Is it a good deal on 2008 EX35?/? Sticker price $41,475, OTD price $35,665.77. Another Dealer gave me OTD price $35,552.
I want around $34,500 for OTD . Is it possible? Thanks for your input.

I also got almost $10,000 off MSRP. Just got my EX35 this past weekend in NY:
 
2008 EX35 Journey AWD in Black
Options: Premium, Navigation, wood, splash guards, roof rails, rail crossbars, & cargo mat.
I think it's seriously the second-to-last inventory in that trim left in the tri-state area.
 
MSRP $43,125
Invoice $39,384
Paid $33,400
(after $5,000 + $500 incentives) + $865 destination charge + NJ 7% Tax + DMV/misc fees = $37,060 out the door (give or take a few bucks)
 
0.9% would have required $5,000 additional, but with Chase auto loan of 4.69% APR (3 or 4 years; need 700+ credit score), taking the $5k discount was the much better choice.
 
I just also ordered a third-party $22 cargo organizer from Amazon (MSRP $160!).

Don't forget folks...We are half-way into 2009 and these 2008 cars are just metals occupying 2010 lot space.
 
Dealers would want to get rid of them at any cost!
 
I got mine in Feb/2009 with: RWD, Tech, Prem, Nav, Lux, Mud guards, Trail bars, Tinted, Cargo Net and Cargo organizer for $36,300 cash excluding tax.
Texas tax took it to $38000 OTD.

How Could your tax be so low. Is there a tax break or something? I understand that it is 6.25% sales tax of the selling price or trade difference in Texas?

With all these posts about 10K-10.5K off MSRP... it seems that you should be scared to think of what the resale will be like. The reviews of the cars quality look pretty good so Why such BIG discounts? I have found 6k to 7k off but not 10K.

Drive the car off the lot and you have used car that is one year old.

There won't be any 2009s, so I doubt that alone will greatly impact resale, especially when people will have lower mileage reflecting their purchase of the car in 2008 or 2009. However, that there are such great discounts on the car is indicative of 1) the economy but also 2) the fact that the car has not been popular for various reasons significant to the consumer public. That will impact resale value down the road. I recently learned from Saab ownership that typically uber discounting on the front end comes back to kill you and get erased on the back end. The difference between this car and the Saab MAY be that when the 2010s come out (with some minor fixes) and the economy gets going, the cars will sell for discounting that is not huge but at a medium level and that will dictate what people think of as the "original price" overall for the car sold in this several-year period.
 
We shall see. Every car has its downfalls. BMWs have great resale, but the cost of ownership (and repair) is really great. I was scared off of Audi's repair cost and reliability, same with Saab and Volkswagen and Mercedes and Volvo. No brand is perfect, except maybe Honda and that car was too boring for me. The G37 will have a better resale value than the EX35, but the EX35 costs $5000+ less to purchase an equivalent car and that impacted me, as well as having the utility of a hatchback.
 
But, agreed, resale is not going to be stellar. Hopefully I'll get a long, enjoyable, reliable ride out of this one to counter that.

But what ultimately sealed the deal is that I wanted to buy a really great (luxury, reliability, and performance-wise) car/small SUV/wagon for around $30-$32k. This was the only car that fit that bill, besides the Acura RDX which I didn't like at all.

I purchased my EX in Feb., didn't get a full 10K off, but right at 5K off including t.t.&). On a whole, I love this car: my husband and I are semi-empty-nester's so trip's aren't that big a deal with fold down seats. Leg room is cramped, so a third person should either sit behind the shortest front seat passenger or be on the short side.
 
There are a few little things that bug me, like no auto hatch (use it more than the auto-up seats but not DOWN) but nothing I can't live without. LOTS of gizzmo's that I really don't need, but they came with the deal. Just need to figure them all out! I'm averaging approx. 22 mph, more city than highway, so I'm happy with that.
 
The best thing for me about this car is the ride. I had taken a 2007 BMW 500 series out on a test drive and thought I'd found the car of my dreams. But I gotta say, this little dude rides like a cloud, plenty of comfort, and yes, even the memories of the sporty need is there when I step on the gas. I find myself over-driving the brakes a little, due to going too fast!
 
I am an ex-soccer mom, and have gone from sedans, coupes, full-sive SUV's and back to a sports coupe, and this car has fulfilled my needs very satisfactorily. I bought it outright, so I'm on OWNER, not a leaser, and I'm looking to pamper and take care of it. But don't be afraid of it...let's see Infiniti put their products to the test. So far, so good.

Good question!
 
In addition to my 15K, I paid the rest by trading in my X3 (very exagerated) for 23K and since I had paid taxes on the beamer already, the 23K was exempt from the 6.25%.
 
At least, that's how it works in Texas. Don't know about other states.
