Infiniti G37 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

dakineguy

I am in Southern Cal and just got quoted the following deal for a 2009 G37x sedan. Appreciate feedback if the following is a good deal as I am meeting with the dealer to finalize the sale...

Graphite/Stone
Premium
Navigation
Splash Guards
Total selling price is $37,863 (said that this is invoice)
Less the $2,500 incentive
Dealer said there is a $1,000 cash to dealer, but they do not pass on to buyer
Shipping fee (car is not available locally, found one out of state) $550
Wood trim not available (only after market available) $800
Add 10% for tax and licenses

Is this a good deal? If not, what should I be negotiating? I have a trade-in too and I am willing to accept the lowest wholesale price on Edmunds.

Thanks in advance for all feedback...

Forget to mention, it's a sedan.

Thanks to everyone in the forum for all of the information. I think I was able to get a good deal - or at least one that I'm happy with. This was the only car in TX with the options and colors (vibrant red/graphite) that I wanted, so I may have paid a bit more than I would have if I had gone with a more widely available configuration.

2009 G37 Coupe - Premium, Navigation, Cargo Net, Alarm Impact Sensor, Lighted Kick Plates

MSRP - $43,435
Invoice - $39,832

Price - $35,549
OTD after TT&L - $38,067

Seems like dealers are starting to really deal on the 2009 G37. Looks like people are getting cars almost $4,000 under invoice or between 15%-20% off sticker.

I am interested in a 2009 G37X. Don't need any additional options or even the premium package. What kind of deals have people been getting on this vehicle.

Do you think it is possible to get this all wheel drive vehicle with no options for $30K or $31,500 with the premium package. I will be paying cash.

Thanks.

Did you make the deal? If so, good luck with the car.
Which So Cal dealer? What was the part of the deal that wasn't available on a local car? The color combination? Wood trim?
Thanks

"But that price is NOT based on $2,500 incentives because it's not cash deal. I will finance the car. "

the deal ranges from fabulous to terrible, depending on the terms of the financing.

you have a choice between low rate financing from Infiniti (in the form of a loan or a lease, with 2.9% apr), or $2500 cash discount upfront if you do not take the Infiniti financing.

so if your dealer is selling you that car at $33.5K, AND providing you with Infiniti financing, that is a fabulous deal.

if your dealer is selling you that car at $33.5K, but providing you with independent financing (arranged by the dealer), it is a terrible deal for you as the financing terms now for a new car are roughly 5.99 - 6.99%.

you do the math, .

I noticed many posters asking "what is a good deal"? Let me tell you what we have been doing in Texas.

31 G sedans sold month to date @ an average of $2594 below invoice (which is around $5700 off MSRP) - the best deals (for the customer) have been at $3150 below invoice - so you can guage your offers and counter offers with that. (Don't forget doc fees, trade in values, financing, etc).

Now some vehicle are coming very hard to find - so the price may flex because of that - for instants Sport Pkg and vehicles with the Tire & Wheel Pkg are about sold out, certain color combos are done. We are down to 50 G sedans and we sold 5 today so at that rate we will be sold out by end of the year (about 15 of the 50 are demos). So, if you are in the market for one - now is the time; otherwise you will have to take what is left or go with the 2010.

PS I'll post some stuff on the 2010 tomorrow.

Hi SewellGSM, your apparent honesty is shocking! I wish more GSM's were like you!!

dat2

Hi, What do you reckon the inventory is like on manual trans G's, nationwide and at your shop?

houston_tn

Hey guys,

I've followed this forum for a long time and it has always proven to be a really valuable source of information. I've watched the remodeled G35 to the G37 sedans for a bit and it's my pseudo-obtainable dream car. I'm not in a situation where I have to get a new car though, but if the opportunity presented itself with the right price, I wouldn't mind capitalizing on it. I live in Houston and wouldn't mind traveling some distance to pick one up.

Basically my goal price is $27k. After running numbers with my wife that's what we want to pay based off a 3yr loan. Anyways, no trade in, but I would definitely not mind buying a used/demo G37 Sedan. Main thing I'm looking for is Lakeshore with Premium package with 15k or less miles. Any additional options would just be frosting on top. I'm sure the Nav would be really sweet to have, it's just that I'm sure it would put things out of my price range.

I would greatly appreciate your feedback, whether this would be obtainable or not, especially with the 2010s rolling out soon. Keep looking for a used/demo or do you think if I wait til late Jan or Feb a new one can be had at that price. Thanks again.

