    First, you should start negotiation at the vehicle's invoice price ( configure the car w/ options @ edmunds.com and get the invoice price).
    Second, you should easily get $3500 of cash incentive at this price if you are not opting for special financing.
    If you read this thread, folks have done better than this. On average you can take the price further down by $1000-$1500. For OTD cost, one thing i have noticed that doc fees can vary greatly depending on state where you live. I paid $55 as doc fees (Bay are, CA).
    As far as the finance cost is concerned, i think dealers are required to disclose finance cost upfront as part of total cost to the customer in sales doc ( but i find it weird that they have included this cost in their quote) They may have given you general APR (w/o running your credit check) . I won't worry about it too much. Just shop around for financing and take your best APR to the dealer!

    In mid-October, I bought a 2009 G37x coupe with the premium package and cargo net for invoice - $4500 (incentives) + TTL. Search for my earlier post with the $ details.

    Just purchased a 2009G37X sedan with Premium, Splash Guards and Cargo Net for $32,250 which seems in line with others. I have used Premium unbranded gas in my last car with no apparent ill effects. I was wondering what gas other drivers are buying, brand preferences and experiences.. Thanks.

    Again, "doc fees" aren't a state-by-state thing, they vary by dealer and are just another way of packing profit into the deal. My dealer tried to convince me that my OTD offer on a convertible was unreasonable because the resulting price was lower than invoice. I pointed out that his profit was in the $499 "doc fee". He gave me the look of "ok, you got me" and negotiations went on from there. He *never* tried to justify the doc fee as a legitimate expense.

    You should check out the gasoline brands that have met the standards set by BMW, Audi, GM, Honda on their Top Tier Gas website. Look for link titled "Retailers."

    For example, Chevron/Texaco, Shell, QuickTrip and Phillips 66/Conoco make the list but Exxon and Mobil do not. Others are listed. I use Chevron mostly.

    Hello: Today in Palm Beach County Florida, I made a $37,000 out the door offer for a 2009 Infiniti G-37 Coupe with the premium and navigation package. It was rejected. They actually wanted another $2000 to close the deal, so we walked. You have a lower tax rate there in Northern Virginia than we do, and your tag fee is much lower than ours too. Was this car a brand new vehicle or was it used and new to you? Maybe I should fly up there to your dealer, and buy the car and drive it back to Florida! Anyway thanks for the info. What a co-incidence that we both made the exact same $37,000 offer the same day. Walter

    wow that is hella cheap. i paid 36.6k for my x coupe w/NAV and *i* thought i'd gotten a great deal.
  • carnivalcarnival Member Posts: 5
    Hi Walter,

    It is a brand new car. My dealer seems to have about 15 coupes left --most with AWD.
  • cl568cl568 Member Posts: 5
    I am in a very similar situation. Please share your progress with us. Thanks.

    Initial application sent in mid Oct., confirmed with Infiniti early Dec. that the request had been sent to AmEx on Nov. 30th. So far, still trying to figure out what went wrong. Will call Infiniti today.

    You won't get 3500 off Invoice cost at a dealership.... That includes $1000 holiday cash that is not available after the 4th of january. If you're going to make generalizations make sure your facts are correct...
  • highlhighl Member Posts: 32
    Hi tuxinfiniti,
    Couple of things here:
    1. I had posted the information before 4ht Jan, so obviously was talking about available dealers' incentive at that time for 09 models.
    2. If you care to read some of the postings in this thread, there are many who have got better deal than just $3500 off the invoice prices on the 09 G37 sedan ( coupes had better incentives)

    I absolutely stand by my facts.
  • tuxinfinitituxinfiniti Member Posts: 4
    I can tell you I paid 5k under invoice.... in fact, I can tell you any number I want.... It doesn't necessarily make it true. The absence of fact leaves pricing discussions at the mercy of perception.
  • tuxinfinitituxinfiniti Member Posts: 4
    To put the pricing on Edmunds in perspective.......

