Hello. We are looing for a new vehicle for my wife. Yesterday she test drove an Infiniti FX35 at a local dealer, and she seemed to like it. They have a few new 2006 models still available (not used or demo, just never sold, yet) as well as plenty of 2007 to choose from. The salesman said "nothing changed" between the 2006 and 2007 models. I was wondering... 1) did anythign actualy change between the 2006 and 2007 models? 2) would the $2,000 marketing incentive that I have been seeing in this forum also apply to a 2006 model? or just 2007? 3) should we expect to be able to get a deal for much significantly less for a 2006 model? Thanks! |

Just wondering where people are buying their FX-35 around MA for well below invoice. I am trying to decide between the Murano and FX-35 any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

There is a new crossover coming from Infiniti - it's the EX. However, it's sized as the FX's little brother and is not a replacement from what I have read. If they go with what is making the car circuit now - it'll have a 300+ horsepower engine. If you look at post #1155 you see my purchase experience on my new 2006. There are some differences on the 2007, nothing major. The 2007 has an iPod interface. However, it only has 275 horsepower as compared to the 2006's 280. Lastly, I test drove a couple of Murano's. Nice car but not as good as the FX35. The Murano is underpowered for it's weight. I didn't like all the space above the dashboard and it had a bigger blind spot than the FX. Regards.

I would like to buy a pre-owned (04, 05, 06) FX35/45 with under 30K miles. Questions: 1) In terms of financial saavy, my math calculations indicate that if I buy an '05 for $28K (seems to be avg), if I keep the car for 3 years and sell in 2010, that I can probably get about $22K for it based on what the '03 sells for now and presumably in 2008 when it is 5 years old. Is my thinking correct? This way, it seems to make sense to buy a preowned for 3 years and think of it as a lease. If I buy it for $28K (figure about $30K out-the-door), then if I sell it for $20K in 2010, the true cost to drive the car for 3 years would be about $10K versus leasing a new '07 for 27 months where it'd cost around $1500 down for fees and $550/month = $15K. So, I could save $5K??? This would then require me to evalouate whether it would cost $5K in wear/tear/maintenance (an '05 may need new tires, breaks, tune-up, etc., so it could balance out whereas an '07 wouldn't need it). Anyone follow? |

Purchased this weekend an 07 FX35 AWD with touring and technology package. Really struggled to find one that was in Copper that did not have the sport package as well. I called the 8 local dealers (50 miles) and the best price I got offered was $1600 below invoice. That was from the guy who was 1 hour away so I assumed that was a good indication of what to shoot for. Went to the local infiniti dealer who refused to go below invoice on the car. Managed three steps out of their showroom until they changed their mind and agreed.  Not sure if $1600 below is a 'great' price but I was happy with it. Had the money but opted to take the 3-year 1.99% financing. I'll get at least 4.5% via ING Direct and thus save a bit more on the car. So far (200 miles in) very happy with the car. It's a real head turner, especially in the copper and is a blast to drive!

I just bought FX35 and I was surprised to find the car without the cargo retractable cover that they call tonneau cover. Is it just ne or everyone else are getting this car without it? Please let me know.

I'm debating between the FX35 and the acura MDX. so far, the infiniti dealers seem to be cutting better deals with the older model FX35. The best quote I have so far is $41K for one with the tech, touring, and hands free packages. This would come with 2.99% finainceing for 60 months. Does this sound like a decent price?

Replying to: surfsup (May 15, 2007 9:02 pm) Just bought the 2007 FX35 sport with Touring Package Hands-Free Phone Package Splash guards Cargo area protector Blue exterior/black interior The invoice was around $42k got it for $38k  2.99/60 I probably could have gotten cheaper if I chose a different color. It seems the blue and the orange colors are really popular here in FL.

Hi, sounds like people are getting the actual selling price to below invoice on 2007 FX35's... I'm looking to lease, is the below invoice amount only when buying (because of the dealer incentives)? Are people getting lease's at below invoice? Dealership is telling me they: "can let it go at invoice with zero profit to the sales department... but no lower". I find that hard to believe? Any input is appreciated! Looking for AWD, Touring and Hands Free... Thank again.
