Sewellgsm,
You are claiming that Infiniti has not built one EX35 in the last 3 months. Considering this is mid December 2011, you are saying that not one EX35 has been built since mid September 2011 - about the time when 2012 EX35 models were introduced. Per your claim, not one 2012 EX35 model should be around US. Is this believable?
If I go to www.cars.com, and search for new car inventory, as of today, there are 1550 2012 EX35 available across US - a production rate of almost 500 cars per month not including the sales.
So help me square the circle.
I can understand lower levels of production. Compared to Jan-Nov 2010 sales of 7409 EX35, infiniti has managed to sell only 5486 EX35 from Jan - Nov 2011. Hence, the lower production levels. But it is hard to believe your claim that no EX35s have been produced in the last 3 months.
Despite being a fantastic car, I think that EX35 lower sales is partially a reflection of very little incentives infiniti has been providing to this line. Infiniti marketing has to do some number crunching to figure out the right incentives to get the sales going.

#574 of 583 2008 EX35, 52k miles ... need some info

I'm looking at a 2008 EX35 that has 52k miles, one owner. The autocheck report is clean, but it does show that it was purchased at a wholesale auction. Given the VIN, can I trace this car any further and find out what was paid at auction (Eastern Region)? The car was originally purchased in New Jersey.
I've read some reports of issues with brake rotors, etc., and I'd be very interested in learning any potential issues with this model before purchasing.
Any advice on fair pricing for this would be welcomed, too.
Thank you.

7k less than MSRP has to be one of the better deals I have seen.
Can you let us know which state/dealer?
Also, congratulations...

Thanks!
It was Monrovia, California/Metro Infiniti.
I used car buying service with USAA online, and was contacted by several dealers. Metro Inifiniti had the car I wanted.

Sorry, have not been on Forum lately...yeah I order vehicles every month for the dealership I work for. We were extremely low on EX and needed some more and they did not offer to build us any for 3 months. We did not get to order any in May either....I think they are going to discontinue this car.
I like the vehicle too, just letting folks know what I'm seeing.

The EX35 Looks wonderful! Have looked at CR-V LX, Hyundi Santa Fe, Chevy Equinox. The only thing I don't like is the poor gas millage compared to above (but much more power)...but otherwise it's really beautiful inside and out... guess it's hard to get power and good gas millage.
Any opinions on this purchase appreciated....
