Did you trade in a vehicle or was it a straight deal? What you got for the trade vs the Kelley Blue Book value and the interest rate you are paying on the EX are the other 2 factors that help determine if you got a good deal overall.

That is a great deal, when you compare it to invoice price.
 
You did a little better than us when comparing to invoice.

I am looking to purchase a EX35 in the midwest with following specs:
AWD
Premium
Wood
Roof Racks
splash guard/wheel locks/cargo
 
MSRP 40,975
 
Right now the offer is 33,000, however I feel like that could be lowered. Any input would be helpful. I will not be trading in a vehicle.

The problem I see with these cars is there aren't too many of them out there. Infiniti only made some 30,000 of for 2008. Hardly any used ones either.
 
On the other hand, it's a 2008 and every single dealer and his mother are trying their best to get rid of them. So, and depending on which market you are in (populated or not), you may be able to drive a harder bargain. But then, how much more you can squeeze out of them considering time and your circumstances?
 
I think it's a good price but then, I am an impatient person and would want my things NOW
 
See if you can find one with a Tech/Nav packages. They are pretty much worth having.
 
Good luck!

In looking at some of these posts, it seems like others are getting bigger discounts, but I'm wondering if you can get bigger discounts when you add more options? I really don't have much need for Nav/Tech. I'm feeling like in this market I should have the cards in my hand, so I'm planning on getting a better price. I will post the final deal. Seems like in all the posts nobody has regrets on the vehicle, which is encouraging.

You might be able to get an extra $1000 or so discount if you buy a loaded EX35 that has just about every option vs. buying a lesser optioned one.
 
The MSRP on a loaded EX35 with AWD would be around $45,000 vs $41,000 for RWD one with only a few options.
 
Regardless of what discounted price you pay for the $45,000 car, the total depreciation will be higher on this vehicle.
 
For example, if your sale price was $32,000 on the $41,000 EX35, and we use a 60% value after 2 years, it will be worth about $24,600 if you sell it at that time. Total depreciation is $16,400.
 
If you paid $35,000 for the $45,000 EX35, which represents a $1000 greater discount, and we use the same 60% value after 2 years, it will be worth $27,000 at that time. Total depreciation is $18,000.
 
The depreciation is always calculated on the MSRP, not the sales price.
 
In addition, you will have paid an additional estimated $250 or so in interest to the bank on the additional $3000 you paid for the more expensive vehicle.
 
So, over the course of 2 years the higher priced car will have cost you an additional $1850 in depreciation and interest.
 
You should expect to pay more interest and depreciation, and that should not be a surprise, but the point being that you should not buy the more expensive vehicle JUST FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING A BIGGER DISCOUNT. Especialy, if you don't want ALL THE EXTRA OPTIONS TO BEGIN WITH.
 
My though has always been to find the vehicle you want with the options you want and negotiate on that one, NOT THE VEHICLE THE DEALER WANTS TO SELL YOU AND ENTICES YOU TO BUY.

Can anyone tell me what they are getting for average mpg for ex35 AWD. Preferrably not aggressive drivers as I want to get an accurate idea of what I can expect. This is my one big concern with the EX35.

My RWD gets 17/18 in a mixture of 70% city and 30% highway. I tend to use the HP when I needed it.
 
 If you are worried about 22 vs 18MPG then why bother buying a car like this. Get something with a smaller motor and less weight. For me I really don't worry about spending a coupe hundred bucks more a year on gas. If I did I would be driving something like a Honda Fit.
