I live in the DFW (Dallas) area. I got a quote from Grubbs Infiniti which is higher than what Edmunds stated as invoice. They told me invoice for FX-35 RWD, Touring and Tech. package is $39,364. MSRP is $43,260. Edmunds invoice for touring and tech. pkg is $38,394. They were willing to fax over the invoice for me to see. I think there has to be another invoice for consumers vs. dealers. Any thoughts on that? Thanks!!!

I just worked a deal for a 05 FX35 AWD Black w/ Brick interior with Sport, Tech, and Touring pkgs. for $41,600 + tax and liscence. That is about $350 below invoice and also got the Infiniti 3.99% for 60 months financing. How would you guys rate this deal?

sphere99 · November 2005

I was wondering how you got the touring and tech packages but not sport? My dealer told me you had to get the sport package to get the tech package?

m35blur · November 2005

You do not need to order the Sport to get the Tech but you do need to buy the Touring. If the dealer told you Sport was required I suggest you find another dealer.

jsa23 · November 2005

I stopped by my local dealer over the weekend and was discussing the price of the 2005 FX35 when I asked him to show me the dealer invoice. He brought out a printed invoice with the dealers name and everything and the price was $32286 without the touring package. The touring package was going to cost about $2500 more and just wanted to know if the start price of $34786 is any good compared to those who've purchased this vehicle recently. I'm in socal so I guess location does make a bit of a difference.

Thanks

jdesmonds · November 2005

A leasing company told me this week that I can get a year-end lease deal on a 2005 FX35 ($485/mo., no money down, including tax), excluding 1st mo. payment and tags.

He also said that he has only 2 of them left, that they're hard to find now, and that the 2006 models are coming in February and will be more expensive to lease.

First, if I wait until Janaury (when my current lease ends), will there be 2005 models still vailable? And how much more will the 2006 models cost to lease?

guttapercha1 · November 2005

wowfx · December 2005

audreym · December 2005

Has anyone heard a release date for the '06?

wowfx · December 2005

Different dealers has different dates to offer... I seems sometimes in March now.

bosco4 · December 2005

I was at Mission Viejo.

I took the offer and feel pretty good about it.

ray18 · December 2005

I just completed my FX-35 deal and am picking it up tomorrow morning. Silver AWD with Touring and Tech, splash guards, cargo cover, black roof rails. $39,600 ($1100 under invoice) + you get to finance at 1.99% or 3.99% which is really cheap money. I'm real happy with it. They only had 8 FX-35's left and this was the last silver with the Tech and Touring. Tonight I'm a 41 year-old little kid.

Must be Christmas!!

audreym · January 2006

Every few weeks I have been doing a google search to see if any new info on the '06 model has come out yet... this morning I actually found the new pricing! I have found this info on several sites, but since it has not been published on any official infiniti sites cannot swear to its accuracy.

"The 2006 FX35 is available in two models -- the FX35 RWD, with rear-wheel drive and a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $37,800; and the FX35 AWD, with an intelligent all-wheel drive system and an MSRP of $39,300."

"The FX45, with a standard 320-horsepower 4.5-liter V8 engine, new Super Wide 5-speed Automatic Transmission with Manual Shift Mode and all-wheel drive, has a MSRP of $49,750."

Can anyone confirm or refute?

If you compare the standard options between '05 & '06, it seems that everything in the '05 Touring package are now standard for '06, save the sunroof and auto on-off headlights. Now std are leather, heated seats, seat memory, tilt/telescope steering wheel, heated outside mirrors, Bose stereo, and if you don't get the nav, the display screen is now color.

If you do the math, the price increase seems (to me) in line for all of the options that are now standard.

miata007 · January 2006

No! That's not a good price. It's an 05, it should atleast be $2000 below invoice. Don't pay the advertisemtn fee $250.00 (junk fee). They don't have the right to make a profit on leftover vehicle because they need to get rid of it(fast).

shopper06 · January 2006

Car_man,
I am trying to decide which is the better deal. Here are the terms of the 2 deals:

Tax & License: $2,934

Purchase used 2005 with 16,000 miles (60 month term):
Offer Price: $30,995
Interest Rate (my credit union): 5.75%
Estimated Payment: $510
Is it possible to negotiate this price for $31K OTD?

