I'm beginning to think the region/state is going to effect my purchase quite a bit. As I wrote in another post there are quite a number of G37's around my area. With such huge inventory there are bound to be leftovers I can take advantage of. I'm driving a 2003 4cyl Mazda6 right now. It handles nicely but it just lacks torque and passing power and some other things. I remember on the way back from Vegas my car was shaking quite a bit from all the wind. I hope whatever my next car is won't have such problem.
You will get a good discount on the 2009 for sure- they need to clear those models out or else the 2010's won't sell (there is no real difference in the 2010 G37). Hope this helps.

At the very least, you can print out that web page and show it to your dealer and see what they say.
Still, if your local dealers are offering $4,700 off MSRP, that means they're giving you all of the $3,500 in dealer cash, in addition to another $1,200 discount. But, if you're willing to travel more, I'm certain you can find better deals. Also, have them quote what their doc fees are. Seems as if there's some very high doc fees being quoted by some dealers. They make a lot of money on those, and should be considered part of the total deal. Also make sure whatever dealer you work with isn't charging a delivery fee twice. That's listed on the MSRP. And, it seems some dealerships are quoting it twice as part of the deals I've seen in here.
I know the '09s are becoming pretty scarce around me (SW OH). But, I only have one Infiniti dealer within 100 miles from me. He essentially has no competition. Even he's offering substantial discounts on leftover '09s, though.
Good luck!
Is that a straight buy price, ie. no high finance chgs, low ball trade-in offer, etc other than the rather high dealer fee? Actually, the dealer fee isn't bad considering the overall reduction from MSRP.
Thanks for the link graphicguy. That is some great prices. I search within 250 miles radius and got 3 dealers. I have no success with any of the 3 dealers. The two distance dealers are through email communications. The closest dealer is through the onsite visit. The onsite visit, I got the worse offer. 2009 G37x MSRP $39100. Dealer added LoJack to make it $40,000. I got quoted for $37500. I've read here that some are getting better prices than that for an 2010 model.
On a side note. The local dealer put LoJack in every vehicle and want about $900 for it. Can I refuse to buy the LoJack?
Anyway we are down to this on 2009:
G37 sedan: 11
G37 coupe: 3
G37 convertibles: 3
Half of these are demos. So, if you want to save on a 2009 - better go get one.
Now all C & D plans are upgraded - C & D are employees of companies that have ties with Nissan/Infiniti such as American Airlines & ATT, etc.
If you wonder if your company has ties - check with your HR department.
I work at Infiniti of Tampa, I'm in the internet department there... not sure where you got a price of $32,100 on a Premium Package G37 Coupe, but if you have that I would take it. We are advertising on our web page that all remaining in stock 2009 G Coupes w/ Premium Package for $32,775 +ttl. For you to get a better price than $32,100 would be crazy for any dealer to do. Invoice is $37,494, minus the $4500 incentive your at $32,994... holdback for Infiniti is 1.5% so that's about $600 on this car. So at $32,100 that's about a $300 loss with holdback... for a dealer to take another $1000-$1500 off they would have to be really desperate to take that kind of loss. Not saying we've never done it, but if we do it, as sewellgsm has said before if they're financing we'll try to make it up in finance or by holding on the trade. If the deal is straight up with none of that involved I can't see the dealer doing much better than $32,100. Were down to about a total of 13 G Coupes, and we sold the most G Coupes in the country last month
Congratulations on clinching the #1 title of Infiniti sales in the U.S.! You guys must have fair price and treat customers right.
Thanks for the heads up on VPP Special. I read that on other forum, but I think it said this lasts till end of March. Please confirm whether February or March.
As to other promotion, I know nobody has crystal ball (except those people in IFS), but what is your opinion on March marketing support program, especially in light of the VPP special? Do you think it will at least stays the same and hopefully sweeten a little bit than February's?
As always, I appreciate your participation on this forum and all the useful information.
Your post says $4500 incentive? I thought it was $3500. Did they increase it or was that a typo? I know in Florida they like to charge a dealer fee, do you guys do that?
Has Infiniti given you any idea/hints when detailed information will be available for the 2011 G25. I love the G Sedan and I am deciding between pulling the trigger on an 09 G37 or waiting to get more info on the G25.
