I have a black/brick FX45 Premium Pkg for which I paid $44,304. In addition to the Premium Pkg it has the Tow Hitch and Splash Guards. Great buying experience from Jim Lupient Infiniti - no pressure for add-ons and friendly atmosphere. Very happy with the vehicle so far - no problems and the performance is everything they say it is. |

I think I got a good deal but you know how that goes . Bought a FX45 Berrylium with everything you can order except tow package and sunroof deflector (ie.: Tech. package, rear cargo mat , roof rack w/ cross rails, 20" rims ,etc...) . Paid $48,394.72 not inc. tax & lic. Total out the door was $53,000.00 . I was not too impressed by the sales people but I knew how they played the "game" . I walked out once ( leaving my cell # and letting him know to call if he really wanted to do business ) . Stayed firm with what I was willing to pay and came in with #'s from what I could get on the Web on dealer invoice . I also waited towards the end of the month and end of the "business year" where sales #'s count more then profit #'s for the dealership . I live in the Bay Area (N. California) but was willing to go to S. California but none of the dealerships there would come close to the offer . Have almost 2900 miles and not a single problem . I get alot of positive comments and admirers . Only wish , Infiniti should have left the HP at 350 and not limit it to 315 HP.

Before buying , I checked some on-line dealers (can't remember who, sorry) , So. Cal. dealerships (three or four of them), CSAA Members discount , and even Costco . None was willing to beat the price I was willing to pay to Frontier Infiniti in Santa Clara, Ca. I spent approximately 4 months researching this S2UV and finding what dealer invoice was for the vehicle and options . These numbers were the best I could get off the Web. and after the test drive the salesman and I crunched ###'s. I walked out the first time we talked but left my cell #. (For all those dealerships and sales persons reading this post.) I really would not have come back unless Frontier Infiniti came close to what I offered . After a few more phone calls , I went back and crunched ###'s again . This time I drove off with a new FX45 ($53,000.00 out the door w/o a trade in or a car loan.) . Keep a eye on the dealer if you are going to trade in your car . If they don't front load you, they'll back load you on your trade in to make up for the difference $$$. Also, if you do a car loan with the dealership , they get a % or a kick back from the bank. This also factors into the true cost you are paying for the vehicle . If you need more info. just post and I'll see what I can do ! |

I just bought a new FX 35/45 less than a month ago and have put on 1,600 exhilarating miles on the vehicle. I have gotten alot of attention from onlookers as people have had only positive feedback about the car. I have experienced no problems with the vehicle besides only getting a shade over 16 miles(city/highway) to the gallon. I feel I have purchased a great vehicle for a decent price. I bought my FX 35 Sport Package AWD in Brick/Black for $ 37,568.00. I payed about $ 900.00 over invoice while trading in my 2000 Nissan Maxima SE with 46,200 miles on it for $ 12,400.00. Though the Maxima was in decent mechanical condition it did have some noticeable paint blemishes,as well as two worn back tires and Kelly had it at $ 11,400.00 and Edmunds had it at $ 12,700.00. I feel that I got a decent deal but definitely left a few hundred dollars on the table due to really wanting the FX 35. I just wanted to feel if people think I got a good deal or should I have waited for the '04 model with all it's refinements ?(see below attached link) I feel good about the comparison shopping part since I tested the Murano,not sporty enough and not as nice looking, the Lexus RX330, nice looking but definitely not enough power for my tastes and a few cars (Infiniti G35, Audi A4 and A6, and 2004 Nissan Maxima). I just feel like I could of got more bang for the buck if I waited for the '04's. But hey I like the vehicle and in 3 years maybe the vehicle will have been drastically upgraded power wise that I will trade mine in for a new one. I definitely would recommend this car to anyone who wants a bigger vehicle that looks nice and still has the traction and power of a smaller sports sedan. http://www.infinitihelp.com/Infiniti/News/2004%20Infiniti%20Line%- 20Up.htm

Anybody have another recent buying experience on an FX35 with Premium Package? I sat in one at the dealership 2 days ago and LOVED it! I'm of course thinking of buying a 2003 vs 2004, but would like to know what people are getting one for around the last couple weeks. Thanks. |

| See Infiniti's Limited Engagement regarding an excellent APR offer. The offer applies to 2003 FX35 (not FX45), I35, and the G35 Sedan. | |

Has anyone dealt with Grubbs, Riverside, and other online Infiniti dealerships to buy an FX out of state? Any advantages/disadvantages in using these guys--financing, shipping, tax/title/tag issues? I have not purchased a car online, and I am curious about the experience--any better than doing it in person? How did the deal work with the sales tax from the state of origin and the one you live in? Thanks.

| I bought from grubbs in april got a 35 rwd tech for 40543. I am not out of state but still 280 miles away (Texas is pretty big). Was the smoothest, easiest car buying experience I ever had. Even my trade was appraised sight unseen and no surprises on it's value when I arrived. I drove up a saturday afternoon signed a couple papers and was out of the door in about an hour. Stayed with my friend sat night and drove it back home sunday. Easiest time I ever had buying a car. | |
| Love the car. Some questions: Should I buy the rear view camera package? There does seem to be a blind spot when backing up. Are any colors going to be better for future resale? In one month the '03's will depreciate by about 20%. Should I wait for the 04's? | |