I have a code for the American Express $500 card referal for a new puchase or lease of a G37. Your new purchase/lease needs to be from an Infiniti Retailer between August 28, 2009 to November 30, 2009. I will receive $150 American Express card for referal. I purchased my G37 in July 2009.Must submit by December 31, 2009. Email me at sapboy@sbcglobal.net if interested.

I just purchased a 2009 G37x sedan with Premium and Nav pkgs, illuminated kick panels, splash guard and 3rd party wood trim to replace aluminum trim, trunk mat and cargo net. Total with tax, license, smog, registration was 40,594. This included 2,500 incentive. I also got a reasonable trade-in use as down payment. Financing was also provided at 4.89% over 60 months. I was extremely happy with the deal.

carx

Just sent you a message.

I recently took delivery of a new 2009 G37S Coupe 6MT with premium pkg and a list of "other" fluff(illuminated kick plates blah..blah). Total paid 33.3k+ttl. This was from Beshoff Infiniti and the buying experience was just awesome!

If anyone purchased an Infiniti b/w 8/28/09 - 11/30/09 and would like to participate in receiving $500 amex gift card I have a promo code available to use. Contact me at dsaukam at gmail dot com by 12/31/09.

Hello...I've been offered a g37 sedan with Premium and Nav for 35.8K Is this a good deal? What can I expect to pay for a 10K, 36 mo lease?

Thanks in advance!!!

snoopdawg

just sent you an email. AJ

sewellgsm

G sedan manuals - only 4 left in US (Hawaii, San Jose, 2 in NC)
G coupe manuals - only 43 left (sounds like a lot, but that is less than 1 per state).

Good luck.

dat2

I can't help you on the AMEX, but I just wanted to congratulate you on the 6MT deal! Did you have a trade and did you get a good deal on it? I bought a leftover 2008 6MT from Beshoff back in July and paid 34k plus TTL, so you definitely got a good deal. How do you like the shifter/clutch controls? I'm still getting used to them and wonder if the 09 is any smoother than the 08. Anyway enjoy your new ride!

dat2

Wow amazing. Thanks for the info. I wonder if that tells that people are snatching all of them up or are people dismayed by the past several years of freaky clutches/shifters on Nissans....

woj207

How many of the Automatics? I heard there were still quite a few.

Is there any color or package combo that is completely out?

Are those colors or package combos the first ones expected to show up as 2010's?

thecoast

I was just offered the following lease deal in AZ for a g37 sedan with premium and nav

10K mi, 36 mo
1400 down including 1st mo
441 month

Good deal???

jpfive

Current best offer on the table is a 39-month lease on Journey w/ Premium package. I'm not sure if 15k/yr converts into 48,750 miles.

MSRP: 37,065
Invoice: 34,172
Sales Price: 32,900 (~1,250 under invoice)
Residual: 54%
MF: .00113

1st month: 825 (fees+taxes+1st mo pmt)
monthly: 420+tax

How does this deal look? Possible to get the sales price much lower on lease? My understanding is leases cannot take advantage of the 2500 dealer rebate.

amb94301

That's a great deal. I am also shopping in the Bay Area for a 2009 journey + premium 2009 sedan. Hope to get around $3K under invoice using my own financing?

1) How much under invoice did you get yours for?
2) Did you use financing, and if so what kind of financing?

Thanks, happy holidays.

sewellgsm

There are still quite a few if your flexible; however; if you want certain packages with certain color combos it may get tough to find - bottom line is if you want one - start shopping now or just wait for the 2010s. There is no reason to postpone shopping, the "deals" won't get any better tomorrow than they are today, so why wait?

This is what is hard to find right now: Manuals, Auto w/ Sport Pkg, any thing with Tire & Wheel Pkg, vehicles that are Red, Lakeshore Slate, or Sahara Sandstone, vehicles with wood packages, and Tech Pkgs....this is in Texas but I'm sure we are all in the same boat.

We were invoiced on 2010s today - so they should hit our lot tomorrow or Thursday.