-OR-

Lease new 2005(36 month term):
MSRP: $38,500
Money factor: .00084
Cap Cost: $34,197
(My) Estimated Payment: $471.81
What am I missing with the lease? This would be my first...

I would like to push the envelope for the lowest purchase price possible, and to get what I want for my trade (At least $12K for a 2001 Chevy Tahoe-93K miles). Any suggestions would be great.

dcfx35 · January 2006

I bought an FX 35 with Tech, Touring, XM Radio,cargo protector, splash guards, in silver for $39,612 plus tax and tags (incl. $325 destination - note that this charge apparently is negotiable - and $50 processing fee from JBA in Ellicott City (near Baltimore, MD).

My reccommendation: comparison shop via e-mail. I sent out a dozen or so inquiries and received a couple of pretty good offers. One dealer (Sheehy of Annapolis) sent great quotes, but when we started to negotiate price, wanted to charge another $700 to get the car to me from South Carolina.
My company also offers the VPP, but it turned out that the dealers cannot negotiate if you give them your VPP number and the quotes I received with the VPP discount were not as good as what I ended up paying without using it.
Apparently, there is a $1500 (one dealer said $1000) dealer cash incentive going on now.
Overall, it was a great experince shopping online and over the phone and not stepping foot (=wasting time) into a single dealership until ten minutes before I signed the paperwork.
Wanted to pass this along to the Forum.

muttball · January 2006

I went out the 2006 Detroit auto show last weekend to look at the 06 Infiniti fx35. I would say the interior has improved with the change of the audio controls and the armrest change. I was disappointed to see that the new FX did not have a true push button start. And after speaking with a company rep they have told me that the 2006 will be in the showrooms in February. I have access to the VPP plan but it sound like you could get a better deal with out it. I am looking to buy a FX35 some time this spring. Any advice on purchasing a new FX?

dcfx35 · January 2006

I was told by two dealers that once you tell them that you are a VPP buyer, they are not allowed to negotiate with you as per Nissan's company policy. This could work in your favor if you are pretty sure that you cannot get a below dealer invoice price or simply do not want to bother to negotiate. In my case, since I was planning on buying an '05 and thought that an under dealer invoice price was realistic, I chose to take a chance and negotiate rather than mention the VPP. Worked for me. VPP can always be your fall-back, since once you asked for a quote you know that this offer price will remain there for you in case you cannot get anything better. I would suggest to get a VPP quote from a dealer you are not planning on buying from, and then to comparision shop online. Hope this helps.

mmstudio · January 2006

Just bought a 05 FX35 Touring, XM, Splash Guards, Roof Rack and Cargo Protector. MSRP: 40960(incl. destination charge). Invoice: 37444. Got it for around 1000 under invoice (Processing fee included). Plus the dealer offers free scheduled service for 2yr/30k miles, one free detailing every year and free oil change for life time. The dealer is Infiniti of Chantilly, VA. Very nice ppl to work with. Only took me 5 mins to negotiate and less than 1 hr to do all the paperwork. This is my best experience ever in a dealership.

lame_lexus · January 2006

I think I have one dealer in Southern CA, thinking about invoice $35,400 on an 06/fx35 rearwheel...

Anyone gotten a better deal yet?

lame_lexus · January 2006

They've been selling them for a couple of weeks in southern
CA....

miller14 · January 2006

I just negotiated a deal over the phone for a 2005 FX35 RWD. It has the touring package, roof bars and splash guards. Here is the deal:

MSRP: $38,990
Selling Price: Believe it or not I am not sure (I was told it is under invoice)
Terms: 39 month, 15K miles/year
Nothing Down except first month's payment
Monthly payment: $454 a month (including tax)

My husband finalizes the deal tonight, so a response as to whether this is a good deal would be appreciated asap! Thanks in advance....

remove4river · January 2006

$35,400 for a RWD could be a good deal but remember with tax and license (about 10% in CA) it will be close to $40K. I guess it really depends what features you got on it. IF you got it with the navigation system then yes it would be a great deal but otherwise it is just an average deal. What was the sticker price on this particular model?

empirepd · February 2006

How do you get VPP pricing?

