Heck no they don't have the right to do that. Please don't fall for what they are telling you. Get your deposit back or get the car you signed a contract for.

ok, finally picked up a Base AWD FX35 liqud platimun/graphite at Fields in Northbrook, IL for $37,900. As I mentioned before I had a better quote from Madison, WI ($37,000). However, I did not want a wheat interior, plus the Fields dealership is 10 minutes away and offers free breakfasts and car washes:)) so it made sence to pay an extra 900. But $37K for the base is very doable, IMHO.

they have $5K dealer cash back on the 2009s. Depending on the motivation of the dealer you could reasonably expect 3-4K below invoice.

Today I went for the first time shopping around at my local Inifiniti dealer in SoCal as I am in the market for buying an Audi Q5 or Infiniti FX35.
 
As the lease on my current Volvo ends in 7 weeks I decided to do some orientation at the local dealer.
 
My interest is in a 2009 2WD FX35 with a Premium Package only. My plan is to pay the car by cash or finance the car for 30-50% as the APR of 0% sounds attractive to me (having a 700+ credit rating). Things became complicated to me as:
 
The sticker price for the RWD + Premium was $45.700 (+Tax, Registration). They offered me the car for $40.700 if I paid it cash. If I would finance the car based on that amount the APR would be 5.9%.
 
If I would take 0.0% finance option the car would be around $42.900 (+Tax, Registration). As I am the owner of an old FX they told me that the Loyal Customer Rebate applies to Lease terms only.
 
It feels to me they are BS-ing on the terms related to the 0.0% APR and the Loyalty Rebate program. Of course reading the thread here there must be a better price on the car to get knowing another Infiniti dealer is less than 15 miles from my local dealer.
 
Who can help me sorting out what the terms are related to the 0.0% APR and the Loyalty Rebate? Or in the end what do you guys expect what the price should look like considering I am an existing FX owner, want to use the 0.0% finance partly?
 
Thanks in advance!
Herber

Fisrt of all, find out your invoice price. Costcoauto.com is a good place to do your research.
 
http://www.costcoauto.com/research/buildvehicle.aspx?trimid=305587
 
so, looks like the invoice for RWD FX35 w/premium is $41,824
 
Second, we know that currenty the dealer offers either a nice APR or Cash back in the amount of up to $5K. Theoretically, you could get both, however practically it would take a really motivated dealer to agree for these terms.
 
Say, you chose the cash, so, your target price should be no more than $41,824 - $3,000 = $38,824. However, I'd push hard for $38,000.
 
Anyway, email every possible dealership and get the best price. Let them know you are aware of the invoice and the cash back. Do not show up at the dealership, unless you get close to your target price. Bring the paperwork (e-mail trail) with you. Don't hesitate to stand up and walk away if they start changing anything on you. In this economy, you should be able to get your price.
 
Good luck!

Thanks a lot fear_my-catz, I will take your suggested $38k as my target price and will start sending emails to the different dealers in my area.
 
According to the Infiniti site there is a 0.0% APR if I want to finance a part of the $38k. Do you have experience if the 0.0% still applies or is the financing % something the dealer can play with depending on the negotiated price. I was surprised that the dealer gave me a lower price with a 5.9% APR, and a $2k higher price based on 0.0%. Reading the 0.0% terms on the Infiniti site I do not see any restrictions related to a negotiated price.

well, I was not able to negotiate both, the price and the rate. I paid 37.9K for the base awd, which has an invoice of around 41k.
I did try to push for the special rate, but I was told its either low price, or special rate. I ended up financing for 5.9% which I plan to pay off shortly anyway.
 
I doesn't hurt to try though!
Push for both, maybe through in an extra 300, but get the rate. I admit I made a mistake by showing up at the dealership before negotiating the final terms. They felt I'm ready to buy. So, try to get the final terms via e-mail, so you have the paper trail.

very nice! The invoice is $54K and change, so you got it 8K under invoice. $5K incentive plus the loyalty credit I guess.
 
Swesome deal! congrats!
