Yes! I got my EX for 4k under invoice. It just takes a lot of work deciding on what you must have and what you can do without, then communicating what you want and what you are willing to spend for it with a dealer. I studied up on it and there are so many hold backs, etc.
 
One dealer I met said he was writing a book exposing the car dealership industry, and told me that they don't actually make the money on the car as much as on many other aspects of "the deal." So there is lots of room to negotiate, especially since they want to move these cars out with the '09s coming in, the the EXs have moved slowly due to a number of reasons.
 
I found someone to make a deal with about 50 miles away, but was willing to go as they were willing to make the deal I wanted. They pretended to have my car, but didn't really, tried to sell me others, but I knew there was one out there with my specs, so I told them, they looked it up, and it was about 75 miles away. They got it for me. I did let go of color choices, so it is good to have at least two combinations in mind.
 
I got the EX35 Journey with Premium, Tech, Nav, Wood, Rails & Bar, & Cargo Protector, Splash Guards $ 35,368. without TT&E. Platinum Silver w/ Stone/Maple Interior. The dealer suggestion at the Infiniti web site for this same car is $ 43,675.
 
Originally I wanted the AWD, but made the decision that if I wanted this car I would only pay under 40k for it. Also, it is much heavier with AWD and uses more gas. The car is so powerful, unless you have to deal with snow, it is something that is easy to let go of. I also declined the Luxe Style as I thought the tires would be too clunky, and have since read complaints about the special road following headlights that come with that package.
 
I paid cash back in May, but if I had been offered 0%, as they are today, I would have taken the deal that way and left my cash in the back, whatever meager interest it might bring. I love this car! Just got back form a RT trip from LA to San Francisco in it and it performed so beautifully! I would take this over the sedan any day as it is more sporty, fun and you have the option of carrying more stuff as the back seats go down, etc.

This is my first lease - or buy and i am very new to this - so far i have got the ex35 with nav/tech/prem wood cargo cover for 35,756 - with 15000 miles residual at 22,087.50 - from ct dealer - i get very confused at dealer price - invoice price - after reading edmunds and consumer reports and then you go for that lower price and they all just laugh so i am now down to just playing them all of each other - not cool but i got to pay for this sweet car- also no one seems to have an idea about the leaking sun roof so i thought that interesting after reading the blogs
what should i be asking for ?

08 EX-35 Journey AWD by sun7

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I purchased an 08 EX-35 Journey AWD with premium/nav/wood/splash guards/cargo protector/destination charge for $34,266 plus TTL. According to Edmunds, this was $262 above invoice ($39,004), less the $5,000 manufacturer to dealer cash which was passed on to us. Don't know whether it was a good or not so good deal, but having bought another car for me a month or so ago I was shopped out. Straightforward give and take negotiation. Great car, no problems for the first 600 miles and averaging 21+ MPG so far.

Has anyone bought an EX recently? How much did you pay?
When does will the '09 EX show up at dealers?

I just bought my EX and pick it up Saturday...Journey AWD with premium,Navi,Tech pkg, Lux Style, Splash guards, Wood Trim, Roof Rails and Crossbars, Cargo area protector. The sticker price was $46325. I paid $36350 not including tax, license ,etc.
I will say I probably could have gotten a few more hundred off if I wanted to drive a little further. I had three dealers and a couple of them were almost pleading with me to "tell them what it would take" to buy the car. I felt I got a fair deal so I'm happy.

I was getting our G35 serviced and looked at several cars in the showroom. Asked about the EX since my wife originally wanted one instead of the G. the salesperson stated to me there will not be an 09' model offered, but Infiniti was going to launch an early 2010 model addressing the lack of rear seat leg room.
 
Now, this is what I was told in a five minute conversation in passing, take it for what it's worth.
