dae928, which dealer did you get that deal from? I'm in the Chicago-area as well and am looking at the G35X. To put that deal in perspective, I just got quoted $811 a month for an Audi A4 that stickered for around $42K. If you're under $500 per month with taxes rolled in on a $38K car, I'd say you did pretty well.
 
BTW - I told Audi to get bent. There residuals are garbage so they can't compete in the leasing game with the Japanese.

Is there a possibility of better incentives from the manufacturer coming at the end of December or early January for 2008 cars? The Infiniti dealerships here still have tons of 08 cars on hand. The G37 incentives have been the same since October, how are they going to get people to buy them if nothing has changed? What happens if the dealerships don't sell them by the end of this year? Can they sell 08's in 2009 or do they have to get rid of them before that? Would a dealership be willing to take a loss if they can't sell a car for a profit?

Kind of like asking in the stock market going to hit 8000 or 6000 at the end of the month, no one but a psychic knows.

OK, let me re-phrase my question. In the past, has anyone seen incentives being released at the end of the month (rather than the beginning)? And do new car dealerships still sell previous year models at the beginning of a new year, or do they have to get rid of them in the current model year? (i.e. do they have to get rid of all 08's before January 1, 2009 or some other date in 09?)
 
Thanks.

The automobile industry has never experienced a buying climate like we are in now, thus what may have happened in the past really doesn't have much bearing today.
 
While Infiniti would love to get rid of all of the 08 in 08, there is no law, rule, or policy that requires them to do so.

txvinyl1,
Cars are moving ever so slowly on the lots these days. I have found new 2007 Infinitis around the US. As kingpcgeek said, there isn't any policy/law/mandate to encourage or force dealerships to liquidate previous model years.
 
On that note, the stigma of buying a new car from the previous calendar year just adds to the buyer's negotiation toolbox.
 
1, I would do a blue book analysis for a particular new car from a previous year in "excellent condition" with little to no miles.
2. Bring the wholesale, suggested retail price, and private party results to the dealership. No need to throw them out for all to see. It's better to be discrete.
3. This, along with other items of research, will help you get the best price that you are comfortable with.
 
Hope this helps... and good luck.

Thanks a lot for the response. With that being the case, do you think a dealer would rather take a loss and get rid of a car now, or hold onto it hoping it will sell in 2009, or hoping the manufacturer will give them more incentives?
 
For the past few months, I've been keeping track of the 2008 G37 coupe inventory of the dealerships in my city and there are currently 110 G37s on hand. In the past month, only about 20 have been sold. The incentives have not changed from last month to this month, so I don't see how they can sell all 110 without more manufacturer incentives. For this reason, I am holding out in hopes of better incentives. Knowing my luck, if I bought one now, a couple days later there will be more incentives and I could have saved a couple extra thousand dollars.
 
I've heard that dealerships will send unsold cars to auctions. Is this true, and when would this happen? And would dealerships take a loss just to get rid of a car? When I say loss, I mean selling it for less than what they paid for it (Invoice - holdback - manufacturer incentive).
 
Thanks again.

I have never heard of a dealer selling a new car at auction.
 
It is very doubtful that there is any hold back left on any 08 Infiniti's at this time so don't figure that into any pricing equations.
