Out the door today $31,995 with $199 doc fee.
Everybody's posts helped me negociate the price so I'm posting hoping to help someone else out. Also remember that the sales tax is a deduction until the end of the year.
Thanks to everyone.
that is an incredible price. Mine, like yours but with navigation, came out to be over $36K (with 6% tax).
so you got a bargain of the century.
Looks like an incredible price. Would you mind sharing the location where you purchased? If so, you can e-mail me at schoe10@gmail.com
Don't know how much we can post here about our experiences with dealers, but if you're in Houston, feel free to email me. I dealt with 3 of the 4 (Clear Lake one never responded to my inquiries) and the sales person at the one I went with was refreshingly nice and helpful.
The price I paid for a 2009 G37X with premium, splash guards, trunk mat, and cargo net with a MSRP of $39,230 was $31,995 with a $199 doc fee. This of course was before TTL, but the above was the total paid to the dealer and I was on my way. This came out to about $4,200 UNDER invoice, which was similar to a couple other people's prices for the last week of the year. I just told them I saw some other people getting this amount under invoice and I wanted the same. It probably didn't help that the two St. Louis dealers have 30 of these cars each on the lot. You probably can look at your dealership's web page and see if they have 2 or 50 of these cars. If they have a bunch I would shoot them a low price and hang tough, dealer admitted he prefers to have these cars gone before Jan 1.
Also this was a cash deal with no dealer financing. You couldn't get this deal using their financing. I bought it from Plaza Infiniti in St. Louis.
So, does anyone who has a Sport 7AT like the paddle shifters? They seem to shift about 1 second or more after I click them. This could be because they are new cars and the computer has not self-adjusted. It is very annoying when the shift takes another second to change the gears. Also, it down shifts for you as you slow which started making me not use the manual controls. So if someone who owns one of these could comment on it I would very much appreciate it.
I guess, at this point it's also about which dealership has a car you like, but I can refer you to my sales person and if you drop my name/deal details, you should be able to skip past all the haggling, start off at my price (see my post earlier today), and try to improve on it
I'm really grateful to all the people who have posted here, so I want to do my part to make sure people score a good deal!
I started this process the only way I knew, visiting the dealership! A co-worker helped me move into the new age and suggested getting offers via the internet. As a result, I started last week. Here are the offers I've received so far in the ATL metro area through yesterday:
Dealer 1
G37 prem/nav
32,463
G37 premium
31,288
if credit score above 700, dealer financing of 4.45% on above prices
Dealer 2
G37 prem/nav
32,446
G37 premium
30,584
Dealer 3
G37 prem/nav
31,888
G37 prem
TBD
Dealer 4
TBD
These prices are before Tax, Tag, & Title (is this "TTL"-?)
Based on what I've seen so far, these are pretty darn good! :shades:
I highly advise you to ask for driveout (aka OTD or out-the-door) prices. Different dealers have different fees they will charge you on top of the car price & sales tax. Because we - customers - got so smart and know the invoice & incentives, charges like "document fee" are ways for dealers to make money off us. My dealer charged me about $144, but others charge $500.
Also, 4.45% sounds a little high for the highest tier. Call Bank of America - I believe, a few weeks ago their rate was 3.79%. A local credit union is also a good place to look for a loan.
Finally, if you have a trade-in, remember to be careful and get a fair value for it
Good luck!
Can you elaborate on what OTD includes? I have in my notes that one dealer included a $499 documentation fee in their price. That was Dealer 1.
So as I get the internet quotes, I want them to give me an OTD quote that should include EVERYTHING but TTL?
What really matters is the prices you paid before TTL. (P+TTL). When I shop for cars, I always ask dealers to quote me prices before TTL. How much they make doesn't matter to me as long as I get to the lowest price (before TTL).
How much lower do you think I can get them? All advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I've already had an ATL dealer respond to my request for an OTD quote (yes, on a Sunday night!)
The OTD price for a 2009 g37 premium is $30, 543. The price for premium with NAV is $32,430. Of course I will then have to add TTL.
Anyone on here purchased in the Atlanta market? Doesn't seem too bad but I am going to check with the 5 other dealers tomorrow. Ready to wrap this process up!!!
let me know if this is good.
thanks
Anyone know why this is? I called more then one and they all say the same thing.
- $1,000 loyalty
- $2,500 marketing support (purchase w/ non subsidized financing)
Dealer told me everyone was eligible for $1,000 cash back, but lease could not get the $2,500 additional incentive. But appears lease isn't even eligible for $1,000 if not current Infiniti owner (I'm not). For what incentives are leases actually eligible?
My current best offer for a Journey w/ premium is $1,250 under invoice, which may be a better deal than I thought if I can't actually get these incentives on a lease.
So, if they are offering you $1250 below invoice - they are using the $1000 Holiday Cash and losing $250 - it is a good cap cost.