    2009 G37 Sedan PRM/NAV packages with SEN, and CGO (glass break sensor, cargo net, premium and navigation)

    Edmunds MSRP- 41,255
    Actual MSRP- 39,675

    Edmunds Invoice 38353--- so yeah, if you go with Edmunds, pricing discounts above 3500 are available. If you go with what the numbers actually are..... not so much! Hope that enlightens you
  • highlhighl Member Posts: 32
    Good that you got my point! As far as actual cost of vehicle to a dealer is concerned, it is difficult ( may i suggest next to impossible) for an outsider to find ( truecar.com attempts to do that). The invoice price that you get from edmunds.com is reliable and even they say there are other incentives that dealers get which can not quantified reliably. So, we all know this fact about invoice price. I believe people are not just quoting any numbers here as you have implied. They represent actual deal and helps other people. So, please don't try to obfuscate people and if you have some facts/numbers please let everyone know.

    Edmunds MSRP- 41,255

    And just where did you get the "actual" MSRP number from and why should anyone here believe you anymore than other reported deals? It's easy to just say everyone is reporting phony numbers by why would they go through the trouble of doing it. Hey, if you got only $5000 under MSRP that's you're fault. Suck it up.

    Just purchased a 2009 G37x sedan in New York with premium and NAV, MSRP 41,230. Prior to reading this discussion thread, I was offered a lease rice of $499 per month (includes NY state tax). After I read this thread, I visited another dealer and negotiated a cash price of $34,300. Thanks for posting all of this useful information. It saved me lots of money!!
  • domain311domain311 Member Posts: 26
    Looks like the 09 incentives were extended because of all the stock left...my local dealership still has over 90 2009 G37's. I don't see anything on the 2010 yet....anyone hear anything?
  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    Swellg-
    What incentive for Jan10. I tried looking up but couldnt find it (not APR....I'm asking cashback/rebate)
  • eyedogtoreyedogtor Member Posts: 14
    Hello,

    Just to let everyone know whats out there, just got a G37x with Prem/Nav/Splash/Cargo/Mats - MSRP was $41,230.

    Negotiated price was $33,800 + TTL. In addition, they were very generous on my trade - offering $1500 more then KBB excellent condition rating.

    I can't say enough about the dealership experience - I have never had a better interaction and I hope that this is a sign of things to come.

    The car is fantastic by the way - to those considering the purchase - just do it!

    Thanks,
  • rxkerxke Member Posts: 168
    Hi
    What is your opinion of the G37X? What other cars did you consider/price? What dealer did you finally go to in NY? I live in Westchester county. What kind of gas mileage do you get on the highway?

    I am looking at the G37X, the A4, the Mercedes C300 all wheel drive, and possibly the bmw 328XI. Your insights would be appreciated.

    Thanks
  • kevinc5kevinc5 Member Posts: 204
    Glad you had a great dealership experience. How about mentioning the name of the dealer. I'm sure he'd appreciate a plug. Good luck with your G37x.
  • jamesmngjamesmng Member Posts: 2
    I too looked at the Audi A4, BMW 328. I didn't look at the Mercedes.

    I don't see how those cars even compare to the G37. They don't drive like the G37. The Audi and the BMW only have a little more than 200 HP. The G37 has 330 HP. Once you drive them all I don't see how anybody can go to anything but the G37. Also the G37 has a much more usable backseat.

    Look online, they rarely compare the G37 to the BMW 328 as it blows it away. They usually compare it to a 335 which is more than $10,000 more and sometimes it still comes out ahead.

    I say if you are older maybe look at the Mercedes as the average owners age is about 65. However if you really want a sports sedan for a younger person the G37 is where it is at. I get about 22 MPG. Also there are some super deals on the remaining 2009's.
  • eyedogtoreyedogtor Member Posts: 14
    I agree - for the current price it is crazy. I drove the A4, Acura TSX, Acura TL, etc. and none of them could compare to the power, steering feel and response, etc. for the price.

    The TL SH-AWD, 3.2 A4 or 335 compete - but for 10-15,000$ more....really a great deal right now on a C&D 10 Best model.....
  • sewellgsmsewellgsm Member Posts: 775
    First I want to say thanks to all the posters, especially the ones who purchased from Sewell in Dallas like Ray who got one yesterday. We finished #1 in Nation for Decemeber with 166 new cars (2nd place was 42 cars behind :) ). For the year, we ended up second with 1198 (4 vehicles behind Competition Infiniti - guess I should have taken some of those $4500 back of invoice deals you guys talk about). Our Houston store finished #5 for the month and #25 for the year (keep in mind we just bought that store, so we will need a little time to get it going). So, thanks to all! Now for the incentives.

