What would be a good net cash price to buy a 2008 M45 2WD with zero options? I'm not a current Infiniti owner. Can I expect to pay about $1000 to $2000 below invoice price including the rebate? I'm in Dallas but could buy anywhere. I'm in no rush. No trade-in or financing. I have never seen a M45 on the streets anywhere and no one seems to talk about them in the forums. My local dealer did not have one in the showroom and said the M35 is the biggest sedan they sell. Does Infiniti really make the M45? |

New Car managers and sales people get paid off of the gross that they hold. It is irrelevant whether you are leasing or buying, putting $1000 down and financing $45000, or stroking a $46000 check Each car has an invoice, holdback, maybe some dealership retro bonus money for hitting a monthly target, etc. General sales managers get paid off of Front end gross, and back end gross (the money the F&I dept. makes for selling you a rate a point or two over buy rate, pushing a warranty, or glass etch, or whatever. The F&I dept gets paid on the back end gross only. The GMs get paid off of the whole dealership Everybody is working their pay plan, which is based on gross profit held. The actual bottom line is that in reality if you are paying cash money the dealership loses a possible three or four hundred dollar flat fee that a financing bank might have paid the dealership for steering the deal to them, even if you financed at the buy rate. So, there is positively less incentive to give a cash buyer a better deal than someone who is financing, because there is no back end gross opportunity. Still, I remember many times that people will say, "What if I pay cash" I used to always laugh inside, and think..."If you only knew"

Replying to: walt18 (Jul 05, 2008 7:52 am) The exception to this is when there is manufacturer money that applies to financing or leasing, but not to cash. Then it gets interesting. One other option I''ve used is when there is money for buying but not for leasing, don't use manufacturer leasing. Years ago I had a Nissan dealer arrange financing thru GE credit because Nissan had some dealer money that only applied to purchases. I was paying a higher interest rate, but with the money back, the lease cost me much less. |
