Replying to: dwynne (May 07, 2008 8:59 am) Quick question...my dealer showed me two identical cars, one included a price increase that marked up the MSRP by $800. Was there an increase in the invoice price as well? The car we're dealing on is lower by the $800, so if I wait it may increase the deal as well. Do you know if the G35 sedan deals are better than the G37 coupe? I'm considering both due to the fact that I have two small children. We don't ride in my car often, but having 4 doors may be the smarter move altogether. Thanks again.

Replying to: jeremyw (May 07, 2008 9:15 am) I'm contemplating both of them right now.

Note that the dealer makes a 2.5% delivery fee if you use a VPP claim code, so selling you the car w/o VPP for $300 over or for VPP at $300 over should result is a good bit more profit if you used the VPP code.

If you are buying, the sedan is several thousand less for the same equipment as the coupe - a MUCH better deal. If you are leasing then the higher coupe residual makes it closer in price. Net cap is higher but so is residual. I got a coupe because my kids are just about all grown and mainly because they can never find a 6mt sedan in the colors and equipment I want. They found the coupe just like I wanted (except it had splash / net / mat) in the right colors so I took it. The lease terms made it close to the same money per month as a sedan with the same options. If you are getting an auto tranny car, then I would just get the sedan I think. You get the CD changer (trunk mounted) and a lot more cabin and trunk room and wider seats (even with the sports pack). The stereo sounds better in the sedan than in the coupe, to me anyway. Still a fun to drive car without a doubt. I would have a sedan now if the everything had fallen in place, but I still love the coupe. Slightly more to insure a coupe as well. There are one or two more things missing from the coupe that you get on the sedan, but I can't think of what they are off hand. Dennis |

Because of how few miles I actually rack up in a year these days, leasing seems to make a great deal of sense. That said, because I've never done this before, the intricacies are something of a mystery to me. I'm interested in the G37 Journey with Nav & Premium. I do not have a trade-in vehicle as I plan on giving my current car away. My FICO score is ~775, live in Texas, and can put money down if needed. Can any lease expert suggest a reasonable lease target I should negociate towards? Here are some highlights from a recent online lease quote: "G37 coupe with cargo net, illuminated kick plate, navigation, premium package. The MSRP is $41745. and the sales price is $39,720. 39 months 12K miles/year with first and license fees down $790.82 = $608.27. 39 months 10K miles/year with first and license fees down $781.11=$598.56"

Replying to: geo15 (May 08, 2008 8:37 am) Leasing is Texas is not so hot since they tax the entire negotiated price of the car - the same as if you purchased it. However, some folks have posted that Infiniti and Texas (or one of them) have worked out a tax break on leases. The only way I would think about it is if I didn't have to pay full tax or if the rate was really, really low (like 1% or less effective rate). Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (May 08, 2008 9:06 am) MSRP - $41,365 INVOICE - $37,781 TMV - $40,368 Assuming I'm understanding your suggestion, I should attempt to negociate a price w/in $500 of $37781, which will probably be difficult based on the fact that others seem to be settling for $40368 as reflected by the TMV. At this point I can get a lease quote from the dealer and perhaps some from leasecompare.com and go from there. Sound about right?
