My car did not come with splash guards. It did have the cargo net though. I am in the NE and would expect splash guards to be popular here. But, when I walked the lot of my local dealer, very few had the splash guards. And, I agree, I don't think they add to the look of the car.

Just curious, what does your Monroney (windows sticker) say about port of entry of final assembly point? Maybe the port used for the NE area does not have facilities to install them?

$1500 incentive by dionisij

Guys,
 
my dealer told me that Infiniti has taken away $1500 manufacturer-to-dealer incentive on G35 coupes. Edmunds, says that it will "expire" on July 2. Where is the truth, guys?
 
Thanks,
Dio

I will ask and see what a couple of dealers say. I do know the incentive can't be combined with the discounted lease deals and if you run the numbers it is cheaper to take the IFS lease than to take the $1,500 off a do a 3rd party lease.

Gents,
 
Here is the deal I was quoted today. Car will be in Friday.
 
G35 Journey Sedan
Color: Platinum Graphite w/Stone Leather
Premium
Nav
Tech
Tire/wheel
Splash guard
Cargo Net
  
MSRP: $38,615
Invoice: $35,332
Negotiated sales price: $35,723 ($391 over invoice!)
24 month lease with 15k miles/year
Residual= 65%
MF= 0.00112
Tax rate 7.75% (California)
 
Help me keep them honest...
 
Scenario 1) Drive off fees only

 
Scenario 2) Try to push monthly payment down a little

Note the $200 freight being added (hand written) to each drive off fee. Should I pay this?
 
What do you guys think? Good deal?
 
Thanks in advance for your comments,
Greg

When you say "it will be in Friday" is in coming in to the dealer as normal stock item, custom ordered for you, or a dealer trade to get you the color/options you want?
 
If the latter, then that is pretty normal. They charge you for either sending someone to drive your car back or to haul it back. The price depends on the distance and drive/haul.
 
I didn't run the numbers, but I assume you checked the invoice figure? The MF is the buy rate and the residual is right. Plug the numbers into a lease calc to double check them.
 
I would advise paying little or nothing down. Take the extra money and stick it in the bank and take out a bit each month to make the payment lower.
 
They are only charging you $45 for the doc fee, which is low. Combined with the "freight" that is $245 which is still not too bad - I have seen lots worse.
 
So the net is that you are paying $636 over invoice including all "extra" fees. That is not too bad, I don't think. Seen better, seen worse. If they had to go get your car for you, then your net is $436 over invoice which is not bad at all - nearly a VPP price.
 
Ask them to clarify the freight item, then go get your car on Friday.

I'm assuming you're in Orange County. I just got mine today. I don't think I got the best offer but the car's too good to regret now. Your comments are most appreciated.

Remember, you asked
 
Sedan?
 
I can't get an MSRP of $38,815 to work out for a G35 sedan sport auto. The car, destination ($715), premium, nav, and net would be $38,665 if I add the obligatory splash guards it goes to $38,805 which is off by $10 from what you typed.
 
If we assume you have the splash guards, then the invoice would be $35,459 or $1364.92 which is no where near ~$500 - or no where near a good deal.
 
Your 0.00245 money factor looks like it has been jacked up by the dealer as well. 0.00181 is the MF for the 39 month lease on the 6mt sport with 0.00158 for 36 month. On the "base" (I guess) sedan, the 36 month number is 0.00178 for 36 month, don't know the 39, and the 48 is 0.00238. So clearly your MF has been marked up, probably a good bit, for extra dealer profit. I was thinking the MF and residual for the sport auto and sport 6mt were the same, but I don't think that is correct - since the residual you state is higher than the numbers I have seen for a 6mt sedan.
 
I can't get the numbers to work out, but it does not seem that they gave you a very good deal. It IS a nice car, however.
 
You asked.

I agree with dwynne. When you are dealing with low low subsidized rates like this, borrow every penny you can and keep your money. You will earn more from a money market on the money you kept than you will pay in interest on the money borrowed.

Thanks guys. I knew I got slammed on the MF. I'm going back to the dealer anyway so I'm going to let them know. Here's the breakdown for MSRP:
 
G35 Sport: $33,450
Splash guards: $150
Prem: $2,350
Navi: $2,100
Trunk net: $50
Dest: $715
 
Total MSRP: $38,815.00
 
Does this work out ok?