fxdude · February 2006

I just purchased a 2006 FX35. I basically got 3% off sticker on the unit (and I negotiated a little more on my trade-in). I first tried a dealer out of state when I was travelling on business, and they told me they were only selling at sticker when the 2006's were coming in in about a month. They were not intereested in negotiating a discount before the cars were to arrive. I needed to buy a car right away so I am happy with my lousy 3% off sticker. Maybe you guys will do better? I beleive that the end of March is the Infiniti fiscal year end so that may be a good time to buy.

wantanewone · February 2006

A dealer with vehicles in stock has offered me $500 off MSRP under the "Costco" buying program. Is that the best I'm going to find in the next month or so? I mean they've got $4100 of profit built into the MSRP, and that's not even counting the holdbacks and incentives! Ouch!

mattjp · February 2006

Just purchased a 2005 FX35 that had been an executive demo (i.e., not titled, considered new for warranty purposes), with 5500 miles on it, still perfect condition. AWD, Tech + Touring, Diamond Graphite/Graphite -- paid $35,100 + TTL (MSRP of just under $45,000).

jtstitzer · February 2006

That's a great price. I am in the middle of negotiating for the same, a new'05 FX35 AWD Tech, Touring, in Brilliant Silver the lowest they will go is $37,352, MSRP is 45,520. They are giving me $3200 under invoice.

cedwards · February 2006

Sounds like a great price to me. What dealership did you buy from? I got a price for $34,900 for just AWD and touring. Any suggestions on what I should be paying for a 2005 at this point would be helpful. Are there dealer incentives for the 2005 models?

jtstitzer · February 2006

I took the plunge on the price I mentioned above. I went to two dealerships and they were both offering $3200 below invoice on the 2005 models.

The invoice on my new 2005 FX35 AWD with tech, touring, splash guard, & cargo area protect was $40,512. They would not budge on their price of $37,352. I really wanted AWD, tech, and touring and this was the only dealership within a 50 mile radius that had it.

In CA there are very few AWDs left. So I had to take it at this price. Overall still a very good price.

I have read that Infiniti's fiscal year ends in March so if you can hold out that long you maybe able to get a better deal. Even if you hold out until later this month would be a slight difference.

Good luck.

cedwards · February 2006

Thanks for the help. What dealership did you buy from in California? Should I get the 18" or 20" wheels, I live in Cincinnati area and we get snow in the winter. Heard the 18's do better in the snow. Would they also take 3200 off invoice for one with just the touring package?

kyfdx · February 2006

I'd price a set of 20" tires... that should make up your mind for you...

They look nice.. but that is the only advantage..

Nice winter in Cincinnati this year, though... not many potholes...

jtstitzer · February 2006

Cedwards,

I was in contact with Thousand Oaks infiniti first when they gave me the price of $3200 off invoice. I then emailed other dealerships and told them what I was looking for and that Thousand Oaks was giving me $3200 off invoice. Costa Mesa emailed back and gave me $3200 off invoice. They emailed me the MSRP and their invoice, Costa Mesa was very straight forward with me and I had a pleasant experience with them. I would think that they would give $3200 off just touring as well. They need to get rid of their old stock. I also heard that 18's do better in the snow.

ebuchholtz · February 2006

Just purchased '06 FX35 with touring package. Paid $37,000
including all dealer charges. Very pleased, think I did okay. Purchased in Clearwater, Florida.

audreym · February 2006

ebuchholtz, Do you mind if I ask what % over invoice or % under MSRP did that turn out to be (not including tax and tags)?

much appreciated!
audreym

ebuchholtz · February 2006

audreym,
Invoice was $36,555. So I guess that would be about 1% over invoice, if my math is correct. Hope this helps. Love the car, rides beautifully. The dealings with the dealer were pleasant, just had to stick to my guns.

aveghte · March 2006

The vehicle was RWD only, right? Did you compare RWD and AWD options? Does the RWD show better acceleration and any difference in handling?

ebuchholtz · March 2006

Yes, it is RWD. Since I live in Florida and don't do much off road driving, felt the RWD was just fine. It supposedly gives a little better gas mileage and acceleraton.

rokum17 · March 2006

Does anyone know if the incentives on 2005 FX are carried over from February to March?
