Infiniti I35 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
...including side sills, rear spoiler and sunroof air deflector, dealer covers service 100% up to 15000 miles, spare bottle of touch-up paint. Not being in California, you can't get the same deal you can out there - here in Charleston, South Carolina I gladly paid $30,400 (drive out-the-door including taxes & tags). Now, of course - we cheat because the maximum state taxes you have to pay here is $300 on a new car, no matter what the selling price... Oops - I obviously didn't bother with the "cold weather" package here either, since we tend to have about 6 to 10 cold-ish days a year, either. It was 78-80 the last three days here - almost December, already!

Living in Calif. I didn't get the advantage of paying just $300 sales tax.
My price out the door...was $31818 including tax, license..and getting the car teflon protected inside and out. My dealer is giving me my first service free (only because when I brought it in for teflon...it took longer than he said it would..so he offered me free service.} Amazingly I wasn't offered the extended warranty.. but my credit union has a similar program..that's a better deal anyway.
That's in California.
I think I got a great deal on a great car.
On my 02' I35 Spt/Nav Purchase, the dealer says they get more on the I35 Spt/Nav, since you can see my was more over Invoice $1300 (4.1% Over). Not sure if this was a line.
Happy I35 Driving!
First I picked the car and requested to see the invoice. After matching the VIN numbers on the car and invoice I told them that I will pay 2% over the invoice + side sills and rear splash guards at invoice price with no installation fees. After about 15 minutes... I won my deal.
In financing I was offered a even better financing rate. I had a 5.89% and the finance dude got me on 5.5% for 5 years.
I have to admit that service was great.
I highly recommend to do all your home work on everything: invoice price, MSRP on all car configurations, know your future car before you buy, drive it 2-3 times with an interval of 1-2 weeks.
When buying inspect the car very well for possible damage. Do it all before you go inside to deal.
Have fun and good luck.
Great Deal on the Financing. I got 5.74% for 5 Yrs.
(By the way did anybody else notice a strange $400 extra charge on their invoice...some advertising fee..that the dealer pays Infiniti..that the buyer is then charged?)
mention the advertising charge of $400. Did you pay that in addition or was it included in the
$28798? If included and then you paid only tax and license with no documentary fees or the
like tacked on, I'd say you did very well. Thanks for your help.
My $28798 price included the $400 charge I mentioned.
Obviously this dealer must be finding people to pay Sticker, which is very hard to believe.
$500-$1000 Over Invoice seems to be the going rate these days. Good Luck, the I35 is great!
Sport pkg, winter pkg, sunroof and full size spare. I payed $811 over invoice price
(it's 2.7%).
Much appreciate your response.
The dealer is Leith Infiniti in Raleigh; The dealer told me he was giving me his best price as I own a 1994 Q45 which I had serviced at this dealer for the last 7 years. Sounds as if he was not giving me such a good deal. I live in Raleigh NC, so buying a car in EL Paso is a problem.
Anyone else have better deals which I can show this dealer?
That's not a bad price, considering you got all those extras. Sunroof Wind Deflector($50) Wood Kit ($300), Tint ($?) and Paint Protection ($900). I wonder what the dealer cost is on those items?
What dealer did you purchase this I35 from?
Post Pictures if You Can.

Have you seen any of the posts in the I35 forum about buying in Canada? Over 60 of us have done it. I do realize that you're 750 miles from Toronto, but that certainly would not be the farthest that someone has gone. Basically that exact I35 will sell for about $25,000 there. A $5000 savings might just be worth it. Take a cheapy flight up and a couple day drive home. Lots of people have written about this in the Pathfinder and QX4 forums too. I'm glad to provide details to anyone on this. Just drop me an email. Toronto and Vancouver are usually the best.

Don't pay for paint protection package, I don't think it's real. They just mark up on the window sticker and hope can get some easy guys. I know couple year ago a friend of my wifes paid $1200 came with her new car.
I can't get the driver's seat programmed even followed the instruction from the manual for few times.
Per Consumer Report The Dealer Cost is as follows:
Base invoice-($26,044);Add Destination Charge-($545);Less Holdback-($-288);Add Sport Package-($1,465);Add Sunroof/Sunshade Package-($1,217);Add Wind Deflector-($44);Add Spoiler-($431);Add Mud Gaurds-($59); Total Dealer cost-
$29,517;
My calculations indicate that if you paid $31,000,you paid $1,483 over the dealer cost.
This is less than the price offered me-$2,549 over dealer cost.
I would appreciate some others providing me with what they paid over dealer cost. Thanks!

Per your message, assuming no, that's $779 Over Invoice, plus what you got included at No Charge (Mats $80?, Oil Change $60, PinStrip $??), not bad.
Any pictures of the PinStrips, haven't seen an I35 with them?
njbaran99 - come East, and jdukie1 and I will play a couple rounds of golf with you. Between his ivory, your black, and my silver I35, we could start a dealership!!!
Nice talking to you both.
FYI: My deal at $29,200 included cold weather pkg, sunroof/sunshade, mud guards, 2 free oil changes (worth $90), all-season mats ($80). Just over $31K out the door. I spoke to our mutual sales guy, he said that jdukie1 was a tougher negotiator than me!!
Any comments on extended warranty?
I live in Long Island,N. Y. and on March 31 of this year,leased an "I" with the following options:sport package,sunroof/sunshade,cold weather,full size spare,spoiler,mud guards,and trunk mat. Sticker was $33,905.00 including destination charges. My purchase price was $29,694.19.
There was a $500.00 manufacturer to dealer rebate at the time. IMHO your not being offered that good of a deal, you be the judge! I don't believe in extended warranty's unless you are purchasing a car with a terrible track record. The "I" does not fall into that category. Good Luck!!!
