#27 of 123 Price Paid by metaphysics Dec 12, 2007 (11:14 am)
Just got a 100% FULLY loaded G37 Sport (MSRP $45,345) for $500 over invoice ($41,679) and, in addition, got the $1000 rebate due to being a current Infiniti owner . No haggling at all. Called and made the deal on the phone in 10minutes.    Once the $1k was applied to the deal, the 24month/12kmiles/yr lease came to $521.25/mo+tax with $646.31 due at signing (whish is the 1st and title/reg).   This is a great lease deal (cheaper than Journey or 36&39mo lease) because the sport has a 75% residual for 24mo. Some people are getting deals at invoice but I'm only kicking myself a little for not going for it because I think I still got a good deal.

Replying to: jakk100 (Dec 24, 2007 9:16 am) The car industry has been more than sluggish recently including Infiniti. Even new entries into the market such as the G37 are getting discounted aggresively. A local dealership near me has around 40+G37s. Buying at the end of the month and choosing cars in stock will get you a good deal. $500 over invoice is happening for all Infiniti models regardless of what the sales people tell you. Shopping on the internet can save alot of leg work as well. Than you can get the dealers to compete against eachother. The downward housing market has affected many industries as well but will be helpful to a educated buyer looking for a new car.
#30 of 123 Helpful advice appreciated. by jrivr Dec 24, 2007 (7:29 pm)
I am trying to decide between a 2008 G37S and a 2008 manual v6 accord coupe. This will be my first new car. The criteria that I am making a decision on are: 1. Reliability 2. Performance 3. Safety Meaning that I intend on keeping this car for 8-10 years. I come from owning a honda civic for 12 years with no major problems. I am also concerned about a rear wheel drive in snow, I am used to front wheel drive and I will be living in Cali for the next few years but beyond that I do not know where I will live. So with this criteria what is everyone's thoughts on this? Thank you for your time. Replies to this message: frommx5tomz3 (Dec 25, 2007 3:39 pm)

Replying to: jrivr (Dec 24, 2007 7:29 pm) jrivr,   A few thoughts since I have done quite a bit of homework on both of these vehicles (including drives)...   ARGUMENTS for the G37:   1) Handling - the single biggest distinction between these cars (for driving enthusiasts) is in fact RWD (G37) vs. FWD (Accord). If you are a sports car purist, FWD is much less appealing and for this reason alone, many G37 shoppers would not consider the Honda. You said that you are used to FWD (and may even prefer it for snow performance, although in Cali...), so you may not care, but there is a noticeable difference in handling/steering feel as a result. The Accord handles very well for a FWD, but there is a difference.   2) Acceleration - this also favors the G37, but the V6 accord coupe has plenty of punch for most drivers.   3) Gadgets, especially iPod integration. The Accord does not offer iPod integration, but does offer MOST of the other gizmos that the G37 offers. However, if you want things like advanced cruise control and backup cameras, look at the G37).   4) Luxury brand association - worthless to many, priceless to others. Granted we aren't talking Mercedes prestige, but the Infiniti brand has some luxury cache, whereas the Honda brand represents different characteristics. The G37 might also be a bit less common on the road, but neither one will be exactly rare.   ARGUMENTS for the ACCORD:   1) Better snow performance from FWD   2) At least as good (if not better) build quality. I personally think the Infiniti feels VERY solid, but the Accord even MORE solid (very slightly). I don't mean better long term reliability, but things like material quality and fit/finish.   3) More room (significant difference in rear seat legroom/headroom and pretty big difference in trunk size).   4) Price - comparably equipped, there will be about a $5K price difference give or take.   5) Fuel economy - the Accord is noticeably better.   6) Other long term ownership costs (insurance, oil changes, repairs when they are ultimately needed). Over the life of the car, the Accord will be noticeably less expensive to own.   I think the two cars are close enough to equal on long term reliability and resale % to call those items a wash. (Accord probably a tiny bit better on reliability, G37 a bit better on resale). Styling wise, I am torn between the two, but you have to make your own call on that front.   I personally am about to buy the G37 (second and third place went to other RWD/AWD cars from BMW/Audi), but it is almost entirely for the handling/performance differences, gadgets, and luxury brand association.   If the Accord were RWD, I might buy it (for me) instead and pocket the savings. In your case, I would probably go Accord unless I read more into your RWD/FWD comments than I should have or (like me) you really want iPod integration and a luxury brand.   Hope this helps. But the best advice, go drive both (back to back if possible). They drive somewhat differently. Then decide if the Infiniti feels $5-6K better. It does to me, but not because of reliability, build quality, or safety.
#32 of 123 Deleting (Editing) items in phonebook by busman01 Jan 06, 2008 (10:41 am)
Just took delivery of my G37 and was uploading my phonebook. I made an error and want to erase a complete item from the phonebook. The owners manual does not address this (it only addresses inputs), and the dealer is perplexed as well. As the dealer is working on it, does anyone have a short answer?   Also, how do you enter a "voice tag" on an existing item in the phonebook?   Love the car!!
#33 of 123 G37 Purchase Price by busman01 Jan 06, 2008 (10:44 am)
I just took delivery of my G37 Journey. As I told the dealer how I wanted it optioned, he turned his computer screen so I could see it as he built it. His screen showed MSRP and INVOICE. He quoted me the invoice, less a $500 rebate for not being a current Infiniti owner. The price was the invoice as listed on Edmunds.   Further, I received an excellent trade in value for my 2005 F150 (again as indicated at Edmunds).

#34 of 123 G37 Phonebook Questions Answered by busman01 Jan 07, 2008 (11:12 am)
An FYI to my own posts.   Contacted Infiniti customer service (found in the search engine on their website). They connected me to the Bluetooth techies. In turn they walked me through the process to address the issues in my previous posts. They were very knowledgeable and friendly, and admitted the owner's manual could (should) be more clear.   Overall, very satisfied.
