I purchased a new 2008 QX56 2WD black on black with DVD and a few other minor options that listed out at $56,800.00. The complimentary oil change was thrown in but I refused to pay for the other dealer profit add-ons, ie.. paint and seat protection wheel locks etc.

Glad you obtained the QX56. Infiniti of Coconut Creek is not as far away from me as you. I dealt with the dealer in palm beach initially, as this dealership is where I leased my Q45. It is important today to use the internet when interested in a vehicle, as one has unlimited access to many dealerships in the country. To purchase a vehicle and have it shipped to you is quite common today. For maintence your local dealer should is readily available.

Ditching my 03 Lexus LX470 for a QX56 - ? GOOD MOVE?

Hi all....I have 125K miles on my 03 Lexus LX 470; I am not ready to move on - it has been a good SUV though. I am not about to entertain buying an 08 LX550 with a sticker of $75K+...I am considering the 08 QX56 with a sticker price $20K less...most of the ones on my local dealer's lots retail at $56K.
Everyone happy with the newer versions of the QX? I know the first years models were disastrous re: reliability.
Ballpark pricing I can expect to pay if I negotiate well?
Best,
Alan

Very happy w/ours. I think that you'll find that the vast majority of the '08 owners are very happy. Infiniti seems to have not only made the visual changes to the exterior/interior, but also "tightened" up the assembly. Everything fits well and feels substantial.
You can expect to pay 1000-1500 under invoice. That includes a 1500 rebate that is due to expire the end of this month. I had several dealers who were willing to go a couple hundred over invoice and then take the 1500 rebate off of that.
Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions! What else are you looking at?

Very happy with my recent purchase of a 2008 QX 56. I got the base model, no options, 2WD and paid just under $50k while financing at 2.9% for 63 months from Infiniti financial services. This vehicle has all the options most would want in the base model with just Rear DVD and Intelligent Cruise control and 4WD as options, made buying it easy. Very nice interior and fit and finish. I like the looks of it over most other SUV's I considered. Mileage is low and it is big, but very happy with my decision as this is what I need for a two month 15+k mile trip with 5 adults, a small dog and my golf clubs late summer this year.

I must report that I am happy with my purchase of my '08 QX56. I paid about the same , under $50,000.00 including DVD. The purchase was a little tiresome but I am happy with my purchase and the vehicle handles well. I have under 1,000 miles so it may be a little premature but I can tell you that so far ,handling, appearance, and response from others makes me smile. I own a GMC Yukon, which I did not trade, so MPG was not a shock. I might add that you must be prepared to work on the salesperson but you should be able to close the deal with everything except AWD and Intelligence Cruise for around $49,000.00. Be careful of the dealer add-on because they can take the goodness out of the deal.

When you state tiresome do you mean 2+ hours of negotiations?

Read back b.c his negotiation story is great. He may even loan out his kids to help facilitate the process for ya....a great story!!! 
On the flip side, my negotiations were great...got the dealer to move 5K in 20 minutes. I was very happy with my dealer from test-driving to delivery.

2010 QX going to Japan?

Haven't heard that, but it is more then likly true. I read that Nissan is going to separate the platforms so that the QX will be totally different from the Armada. I think it may be true about the QX heading to Japan, but you never know. I must say that this truck while good ofr the value is a mixed bag in the looks dept. Sometime i see them on the street and they look nice and other times I go ughhh.
