The M35X seems high. I just bought an one w/tech, xenon, cargo mat, splash guards for $41,450 OTD.

I would definitely go with the M45. The M35 is fast, but the smoothness and rocket like acceleration of the M45 is no match. When I was shopping for the M, I test drove the M35 and M45 back and forth several times and try to save some $$ by getting the M35, but had a hard time every chance I test drove either - even there are some sweet offers from M35. So, I have to settle with the M45 (Paid $7k more and to date, I still think it worth ever dollar I paid). Just do yourself a favor and test both of them out. The choice is obvious if you are buying the M for its performance.

M35 vs M45

I guess it depends on why you are buying the car, and how much money you want to pay. I think that the M45 price is too high, but then again so is the M35, unless that price comes with 0.9% financing. I believe that there is also a gas guzzler tax on the 45.
To all of you out there with 35x prices less than 42,000, r u getting any special financing from Infiniti?

With the above advice I will test drive both and lean towards the M45X and negotiate for a better price.I just don't see a lot of auto sales at 40k or above with the current economy.Thanks

There is no gas guzzler tax for the M45. The gas mileage on M45 is rated 16/21 while the M35X is at 16/22 and M35 is 17/23. So, there is not really much difference. But, the performance gain is huge. But again, it depends on how much performance you want and how much money you want to spend / can afford.
I guess the price for any luxury car are too high if you look at what you get. With $42k, you can get yourself 2 Nissan Altima SL. Just as the name indicated, it is for luxury and you need to pay extra to get luxury. If it comes at a price that everyone can afford, it is not luxury any more. The same goes to premium, exotic, etc...

Just FYI, if you build your own M on the Infiniti website, the M45 has no gas guzzler tax, but the M45X having slightly worse gas mileage adds a $1,300 gas guzzler tax.

Just checked on the web site and you are right - there is gas guzzler tax. Wow, I did not realize the gas mileage of M45 (X or not) are that bad... Oh, well, I guess that is the price to pay for the extra hp.

Thanks jbr613. After some additional negotiation I purchased this car for $38,100 plus TTL. The total ODT price was $40,596 which included $2286 for taxes and $210 for other crap. This car does have the Technology Package and the trunk mat but it did not include the xenon and the splash guards that you got with your purchase. So if I add the invoice prices of those two items to my purchase I think the two of us are in the same ball bark. I purchased the car from Douglas Infiniti in NJ.
