Replying to: lfo (May 20, 2009 8:17 am) That is good news for everyone that bought a 2008 EX. We canot say for sure yet what kind of resale the EX will have. In 3 years it may wind up being a great choice as a used car. One thing it has going for it over all American made SUVs is that it won't turn into a 3 year old piece of junk with rattles and clunks. The vehicle will be as rock solid as it is when new. |

Replying to: SilverC6AZ (Jun 08, 2009 3:11 pm) Hmmm, okay, let me look this "new" model over. I've just downloaded the e-brochure from Infiniti's website. The distinctive Luxury Elite textured leather upgrade is gone. Certainly, a bad move. Moving the Bose out of the Premium Package and tying it to the navigation looks like another loser move. The noise generating roof rack is now standard equipment. The leather is standard now...did anyone actually find a cloth interior on the lot last year? So we've got a thoroughly de-contented '09 with a substantial price increase. Wow! I think these changes are so bass ackward that they might finally get those last straggling 2008's off the lot after all. This sounds like a good way to ensure the demise of a very cool vehicle. Moreover, I don't see that ^^^ strategy helping the street cred of a near moribund model at all. How about carving out a couple inches of rear leg room, a nice "value pack" on the base model and a six-speed manual transmission option to emphasize the sportiness of this sporty utility instead? Perhaps, it is time for Nissan to punt here.

Not much anyone else has to share about their opinions is going to change my outlook: The car is built rock solid, has a quality fit and finish inside and out, has more power than anything else in it's class..looks sharp and will always be a low mileage car, due to the fact it is an '08 and was not put on the road until Feb '09. I'm sorry but, buyers of 3-4 year old SUV in the $20k+/- price range, are just not that fussy over a few inches of rear leg room in the back seat. In 2012, the resale value will stack up or better anything in it's class. |

Replying to: charlesb (Jun 09, 2009 7:16 am) The naming of options might have changed but not the price!? I just priced my FULLY loaded RWD 2008 and it came up to a bit lesser price even! What gives?  Z.

Replying to: Zanboor (Jun 09, 2009 3:28 pm) Let me add that I think this is a much better, and simpler, way to set up the options for this model. I just wish that some of niceties like Luxury Elite leather were still on the options menu. I dislike when car makers pull options after a single model year. I also think lumping the Bose stereo in with the Navigation is an attempt to increase the take rate on the latter and contrary to the way that Nissan/Infiniti usually packages premium audio. Including the around view monitor system as a no cost add in with the Nav/Bose package is just short of brilliant and a real value add, it starts to get hard to say no to Nav with it gives Bose, Around View and the Sonar parking sensors in the bundle too. All in all though, this is a much more coherent, simple (and as you noted...less costly for a "full boat" car) option scheme. |

I am trying to buy a 2008 EX35 and I would like to know what would be the best OTD for this car. It listed 41.5K. Since this is a last year model and its one of last 2 EX for the dealer.... I really appreciate if anyone can tell me the best purchasing price for this car. Thank you.
