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? | |
| Bear in mind to get the rear view camera you need to get the complete tech package. If you want all those items, great. If not, it's a lot to pay for a rear view camera. | |

If you are willing to spend the extra money for the tech. package it is well worth it , not only for the rear camera but for all the other bells and whistles . Never thought I would like key less entry as much as I do . No more pulling keys in and out of my pocket, just walk up and push one button . Color screen instead of a single color screen for radio, cd, nav. , a/c, etc... looks a heck of alot better ! As to the rear camera .... I do everything the same when I back my FX up as I would a normal vehicle but when in a tight position it really comes in handy . It will be difficult to judge your distance of your rear bumper in tight parking or backing up situations . The rear window is curved , tinted, and small which make backing up semi difficult . You probably can live without the rear camera ( obviously , due to the fact Infiniti offers this as an option and not standard) but if you are willing to spend the extra you will find it is very nice to have and will help you in your resale. |

| I am thinking about getting FX 35 with Tech package, and I am wondering if it's possible to get that at invoice (or $500 over invoice)? I live in D.C metropolitan area and would like to hear some buying experience. | |