PS There is a forum for G leases that has much more info on it.
Not sure how low I can get selling price before incentives. On this board, I've seen $500 and $700 below invoice in the past couple days. Though not clear if those are "true" invoice or some inflated invoice with dealer add-ons, etc.
Got an offer on a 2009 xS Premium and Nav for a little over 38k No money down first month payment 523 39month 15k miles. Should I wait for the 10s or pull the trigger?
If you focus only on the price, you may get a vehicle from the dealer with the best "price" but pay more per month on your lease because of the other factors.
So, do this - ask the dealers you are working with to run you a lease with $1000 due at signing (covers your first payment and title/license fees) for xxx amount of miles per year (15k is normal). And ask what the monthly payment will be on a 39 month lease. This is the number you should be shopping, not the sale price.
Think of it like renting an apartment, one has crown molding the other doesn't, the one with crown molding was just finished out while the other one was finished out 2 weeks ago but no one has rented it yet. The rent difference is $100 per month...how bad do you want that crown molding???
I was happy with the deal and love the car. I was also impressed that when I asked what their invoice price was they printed off the invoice and it matched what I had from this site (right around $38,000). So, 35,900 with nitro, wheel locks, 3m door guard, and tinting was pretty good in my opinion. Dealer was in Denver and had about 45 g37xs in stock (including 6 in blue slate)
Any thoughts on the value of the add-ons offered by dealership - paint/chip protection? extended warranty? seat protection?
Many thanks to all who posted - you helped me save many $$$$.
This site was a tremendous help in my preparation and negotiations. Hopefully this post will help someone else out that is still looking.
OTD including TTL = $32,450
Previous offer from a different dealer was $32,560
Both offers include TTL.
The dealer with the CURRENT lowest offer contacted me today and I told him they were almost $1K above my lowest offer and no longer in the running. I also indicated the other dealer had a larger and more varied inventory and was offering several accessories. (All true!) I then received the 32,450
At this point, we have not discussed trade. I will discuss that when I get to the dealership.
Anything else I should be prepared for in the way of upsells, etc? I am going to communicate throughout the evening to see if I get any other offers. Thinking I will not "shut-off" any others at this point in case things dont work out with the lowest offer. Fortunately in this market, I have several options.
Going to plan to visit the dealership with the lowest offer tomorrow to allow myself a couple of days to get to another location if things dont work out here.
I am looking for a 2009 G37x AWD Sedan w/Premium - quote was $33,300 on a $39,230MSRP, $36,127 invoice vehicle. Obviously, $33,800 +TTL for the same car with NAV is awesome. Thanks in advance!
I live in Atlanta and I am looking at the G37. Visited Roswell dealer today and liked what I saw. Comparing to the 2010 TL. Can you e-mail me who you are dealing with? jts1910msncom?
Thanks
Thanks
but to get all the bells & whistles, you'd have to pony up about $10k more than a comparable G. even with the top level, the A4 engine is still weaker than the G, although it is more fuel efficient. and the G is more athletic and handles better than the A4. maybe with the audi dynamic mode, the handling is comparable.
so while the audi is flashier, it's more expensive. scratch beneath the surface, and the G proves to be more fun at a more affordable price point. i think theyre both pretty reliable, so that makes your decision difficult. let us know what you choose.
that is an incredible price. that means that you are really getting the car for 29-30k before TTL.
I would say that you should grab it before the dealer changes his mind.
They had a fully loaded g37x sport in blue slate, stone, but the seats were uncomfortable and I didn't really like the paddle shifters. Also, the stone makes the dash two-tone so it looked a lot smaller inside. I didn't really want a dark interior car, but the sales person convinced me to sit in one because the way a single color works on the eyes it makes the interior seem bigger. She was right! I test drove the fully loaded non-sport and really liked it. Plus, I have my first child on the way so darker seats (spills) and the tinted window they threw in suddenly seemed appealing to me.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2010 G37x Rosewood, Premium, Navigation, Illum Kick Plates, Impact Sensor, First Aid kit, Trunk Mat
List is 42,231
Anyone think I'll be able to get the dealer down anything more than $500?
I've got great credit, and they don't know I'm am going to pay cash, I will be using a credit card to charge some of it ($2-5k) to get miles, but it will be paid off the next day.
Any tips? Suggestions? Well wishings?
it depends on your preference. in our shopping, we ruled out the A5 because of its flashy exterior. We ruled out the A6 because it is a little bit too big for us. the G to us is just right.
However, we do have a preference for smaller cars, everything else being equal.
Also, I do see a lot more A4s on the road and very few G37s (some G35s) so I liked that exclusive factor as well.
I am in Houston and looking for a G37 premium as well. Would you kindly share the dealer info with me? you may email me at "jxia2004 at gmail dot com".
thanks in advance.
