the dealer invoice from Edmunds tmv. doesnt that value even go down now since there is only 20+ days left in 2008? thanks again for all the input.

I am looking to buy a 2008 Infinity Journey sedan with these options: Premium package, Sport package, Illuminated kick plate, splash guards, trunk mat, and cargo net. The list price is $38,315 and the invoice is $34,975. Edmunds says that the TMV is $34,860. What is the right price to pay for this car with 0% financing for 3 years? Do I just subtract the $1000 "Sell Down Bonus Cash to Dealer" from the TMV, or can I do better than that? As I understand it, I can't get the additional $3000 Cash To Dealer if I go for the 0% financing. If I choose to pay cash or finance the car elsewhere, I still can reduce the price to $1000 less than the Edmunds TMV, can't I? Can I do better than that? What's the best I can expect to do on this car?

Replying to: 8thbug (Dec 10, 2008 9:17 am) Don't worry too much about the TMV. It is a national number and car market are local. The price you get depend on how many delears around your area and the demand of the specific car in your city. The best way is to email all the delears around you within a distance that you are willing to travel and try to get the best deal... Once you have that on hand, you can look at LA area and see what is the price range there and whether it is worth your time to fly to LA and pick up your car there. And if G35 does not meet your price target in either your local market or LA area, you can always find other brand.. It is good time to buy car now..