    2009 Sedan (same): $3500 or $1000 + special rates
    2009 Coupe (same): $4500 or $1500 + special rates
    2009 Convertible: $2000 (this is huge :D ) - sales tax credits on lease in Texas

    2010 Sedan (same): $1500 or special rates - sales tax credits on lease in Texas
    2010 Coupe (same): $1500 or special rates - sales tax credits on lease in Texas
    2010 Convertible: nothing - vehicle not out yet

    There you go - no big changes - initial end date is 3/31/10 (fiscal year end for Infiniti). Hope this helps. :D

    You offering some 4500 off invoice deals now on 09's (sedans)? :)
    I wish my lease was up already... 3 more months, and was told its only worth ~10k trade as opposed to the ~14k payoff. (07 jetta w/ 37k miles, package 2).
  • sewellgsmsewellgsm Member Posts: 775
    $4500 is on the coupe - $3500 is on the sedan....now I did not say that we are offering that much off invoice....I'm not allowed to offer deals on this forum - I am just stating what the dealer cash incentives are. Just arming you guys with information.

    My opinion is a dealer is "not smart" to give you all of their dealer cash & sell the vehicle at invoice - hard to cover the overhead that way and therefore make a profit. Now some dealers do offer that - to me those are the dealers you need to have your guard up because those guys get you in on the "low" price and then try to make it up on the trade-in, interest rate, doc fees, etc. Always remember the price is one part of a deal. :)

    Thanks for posting this SewellGSM.

    Did the incentives change for the G37 today? In other words, was the sedan $3500 off last week as well?
  • sewellgsmsewellgsm Member Posts: 775
    Yes, the sedan has benn $3500 off for about a month now...
  • corkyboy1corkyboy1 Member Posts: 10
    Hi: What dealership location? Thanks, Walter
  • ffxjackffxjack Member Posts: 47
    Just wanted to thank SewellGSM for his contributions to this forum. I was very close to pulling the trigger on the G37x but in the end, the extremely negative experience at the local dealer (2 visits and way too much time waiting for nothing) finally made me think enough is enough.

    Thanks for your prompt responses to my questions over email as well. If you were in my area, I likely would have been in a G37x.
  • civilbencivilben Member Posts: 2
    Thanks sewellgsm for all the great info and congrats on your sales achievements. As for the incentives in your post do the current incentives apply to leases and purchases?

    Thanks

    Was the bad experience in the Portland area?
  • ptgregptgreg Member Posts: 15
    Where are you from if I may ask? Was this coupe ? I cannot see it from here....... :blush:
  • eyedogtoreyedogtor Member Posts: 14
    Hello,

    Sorry - this was a sedan. The Dealer was Herb Chambers in Boston.

    carnival-
    YOUR PRICE IS FOR G37X coupe "FWD"...not awd...right???????? I know you write X but for somereason i couldnt find price near to what you got in my area (close to VA).
    can you send me your email or contact info? I couldnt email you thru here...I wanted to get your salesperson info so that I can travel to tyson, infi & replicate your deal.

    THkxs
  • sewellgsmsewellgsm Member Posts: 775
    Those apply to purchases.

    The money that is available with the special financing is available with the lease (but not the big amounts). :)
  • infiniti001infiniti001 Member Posts: 4
    Are edmunds invoice prices completely accurate? For example, is the real invoice of a 2009 g37 Journey with premium and navigation really $36,034?
  • ffxjackffxjack Member Posts: 47
    "Was the bad experience in the Portland area?"

    No, northern VA. It was the typical experience if you walk into a showroom which is what I did. First and last time that I will deal with anyone other than over the internet. I've bought 3 cars very successfully with good experiences by going via internet.

