Did I pay too much for this 5-year maintenance plan? by sdinfiniti8

I just bought a NEW 2009 G37 with premium/nav/performance tiers/cargo net from a local dealer in San Diego. I was shown with a service chart for how much they charge for so-called elite maintenance there. The elite plan has cost me $2100 for 5-year 750,000 miles and it doesn't include tires & brakes. Did I pay too much?

Deal on G37XS by snagiel

I just reached a deal with a NoVA dealer for a G37X with Sport, Nav, Premium, and Tech (i.e. fairly loaded). MSRP was $43,580, and I negotiated a price of just under $38k. Adding TTL (for MD) and documentation, out-the-door price is $40,901. I'll be picking it up this weekend.
 
I don't know if inventory is thinning out or if finding models with this package combination has always been challenging, but there aren't a lot of them around. One of the local dealers found only a few in the NE region (Mass, NY, IL, and the one in NoVA I ended up purchasing). I was really hoping for a stone (gray) interior, but black seems to be the prevailing color (maybe only with sport package?).
 
As for competition, I also looked at/drove:
 
  • 328i xDrive: Drove/handled superbly (as expected), but iDrive--for all its improvements over the past few years--is still clunky, and the option list quickly raises the price; a similarly loaded 328 ran close to $49k (and the 335, which is a more natural engine competitor, is well over fifty large, which is crazy)

  • TL SH-AWD: Nice car--handled better than I expected, but definitely not as sharply as the G37. Very roomy. The interior is handsome but the button and dash layout/design is highly confusing--the G37 feels much more intuitive by comparison.

  • IS 250AWD: Good handling reflexes, if somewhat more relaxed than most of the rest. Competent and smooth engine but nowhere near the power of the G37 or the TL. Highly refined and logical interior, but backseat is painfully small. Too bad they don't offer an IS 350AWD.

  • A4 2.0T: Surprisingly disappointing. Interior materials and design were top-notch, of course, but the handling felt very remote and disconnected; it may have been a function of the overboosted steering, but it definitely didn't inspire confidence. And the DVD-based NAV system felt like something out of 2002 (it was especially annoying since a large display in the showroom talked about the next generation NAV system in the Q5--these guys should figure out how to upgrade the entire line at the same time).

    Cheers.

    This was discussed on the previous page. You essentially paid $2100 for oil changes.

    Looks like you got a great deal...that was on a 2009, right?
     
    I went through Passport Infiniti here in NOVA because the Tyson's dealership didn't have much of any selection...I went with the 37S, Silver, navigation and black interior.
     
    How did the negotiations go...I'm curious if they offered you the same 1.9% they were offering back in April.
     
    Thanks!

    Yup, a 2009. I forgot to mention, the invoice was $39,895.
     
    And, likewise, I'll be purchasing through Passport. I never even visited in person--did all the negotiations by phone since I live close to Baltimore. I'll be paying cash, so we didn't discuss financing specials (and that also may be why I was able to get such a good deal). They seemed to dig in their heels after one round of phone calls and gave me their best "we'll do it at this price but we can't go any lower because we're just breaking even" offer, but then were willing to drop it another $300 later that day when they saw I was willing to go with another dealer.
     
    BTW, how do you find the black leather? I'm dreading how hot it will be in the summer sun...

    I have black leather in Phoenix. Black heats up quicker, but after a half hour in the sun black leather is no hotter than tan leather.

    Thanks for the advise, Snagiel. I'm also thinking about waiting and get a 2010 model. Does anyone have info on when the 2010 might show up and what improvements would be offered, along with how much price increase I might be looking at vs. 2009?

    Its not a rebate, its dealer cash. It is not available with a lease or special financing.
     
    FYI there is orange message above every Post a Message box that reads:
    You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information.
