Did your I35 have the cold-weather package? What kind of mpg are you getting? The I35 is still on my short list but I have heard from a number of owners that the mpg is not near what the EPA figures state. In this day of high gas prices and the fact that premium is necessary I am very leary of getting a car with low mpg. My closest dealer, about 100 miles away, still wants $26,995(includes cold-weather package) plus transportation for his remaining 4 I35s.
Glad to hear you didn't have to bargain. I had to, and it wasn't as pleasant as it could have been.
The I35 does not require Premium. I pump regular, but premium will increase your power and fuel economy.
$26,995 is a little high. For an I35 with the Cold Weather Package, I think somewhere between $25,900-$26,250 is reasonable. I know if my dealer was selling me the one Cold Weather Package equipped I35 they had, I would have offered $26,250 tops.
Keep in mind though that the Nissan VPP pricing plan price is around $25,800 for the base model and $26,500 for the I35 w/ Cold Weather.
Nissan VPP Pricing is calculated as: (a dealer told me) 1.65% below invoice, minus all dealer and customer incentives, which in this case would be 1.65% below invoice, minus $2000.
The Cold Weather Package includes Heated Front And Rear Seats, Heated Exterior Mirrors and a Heated Steering Wheel.
My I35 doesn't have any factory options, except for a Trunk Mat and Splash Guards, but most I35s come equipped with those anyways.
Hope this helps.
Try looking in Washington State or Oregon... I35s for some reason don't seem to be popular in cold climates... (like the northeast)
It was a challenge finding I35s back in April, so it should be even more of a challenge now...
Although back in February it was pretty easy to find one... (at least in the southeast)
Good luck on finding an I35...
Is there any chance Infiniti might bring back the I35?
Congrats on your new I35
I'm lovin' mine after owning it for almost a year.
i am new to this forum,
i am looking into buying 2000 infinit i30, it has 120k miles, the car seems to be in good shape, clean title, no major mechaninc problems exposed, few dents here and there, color is biege,
seller asking for $7000, i am just worried about the high mileage and whether infinit has expensive maintenance?????
what are the major known problems for the infinit i30 (STD edition)?
you think this car is a good buy?
Regards
Mo
Are you sure $7000 is Edmunds TMV and/or Kelly Blue Book value? To me the prices seem a little high but I haven't looked up the blue book on a 2000 I30 in a while.
Maitenance costs for my I35 haven't been too bad, even though it is dealership maintained.
the Private party value on KBB is 7200,
Edmunds.com Used Car Customized Appraiser priced it @ 6,582
i will bargain with the owner and hopefully convince him to sell around $6500.
Thanks
There is next to no activity in this board anyways as the I35 has been discontinued and apparently a supply of certified/used ones are fairly rare. (my local Infiniti dealer only has 1 certified I35 and 1 non-Certified I30)
What am I doing wrong? The price is commensurate with book value.
It is a beautiful car, but I can't keep it since I moved to NYC. My parents have the car and aren't too happy they have to deal with the selling and keeping the car in the garage.
If anyone wants to buy this car it is in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. It is Black/black leather/all luxuries.
Help if you can with some tips on selling it. THANKS.
Also you could list it on CraigsList or eBay or something.
And if nothing else works, you may have to try a price cut. But I'd hit up the NYC Infiniti dealerships first and see if they want to buy the car from you.
The car is in PA - I will give that a try.
Craiglist is where I have it and other places.
THANK YOU for the reply.
That goes for just about anything...

They wanted it but a thousand below book price.
What do you think?
If I really could wait for better offers, I'd probably continue to hit up those NYC Infiniti dealerships (there is probably a dozen of them or so in the greater NYC area)
I have to admit though, a thousand dollars below book isn't a bad offer. Perhaps you could negotiate a little and meet somewhere in the middle, perhaps somewhere around $500 below book.
THANKS to everyone for their advice and assistance.
Wish it had been in NYC - it would have sold more easily than in Pittsburgh, PA.
Have a great day.