    I do feel kind of bad for the salesman who is going to end up on the test drives but not get credit for the purchase in the end.
  • socalgirl1socalgirl1 Member Posts: 23
    I am in CA. I am looking at a M35 tech pack for 1000-1500 drive off and 12k a yr. What is the best deal you think I can work on for a monthly payment with tax included?
  • carnivalcarnival Member Posts: 5
    Hi,

    My car is AWD. I am quite happy with the deal and the dealership (Tysons Infiniti).
    I worked through internet sales department.

    Best of luck.
  • rxkerxke Member Posts: 168
    Hi

    Congrats on the new car. I am in the market and would appreciate knowing your dealer experiences and which dealer you wound up using in NY to lease your G37X? I live in Westchester county (45 minutes from Manhattan).

    Thanks
  • sewellgsmsewellgsm Member Posts: 775
    $36,034 is correct.

    However, Infiniti also adds to the invoice a Warranty Supplement Recovery Cost depending on which state the vehicle is delivered to - in Texas it is $150 right now (it changes quarterly depending on warranty claims). Some states are less or none at all and some are more.

    The other BS thing - is Infiniti throws on items like trunk mats, cargo nets, etc - trust me when I say we don't order most of these items. About half the vehicles we (the dealers) get to order from scratch - the other half Infiniti builds how they want (ususally using up on the parts and accessories that are left) and send them over to the US - then we can buy them or not - if we don't buy them we have nothing to sell.

    Lastly, dealers have many items they too can add to the car (pinstripes, chrome wheels, tint, nitro, etc) - they charge these items to the vehicle and therefore to their internal invoice. For instance, we charge every vehicle $50 to help cover the expense of filling it up with gas and detailing it a 2nd time when the customer actually buys it (we do it once when it comes off the truck). Other dealers may not have this or they may charge more or add different items.

    So, the best way to price items is "out the door" - after TTL. If you compare discount - you may pay more if the invoice was more or if a dealer has high doc fees which are added on after the price. You get the idea. :)
  • infiniti001infiniti001 Member Posts: 4
    Thanks sewellgsm. It sounds like there is probably about $500 added in total to the edmunds invoice in Texas.

    Furthermore, it sounds like a fair price for the dealer to make money and the customer to not overpay is $6000 to $6200 off MSRP which is about $3100 below invoice. Clearly some may argue and get $6500 off and there may be some car sitting on the lot too long for $7500 off.

    Thanks for your help.

    Called many Nissan dealers on a new 2009 370 z. Was told nissan does not discount z cars. I called a few infinity dealers. On a 2009 lux g37s coupe , auto with nav , i was quoted $32100 ---for a $42000 car --color gray with gray leather. Which is about $6000 better than the z car with the same equipment. Really strange. Im in Florida internet says about 70 2009 g37 cars left in my area , also about 45 2009 z cars. The value of the Infinity in 3-4 years is more than the z car.For those who know-know ! Do it.All these cars are really outstanding. Do your homework. Oldvet

    On a 2009 lux g37s coupe , auto with nav , i was quoted $32100 ---for a $42000 car --color gray with gray leather.

    I will be surprise if you can get that car for 32100. Also, I don't know where the dealer got that number...for a '09 G37S + Nav must also add Premium = 43,265 MSRP + a couple minor options will bring this car to 44K...so, it's a steal for 32K.

    Actually, I don't think you can get Auto w/ the S, it must be a journey + S + premium + Nav = ~45K MSRP.
  • dkvilledkville Member Posts: 9
    Quoted 36,150 for a 09 G37x Sedan AWD 4dr with nav and prm, trunk mat. MSRP 41,230.

    Good Deal?

    I received a call from AmEx Incentive Services today. My gift card was supposedly shipped yesterday. We shall see. Submitted on 19-Oct, "mailed" on 06-Jan. I guess AmEx really needed the float.
  • goshawkgoshawk Member Posts: 4
    36K is a Rip off, keep working. Worked 34.5K for 09 G37X Nav/Prm/Wood/kickplates/mats/cargonet NoVA.
  • eyedogtoreyedogtor Member Posts: 14
    Don't pay more then $33,489 - thats the advertised price for that car up here in New England - and it's not uncommon to get em for $33,000.
