New EX For Me by djdvine

Well, after doing quite a bit of research, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a new EX today. Details:
 
EX35 Journey RWD
Black Exterior / Graphite Interior With Maple Wood
Premium Package
Splash Guards
Roof Rails
Cargo Protector
--------------------
MSRP: $39,325.00
Invoice: $36,041.00
MY PRICE BEFORE TAX TITLE LICENSE FEES, ETC.. $31,241.00 (Actually, this included a $200 delivery fee...talked them down from a $800 start point on that)
 
TOTAL PRICE after all tax title license fees, etc..$33,870.71
 
Note: This was purchased in San Diego, CA, and I secure my own fnancing BEFORE going to the dealership...and didn't say anything about a trade in. I was thinking about nav system, but I dont like not being able to use it while driving, so I'm just going to go get a portable one somewhere.
 
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the service I received. Really nice, non pushy salesman / sales manager...they stayed late to help me out. I feel I got a pretty good deal, and really that's what matters in the end.

A dealership in CA told me today that they are thinking April and supposedly, there isn't really a change

Looks like they worked from the invoice price, then passed along the $5000 incentive, then added $200 back in for the "delivery charge". There should not be a delivery charge unless they had to transport your car from another dealership in another city that was far enough away where they had to flatbed the vehicle to transport it.
 
I am curious about the interest rates in your market compared to Phoenix. I got 4.99% from Chase for 60 months, as I noted in my post a couple days ago. What interest rate did you get and how long was the term?

Well, I had financing from my bank before I went to the dealership, from USAA. They gave me 5%. I probably could have gotten it lower somewhere else..didnt really shop around..im pretty loyal to USAA.

This is a pretty good price!
 
I just got mine here in Texas: 2008 EX35, Premium, Nav, Luxe, Tech, Splash, Rail, Cross Bar, Cargo Protector and tint with Graphite/Maple wood interior for a total of $36,350 before taxes.
 
I didn't got for the lease coz I'd have lost the incentives so, I traded in my old vehicle at $22,500 (no tax) and paid the rest $15,000 in-cash (taxed).
 
Mind you, the G37 blows it away when it comes to performance! I might very well trade this one in couple of years for it

Is it a Rear Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive?

It's a RWD.
 
I didn't go AWD coz it would add more weight (less power), reduces the turning circle and where I live (Texas), I don't to slid and slide
 
The Cons of this car are (sofar):
1- The sunroof would leak a bit if you take it to a touch-less car wash (direct water pressure)
2- Fuel Pump will need to be replaced if you hear a humming/groaning noise on startup from the right rear-passenger area (warranty)
3- Steering wheel might need centering and/or the car might pull (Bulletin ITB08-046) -- Wheels/Steering alignment
4- Lack of rear passengers space (personal issue)
5- Since it's Infiniti's first EX, it's bound to have issues but then, a good dealership(s) would be an asset to have.
 
I wish it was built the same way they build their G35-37s. Much better engine starts, power, breaking and attention.
 
The Pros:
1- Much more value for money if compared to other vehicles (BMW, Volvo, VW, Audi, Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Acura).

I usually get a new car every two years so, none of the above bothers me much.
 
Best of luck!
 
Zan.

Bought Used EX35 last week by JSB_S4Avant

Not too many used ones out there, but we bought one with 12k miles on it, all options, sticker price of $45,615 - for $27,888. Scarlet Silver/Chestnut. Found out afterwards that the Infiniti dealer we bought it from bought it at auction for $26,553 just a few weeks earlier. Feel pretty good about the deal.
 
My wife has been driving my '06 S4 Avant while I take care of registering, inspecting, etc., her new EX. I realize this will sound like heresy, but at a sticker price of almost $20k less than what my S4 cost a few years ago - the EX is a much, much nicer vehicle in just about every respect. Sorry, but it's true. Looks like whoever leaves the house first in the morning is going to be taking the EX35 for at least the next few weeks!
 
If this thing holds up, it looks like I'm finally going to break that nasty German car habit I've had for the last decade or so.
 
Thanks to those of you who have posted your experiences, very helpful in our decision process.
 
BTW, I live in the Boston area and drove to LI to buy the car (ironically, the next town over from where I grew up) and got a stark reminder of how sleazy the stealerships are in the Greater NY area. Not that they're much better anywhere else, but these guys really take it to the PhD level. Would say my worst car buying experience ever - but I guess I shouldn't complain after the deal we got.

Sounds like a good price on the EX, as it is somewhere around Invoice, less the $5000 incentive. How good a deal anyone really gets when there is a trade involved is also dependant on what price you negotiated for your trade in compared to the Kelley Blue Book value. Provided your car is in excellent condition, you should get very close to what the KBB Excellent Condition value is. Some dealers can make all theire money on the trade if you're not careful.
I'm not asking for what you got on the trade as that is your personal business. Just making sure we are all keeping the car dealers honest.
