#867 of 1135 Car_Man and other Board Sages - Dealer Add-ons by redline122 Dec 10, 2008 (1:45 am)
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?

Replying to: redline122 (Dec 10, 2008 1:45 am) All of those things you listed have very little real value. They're pure profit items for the dealer, with the exception of the maintenance. If you plan on going to the dealer for oil changes anyway, that might be a good deal.

Replying to: redline122 (Dec 10, 2008 1:45 am) The problem with a wheel/tire warranty is that unless all the tires are new, you really don't want to replace one tire with a new tire...you should replace both tires on the same axle (that's an anti-lock brake thing). The other issue is that if a tire needs to be replaced, they will probably want to replace it with one of the terrible tires provided on the new cars...and you, the wise driver, will want to replace that tire, and the rest of them with a much better tire.   The problem with pre-paid maintenance is that it's a discount from what they charge if you follow all the dealer recommended profit (they call them service) packages. Unless you are one of those who just follows whatever the dealer says you should do, you will save more money by selecting the real services you want at the big mileage intervals and ignoring their "prepackaged service packages".   lo-jack may be useful if you are in a high crime area....that's very geography dependent.   The permaplate and windshield protection are pure profit items to the dealer.....
#870 of 1135 M35x offer by junebug07 Dec 12, 2008 (6:08 pm)
I have an offer for M35x with Tech/Adv Tech/AFS lights...MSRP $54,045, Offer #1-$47,500 plus tt with 0.9% financing, or 41,000 plus tt-get my own financing. Why can't i get the 41,000 with 0.9%. Does anyone have inside info on what will happen in Jan? There are a lot of 08, M35x's sitting on lots, I am in Jersey and have been watching for about a month, I think that this is a good deal, but aren't the 09's coming, then what are the dealers going to do? Maybe I should wait a little longer Replies to this message: jimbob1 (Dec 13, 2008 10:20 pm) mltsurger (Dec 14, 2008 4:25 pm)

Infiniti has two offers going...one is a low finance rate; the other is money off up front. Take your pick.   No one knows what will happen tomorrow, let alone January. Manufacturers can and do change their program at any time. Sometimes there is better leasing on the X than the non X cars. The 09's are coming with some engine/transmission changes but no one really knows if the difference will be noticeable. Yes, a little more HP and 7 speed on some models...but at a price.   Generally, when the next years cars come out, they have no promotions or money on them for a couple of months to help sell off the older new cars which still have the money/deals attached. No reason that should change. Likely what you see today on the 08's will continue and the 09's will just sell without any special lease/finance/purchase deals until the 08's are gone.

Replying to: junebug07 (Dec 12, 2008 6:08 pm) The $6,500 difference in price makes it relatively easy to do better with your own financing.   For example, if you financed 100% of the $47500 at .9% for 60 months, you'd pay about $810 per month.   Financing 100% of $41000 at 5.75% for 60 months would get you a monthly payment of about $788.   This of course assumes you could get the 5.75%, and my loan calculator didn't go kerflooey.

#874 of 1135 M35 by alvinmathew88 Dec 14, 2008 (6:07 pm)
I am in the market for an M35 with the following options:   Platinum Graphite + Graphite Interior Tech Package. Sports Package Spoiler + Tint   MSRP of $50180.   Im thinking of offering Driveout of $40k. Im in the DFW area. Asking houston/dallas/infiniti dealers for their best price.   What do yal think?
#875 of 1135 M35 RWD. No options by SouthFla1 Dec 14, 2008 (6:50 pm)
It seems individuals are getting up to $12,000 off MSRP with various packages. Can I expect a similar discount on a base RWD M35 without any options? Given the MSRP is 44,715, is it reasonable to shoot for about $32,715 plus tax,tag? I live in South Florida.

Replying to: SouthFla1 (Dec 14, 2008 6:50 pm) It's not a matter of "expecting" to get $12K off MSRP... you have to ask for it.   If you are eyeing an '08 M35, I don't think an offer of $32,715 is unreasonable. How many M35's are collecting dust in the area you are going to buy in? Replies to this message: SouthFla1 (Dec 15, 2008 5:05 am) mltsurger (Dec 15, 2008 7:40 am)
