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.

There will be 2009's and they are coming out soon. Nothing changed about the EX for 2009 except the price went up about $1500 - $2000.
 
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.

So Infiniti has been sitting on the 2009 factory production for the U.S. market for ten months just so they can dump them into dealer inventory a month before most 2010 models hit and haven't changed anything, save an increase in the sticker price by $2K.
 
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.
