Replying to: redline122 (Dec 02, 2008 1:00 pm) M35 MSRP > 49770 (Sport and Tech) Invoice > 45544 Cash Incentive > -7500 TOTAL > 38044 M45 MSRP > 56170 Invoice > 51364 C/I > -8500 TOTAL > 42864 As for leases, the money factors (as of 12/2) were 0.0001, but the residuals are horrendous (for a 35 it is 44%, and for the 45 it is 42%) Time to consider OPM and not from Infiniti Finance... hmm...  Maybe I should offer an even lower cash purchase number?...

Replying to: dallasguy007 (Dec 01, 2008 8:35 pm) I have not made a purchase yet. I'm trying to wait it out as long as I can to see if dealers get desperate to get rid of one for a better price. As it stands, those are great offers and I probably should buy one and be on my way. For an update, I went to Sewell over the weekend and their final drive-out price was around $40,350 for tech package, splash guards, trunk mat, tint, and wheel locks.

Well, here's the offer that the dealership is considering - the sales manager will be reviewing my offer with the general manager tomorrow. The car has been sitting on their lot since September, where as they are bringing in profits on the G35 0.9% deals day in and day out. M45 MSRP: 56170 (sport, tech/nav) Invoice: 51364 C/I: -8500 Dealer's Cash Price Offer: 42864 My Cash Price Offer: 40626 + t.t.l. The sales manager informed me that they would offer the following items at their cost if the deal goes through: 3 year service package (that covers oil changes and tire rotations every 5k) for $240 Lojack for $599 He also has a friend/contact that could tint the car up for about $100 - he didn't want to offer me the dealer's tint cost of $270. Let's see how this flies.

Replying to: redline122 (Dec 07, 2008 7:03 pm) For those of you that might current car market better than I, what should I expect to pay for a 2008 M45X (with Nav) that has less than 10K. How about a 2008 M35X (with Nav) with less than 10K. Does anyone know if you have to pay the gas guzzler tax on a used vehicle?

Replying to: ocim (Dec 07, 2008 8:00 pm) There are some significant cash discounts being offered beyond the invoice price of the car. After doing some math, I found that taking standard financing with the cash discount price was smarter money than not taking the cash discounts and using the special IFS financing of 0.9% for 5 years. The reason why you are seeing such dump in M45 and M45x used prices is because the public and buyer perception of a V8 is very negative. The economic climate doesn't help matters either. I have spoken to about 5 dealers in my area and they all say the same thing that the G-sedans and the M35 are far outselling the remaining stock of any M45 that still sits idly out there. The offer I am asking is below the dealer's wholesale price from the manufacturer. I figure they can reap the profits on the G-sedans and get rid of the "white elephant" that is the M45. Don't misconstrue "white elephant" of a car not worthy of it's accolades from the media and industry technical analysts. It's still a great car - it just won't sell as quickly in this economic climate - and the dealers know this. You just have to convince them that you know it as well. |

Replying to: dallasguy007 (Dec 05, 2008 10:36 am) If I had to choose a dealership, I would definitely choose Sewell. They are very professional and have been courteous throughout our negotiations. They also have a ton of loan cars available for servicing, and even offer concierge service to pick up your vehicle and bring you a loan car when you need servicing done.

Replying to: chacko22 (Dec 09, 2008 3:29 pm) Has the dealership made any searches through out the US for the color and options you are looking for? The cost of them to get a vehicle from almost any where in the US would run around $600 - 800 as dealers trade cars around all the time. I am NOT saying that you pay for it. If they are able to deal on a car for 39,900 drive-out, I am sure they would be eager to get you the car you truly want for the same price you have negotiated. I just took delivery of an M45, and there were 3 M35 cars that were collecting dust. One was Blue Slate with a black interior - Sport/Tech One was Graphite (gray) with a black interior - Sport/Advance Tech One was White with a black interior - Sport/Tech If the colors are right for you, maybe you can ask Sewell to trade with the dealership in California. Or you can simply deal with the fine folks at the CA dealership and have them ship it out for you. |

I plan to keep this car for no more than 5 years. What sort of add-ons would you consider from the dealership if they are willing to sell at "discount". I was considering the following: windshield protection tire/wheel protection permaplate pre-paid maintenance lo-jack Anyone have any ideas on if I can get more bang for my buck by going outside of the dealership on any of these items?
