| If you are in Utah be forewarned that Tim Dahle Infiniti dealership is unwilling to negotiate on prices even if cars sit on the lot unsold. They are in the business not to do business. In fact, they will not even talk prices over the phone or email. They do not post prices on their website so that buyers have to come in person to look at their inventory. My friend spent 8 hours trying to buy an Infiniti in this economic climate. Really?! No worries - I found that other dealerships in Denver, CA (Metro Infiniti), and D.C. area were willing to negotiate over the phone and make the buying process enjoyable and easy. Bottom line: if your local dealership will not move on price, go elsewhere. | |

Another dealer for the same car without the $1100 tech pk but had to trade for it was offered up at $42,142. What do you think? I am going back to price with a trade in and see what price I can get.

Replying to: MikeCRG (Jul 26, 2009 4:59 pm) let me start by saying im not an expert when it comes to pricing, but i think you got a decent deal going on. however, like you said, others here at edmunds have scored invoice, some even below invoice, so compared to them you might be paying a little much. but the more options you must have, the less room you have for bargaining a lower price. if youre paying in full, you could strike off $2500. i think if you finance through the bank you could get that savings. if youre leasing or financing through them, then you probably have a pretty good deal. when i purchase mine, i plan on getting $2500 below invoice for AWD, tech, premium and NAV. will it be possible? i think so, b/c i will contact every fleet manager within a 100 mile radius and pit them against each other for my business. best of luck - let us know the results. |

Replying to: MikeCRG (Jul 26, 2009 4:59 pm) I also wanted a loaded G37x with all those options (plus the illuminated kick plates and midnight black grill) but they're hard to find in stock at dealers. I was told by a couple of different dealers that less than 1% of cars are built like that because I guess there's not a lot of demand for cars with the appearance options (front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, illuminated kick plates, midnight black grill). I ended up getting a G37x with premium, nav, tech, sport and splash guards for $500 under invoice for $39340. The MSRP was $43525. Then I ended up buying the front chin spoiler, rear lip spoiler, illuminated kick plates for $900 from Infiniti of Scottsdale parts department (because they discount them 25%) and installed them myself. The midnight black grill would have been another $200 but I had my dealer give to me because they screwed up my paper work when I went to pick up the car. It was the last day of the month so there was no time to redo the paperwork. Assuming I had bought all 4 parts for $1100 then the total cost would have been $39340 + $1100 parts for a total of $40440. If I would have ordered the ordered the car like you, they would have charged me more because I wasn't taking a car they had in stock. Anyway, my point is that your price for $2300 over invoice ($1500 under MSRP) doesn't seem like that good of a deal considering the current incentive on the G37 includes $2500 cash to dealer for marketing support. That means they're making $4800 on that car. Even if they sold you that car at invoice price, they'd still be making at least $2500 because they also make another 1% in dealer holdback. I'd try to get something closer to invoice price and the absolute most I'd pay is $1000 over invoice. If you have multiple dealers in your area, I'd get several more price quotes. When you bring up the $2500 in cash, I'll bet your dealer will try to tell you that they won't get it because they're ordering the car but I'm not sure if that's true. I would try to find out from Car_man or one of the other moderators on the forums if the dealer still gets the cash incentives when they special order a car. Here is a link to the incentives for the G37 sedan. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the $2500 cash to dealer. http://www.edmunds.com/new/2009/infiniti/g37/101115176/incentives.html Here's a link that explains dealer holdback and a list of the percentage for each car manufacturer. http://www.edmunds.com/advice/incentives/holdback/index.html Btw, I'm glad I got the tech package for the additional safety features.