Houston _tn,

The figure you provided would fall within my purchase point as well...I am in the Houston area too so perhaps we can provide an incentive to a dealer who would be motivated to close 2 G37 sales by year's end. If you would like to consider, e-mail me at shoe10@gmail.com.

sewellgsm

Little bird told me that Infiniti is giving $1250 Holiday Cash on the G convertible - this can be used on a purchase or a lease!

rusdude

Don't have to tell me twice about Tire & Wheel package I'm pretty surprised this isn't a dealer option or something that can be arranged by a dealer (i.e. can't "trade-in" stock 17" for 18" wheels). :surprise:

It looks like I'll have to visit Discount Tire to sell my stock wheels & tires for upgraded 18" wheels with UHP all-seasons unless folks here have a better solution.

jpfive

Is that assuming purchase...so lease prices would be about 1,500 higher?

highl

There is total of $3500 ( $2500 + $1000) worth of cash incentives available. In my dealing with all the dealership in the region, i was easily able to get the car at invoice price before any cash incentives. So to answer your question, you should be able to get $3500 below invoice. It is tough to get beyond that. But you can try and you need to patient for that. I didn't use special financing from IFS( note: if you use special financing, you can still get $1000 cash incentive. The best rate that i got through was Capital One Auto loan. Hope it helps!

ffxjack

Are all these prices (3500 below invoice!) available to people who lease?

(Most people suggest negotiating the sales price first when leasing then working towards a monthly payment instead of the other way around.)

rcantelon

Any news on whether Infiniti will be adding any extra incentives on the purchase of an '09 G37 during the last week of 2009? I have a very good offer on Dec. 24, but would hate to close on 26th and be sorry on Monday the 28th of December! I thank all for sharing thoughts as you have saved me hundreds (or thousands)!

gatorlexus7

Look folks, if you are buying a 2009, you are buying a year old car essentially, 2010 here soon and more expensive. I negotiated $7k off the MSRP. Negotiate the price first, then find out the lease deal on the vehicle. If you only knew how rich the dealership owner is, trust me, they will rape you either way! Don't be too ready to buy, start to walk out and watch how they want your business!

Merry Christmas.

ffxjack

Did you negotiate 7k off MSRP for a lease or purchase? I was under the impression some incentives to the dealer were only available on purchases.

kingpcgeek

Consult you local psychic. You will never hear pre-announcements of incentives on this board.

millwood0

"if you are buying a 2009, you are buying a year old car essentially, "

that's true. and for that, you need to negotiate a lower purchase price.

"2010 here soon and more expensive. "

that should help you when it is time to sell the car in the future.

rusdude

If you already got a good price (about $3.5K off with low dealer fees), I say go for it. Infiniti already bumped incentives by $1K mid-December, so my highly uneducated guess is January would be when they raise incentives.

However, for me, the benefit of having car with specs I want + federal sales tax deduction for this year outweighs any potential price reductions.

Hello everyone I am needing help as to what would be a good price on a 2009 G37 coupe AWD with Navigation, Premium, and Automatic. I am looking for the best possible price. MSRP per dealer is 45,285.00. I would greatly appreciate hearing what others have paid for this particular car. Thank you again for helping.

members78

Hey ptgreg,

in october I purchased an 09 G37x Coupe with Navigation (7 sp Auto is standard on all X coupes) and I paid $4,500 below invoice, and MSRP at that time was $44,825. hope this helps!

ptgreg

Thank you for the response members78, so in other words about 40000 ? Correct?

members78

invoice was 41,100 so i paid 36600. i mentioned the MSRP b/c it differed from yours.

peterclaver

sewellgsm, when are the 2010's expected in Houston ?

amb94301

members - when you state invoice price, are you including the $865 destination charge that shows up on Edmunds when you run invoice pricing with options? Just wanted to confirm that is a legitimate/non-negotiable charge that goes on top of the bare 'invoice' price.

Also, I'm considering shooting for the 0% 36 months and $2K under invoice on a 2009 journey RWD plus premium. If anyone has any thoughts will be glad to hear them.

ptgreg

Hey Members78 thanks much, was that price with the finance or did you pay cash? :confuse:

members78

36,600 includes destination and everything, but does not include sales tax. if you look up the True Market Value, they include the destination as part of the price.

i paid cash for the vehicle, so i qualified for $4500 in incentives. so i basically got invoice pricing.

pengwin

29.1k for a base G37 a good price? i feel like its a bit high, only a few thousand under msrp..

ptgreg

Hi there Pengwin, were you in the northwest to get that price?

millwood0

"$486.97 39 months. Did I make a good deal? "

I had a similar car priced - it is identical to yours except the wood trim. 39 months lease, zero down, 10k miles / yr, etc. at 440/month (tax included), and $1.1k drive-off.

wood trip is about $500, at 56% residual, that translates into about 8 dollar more expensive. so had I had it, my lease payment would have been 448/month.

My $1.1k translates into about $30 more per month, so I would have ended up with $478/month. In the same ball park.
