Pros: Handling (I Traded a Lexus RX, the difference is night & day.) Power, seats, controls. xenons. Ride is fine with the 18s, if a bit noisy. Very tightly built. Load floor is very wide and usable if not that huge.
Cons: Tires. RE92s are generally panned for lousy treadlife and snow/wet traction. I expect the electronics will counter some of that. There are no real acceptable substitutes out there that I can see in the original size. Lack of a sliding cargo cover is a pain. Found a dealer in Dallas on these boards that sells them for $230. Will have to get one. Small glove box. need more under-floor storage. LCD without tech is a bit lame.
Post #135 RE: '04 FX45 fair price by newtisme Dec 01, 2003 (11:18 am)
I live in the SF Bay Area and got mine Blck, Brick/Blk, loaded for invoice plus 3% - and that was after a lot of research and various internet offers. I believe that's about the best you can do, and would be a fair price. Hope this helps. Let us know what happens.
Thanks.....

My deal: '04 FX35 Tech/Touring/Splash/CargoMat in DiamondGraph/Graph for $40,125 -- $400 over invoice ($800 over Edmunds' invoice). Ended up buying from a pleasant salesman from Infiniti Tustin. Metro Infiniti (Monrovia) had basically the same vehicle for a similar deal. I was able to work the deal down a tad bit more than what I negotiated over the phone. Email me if you want more details.
Also had a question: did any (or all) of you get floormats with an embroidered Infiniti logo standard? Mine came with rather average looking and fitting mats, and I'm wondering if I was shorted... Thanks and good luck to all.
Wibble- the all-weather floor mats (blk rubber) are much better IMO. They fit nicely and complement the brick/blk interior nicely as well....fyi
I don't know why people feel like they have to pay for this info when we have it here for free (unless you're Canadian - I don't know of any free CA invoice pricing out there).
We don't include the ad fees since they do vary by region.

Two questions:
- Pricing: How much below a comparably equipped 04 should I expect for a new 03? The first dealer I spoke to was not prepared to concede anything, I'm not so sure. I'm thinking 10-15%, but I might be unrealistic.
- "Suspension changes": were they enacted in mid '03 on some late-model-year 03's, or were the changes made only to the 04's?
Picked it up last Friday, no sport but went for the tech package and I'm glad I did. The rear camera is great and the nav is lots of fun, can't wait for a trip but I've enjoyed it as I driven back and forth to work (32 miles one way).
Thanks to all for your words of wisdom about your buying experience and your enthusiasm about the FX.
..... congrats rim! yup....I definitely agree with 93fsu1, I don't think I've ever had so much fun playing with a vehicle. Never knew there were so many cool back road alternatives to my daily 100 m. commute until I got the FX. Good choice with the tech. Have fun!
I didn't surrender the wheel until midway through the return trip. Then it was a challenge to get it back.
Even if given an unlimited budget, I would have no other vehicle.
Anyone with buying experiences in Pittsburgh to share?
Has anyone looked into getting a cargo cover? If so, any information would be appreciated.
the 04 fx 35 awd with touring and the usual small add-ons (splash guards and that sort of stuff) invoices around $36,200 including the ad fee. I was offerred the vehicle for $36,500, which sounds pretty good.
However, I checked the inventory on Infiniti's web site for a 20 mile radius from this particualr dealer, and found over 250 2004 fx 35 awd's available! That sounds like a market flooded with product, and I have to wonder if these should be selling for less. "Prestige" or not, supply and demand still applies. I own a G35, and the experience has not always been "prestige" Im in NY btw.
I got an offer of 35,700 for a plain 2004 FX35 rwd with premium package. Do you think it's a good deal? The thing is I called around and all the dealers seem to be pretty much around this figure. From what I read on these bulletin board, people have been getting a little better deal. The only dealer I dealt with on a face to face basis is Infiniti of North Houston and they was rather rude. Even if I get a deal at invoice, I don't think I would do business there. For those of you in the Houston area, can you recomend another Infiniti dealer or sales person in particular? Thx.
