#1025 of 1140 blue dots on rims!?! by dodgerdog May 28, 2009 (5:14 pm)
About a month ago I purchased a new 2008 m45. Fast forward to this afternoon, I am looking closely a my rims and I notice there are tiny (just less than 1cm) blue splashes of what appears to be metallic blue paint on each of my rims. There is only 1 drop on each rim however. And there is no other evidence of this blue paint anywhere else on the car (i.e., I did not drive through blue pain as it is not on he tire or on the rest of the body. these blue dots are not symmetrical--tha is it appears someone splashed paint on the rims--but only one dot per rim and not in the same place on each rim.   So, I go to lunch today and in the parking lot of the restaurant and see a beautiful black new m35 (no license plates yet) and I go over to check out its rims, and it has the same thing!!!!   I bought my car in Sacramento and this one was in Riverside (some 450 miles away). also, this car had the polished rims.   does anyone know what the deal is? and how should I go about removing it?   thanks in advance!

Replying to: dodgerdog (May 28, 2009 5:14 pm) I'm pretty sure they mark the rim during balancing.. Either that, or it's the spot they mark to drill the hole in the rim for the tire valve.. (not the exact spot, just in the same radius on the rim).

I was told by the dealer that it had something to do at the time of import/ inspection at Customs. Who knows why?   They are barely noticeable and best left alone as removal could blemish the finish.

If you spray the rest of the rims blue, you will no longer see the dot.Good Luck
#1029 of 1140 Confused by hakunam Jun 03, 2009 (3:25 pm)
I am looking at 2 deals for a blue M35x 1) 06 with adv. tech package, 33k miles, 7 yr/100k CERTIFIED at $0 deductible for 29, 200 OTD from infinti of chantilly, VA. They are offering 8500 for my trade-in.   2) 06 with adv. tech package, 52k miles, 3yr/36k extended warranty (by infiniti at $0 deductible) for ~$27k from an independent dealer. They are offering 10k for my trade-in. I got the car through a pre-purchase inspection at the infiniti dealership and it checks out fine.   so, out of pocket would be 20700 in 1st case and 17k in 2nd.   is 19k in miles and 1yr warranty difference really worth $4k?

Replying to: hakunam (Jun 03, 2009 3:25 pm) Why would you not get $10,000 for your trade on the first deal? I would try that to close the gap some.   Also, are you sure the second car (or either for that matter) haven't been in a wreck? Did you get a carfax?   Your first deal sounds a little high to me. I just bought a similar M45 For $28,000 drive out. I do like the 7 yr/100k warranty though. Mine included that.   I think I would go with the first deal. You will have better peace of mind with a certified car with that kind of warranty.   Good luck Replies to this message: shmang (Jun 03, 2009 6:29 pm)

Replying to: buckyp (Jun 03, 2009 6:07 pm) Well, basically, both deal has the same warranty period, since the 3yr + 4 yr from Infiniti will make it 7, only the 2nd deal with less mileage coverage - about 12k miles less.   I definitely do not think that with the additional 19K miles on the car worth $4k. To be honest, the engine and tranny on M are the least thing I would worry about - they are bullet proof.   Either way, warranty is a waste of money. If it were me, I would talk to them and see how much they will come off w/o the warranty and go from there.
#1032 of 1140 Confused with Incentives/rebates by jms8090 Jun 04, 2009 (11:42 am)
Wow, I have to admit that I can't make heads or tails of all of the incentives that are out there with respect to an M35. I am not a returning owner/lessee, but I think that I would be eligible for conquest cash? I have a Toyota and would be going to the Infiniti. Can someone help me with the stacking of the incentives on either a buy or a lease? I am assuming of course that I should start with invoice minus these incentives and possibly some or all of the holdback. Any replies would be helpful. Thanks!

Replying to: jms8090 (Jun 04, 2009 11:42 am) I would like to know if the $5000 "marketing allowance" can be tapped into along with the $2500 "conquest" money towards a lease. The only restrictions listed on the marketing allowance is that is cannot be combined with the low apr offer. Anybody know? $7500 below invoice would be awesome and help offset the likely low residual on a lease for this model. Will someone also post the residuals and money factors for June M35's please?
#1034 of 1140 How is this deal by shelly40 Jun 07, 2009 (4:27 pm)
My M45 lease expires in 5 months....but due to things, I'd like to get the new car now.....   I was offered an M35, with the Technology package, and Sport package...for 47,500..   Sticker is about 52,200....   The dealer will pay my last 5 payments of about $800 each....so I'll no more responsibility for the car...   Questions are...   Does the dealer really have to shell out $4000 to Infiniti for my lease ?   Good deal , or pass on it....? or can they do better ?   Shelly Replies to this message: shmang (Jun 08, 2009 9:24 am)
