Replying to: jayrandall (Nov 11, 2008 11:16 am) I also used to work as a car salesman part time when I was in college so the sales manager told me do whatever it takes to sell a car. Not only do they make 3%, if u finance with them, they make money there and god forbid, you take it to Infiniti for 30K, 60K, etc service,they definitely make a killing there. I only go there for warranty work and oil changes. Otherwise I print out schedule 2 from my maintenance guide and take it to my local mechanic. I have saved hundreds of dollars in maintenance.

Replying to: kshankar (Nov 11, 2008 11:50 am) To recap: If we look at the raw numbers MSRP is $51,350. You believe there is a large enough discount between MSRP and the invoice cost to equal approximately 5k. (The goal here is to get them to negotiate the price to $300-500 over invoice) Then - play my trump card aka, my 2k loyalty discount at the close. That sound right?

These cars are piling up on dealer lots. Remember dealers have to pay floor plan costs and interest for cars that are on their lots. I actually told the dealers around here is if Infiniti has a lease pull ahead program, that I would be interested in buying/leasing another one. I have 12 more months on my lease. They said they do not but if it comes up , they will let me know. Basically I wanted them to pay up all of my remaining lease payments up front. A local Lexus dealer had that program a year ago. The dealer by me has a leftover FX45 for 13K off sticker, around $42K. Unfortunately, it has a brick interior. Let me know how it goes. Remember if one dealer says no, just go to another. I am the type who will go to other states if need be. Just like the real estate market, its a buyers' market for cars.

Replying to: kshankar (Nov 11, 2008 1:10 pm) fyi: I did not notice the other person's post you referenced, but the MSRP I quoted was a for a fully loaded FX35 with AWD. If you build the car on infiniti.com it comes to the same price (about 51K). 3k more then mine huh? I wonder what add-ons that car had ..... ???? btw - I have payments remaining on my lease too, so I was curious if any dealerships had early release programs. At Gold Coast, I mentioned that I had lease payments remaining but it seemed to me they were using their profit margin to pay off my remaining payments.

If you buy take $4000 off (all loyalty)= $48120 which I think is a good price now. When dealers get more on the lot,it will be a couple of grand off invoice. I have noticed that Infiniti FX35 and FX45 have been going for $10K-$13K off sticker for several years when they are stuck in dealer inventories. At that price, its a fantastic deal for this type of SUV!

Replying to: kshankar (Nov 11, 2008 3:43 pm) I just ran my car specs on Edmunds and the invoice price comes up at $48,174. So, add $300 to the invoice price then deduct my 2k loyalty discount. My base cap cost is $46,474. Sales tax (7%) plus the going APR (5.5%) and the price is still near $648 a month. I'll put $1,500 into the deal too. 43 months. Still seems high, right? I think the 5.5 APR is crazy high for a lease but this is the economy we are in today.