Incase you are wondering, the only thing keeping me from getting a G37 is the mpg... I don't drive fast so 300+ horsepower isnt for me, its nice, but I would be happy with 200 horses and better mpg (especially if they keep the g25 styling and options similar to the g37)
If you're of the mind, I think a road trip would be in order once you decide to buy. We're not talking about a small amount of money here compared to the quotes you're getting from your local dealers. We're talking about $3,500+ you can save. That will pay for a flight to another dealership in another city. It will pay for shipping the car home (if you decide to do that), and still have a substantial amount of money you'd be saving.
Heck, I'd call that Tyson's Corner Infiniti dealership and inquire about having the car shipped to you. Even with shipping one across country, you'd still save thousands over what your local dealership is telling you. Flat bedding a new car across country would cost, what?.....about $1,000, maybe a little more, maybe a little less.
Matter of fact, I'd call your local dealer's bluff and show them the TMV (which is high to begin with) for Gs the next state or two over from you. Personally, I wouldn't want to do business with a dealership who is flat out lying to you about the incentives.
Oh, yeah. They were so tight-lipped on the refreshed 2010 G37 that there was virtually no info whatsoever until the official release at an autoshow early December in 2009.
I think the G25 is a very smart move on Infinitis part. It gives them something to compete against the TSX and IS250s of the world without creating a whole new model.
Definitely, but the G25 can also take away sales from its big brother G37, as in djneph's case. However, I believe it will be a net sales gain for the G-family overall.
I have a friend who works for Nissan that might be willing to sign me up with the VPP.
Im assuming the incentives dont apply to VPP discounts? is it one or the other? I have a dealer offering $6,000 off MSRP. Would i come out better using the VPP or the $6k off?
IIRC, Infiniti's lineup used to be along these lines....
G
I
M
J
Q
SUVs
The G20 was small and had a 4 cyl motor. While the rest were bigger and had either 6 or 8 cyl engines.
If they revive the G 20 as a G25, and as has been reported, it will have a 2.5L 6 cyl, will it be the naturally aspirated one? Or, will it be the turbo model (which would come mighty close to the power of the 3.7 V6 in the G37)? How much will they decontent the G25 to hit a price point? And, if it's close in price to a Maxima, why not just buy the Maxima with the bigger V6?
Be interesting to see what they do.
GG, I'm surprised.
The answer is simple ... RWD. The Maxima is FWD.
Seems that the G25 is meant to go against the IS250 from Lexus.
Speaking of Maximas, I don't see many on the road. I think I've actually seen 2 of them since they were announced. I wonder how sales of those cars are doing?
BTW, I can see where the G25 would compete with the BMW 328, or the Lexus IS 250 or the Acura TSX....probably even the Audi A4.
Unless of course ANOTHER vehicles comes to light they reported sold that never did.
All dealers can charge for doc fees - Florida has no limit.
Not sure what a "dealer fee" is.
So, if you were only looking at price - you will end up with more than $6000 off. (Assuming you are looking at 09 sedan).
BTW....I do have a VPP certificate. I'm assuming they're good for 2010 models too, right? A plan is good through the end of March?
Is that too good to be true?
Just curious, is the Nav update from MY '09 to MY '10 really significant? Notice that the headlights changed from '09 to '10 looking at pics. ANything significant there?
Appreciate the info.
You can email me if you can post it here. g2369 @ aol com
under $30K for a 09 G Sedan or 09 G Coupe? If it's a G Coupe it's way to good to be true... no way possible for that deal to happen. I work for Infiniti of Tampa and I can assure you that deal is impossible. Now if it's a 09 G Sedan I wouldn't say it's impossible... it's a big stretch but not impossible. It can be done.
Id be afraid to make the 3+ hour drive only to be baited and switched.
I've been dealing with another nearby dealer (100miles away) and the best I can do is $34.5k for a MSRP $39,300. I've looked in another state and the best I can do from CA for a G37x is $33000. The problem is most dealers in CA don't carry a lot of the AWD version. I figure with shipping cost it will come close to $34k + TTL. I would of been happy if I could get it down to slightly under $33k. Anyway, I kind of got frustrated with the Infiniti dealers so I've switch gear and started looking at BMW 328ix. I found a 09 328ix that priced very competitively at $33995. I think I can get it to around $33500. I like the BMW ride but I really like the G37x power. The biggest thing for me against the BMW is the interior dash design looks like a cheap car (Bimmer fans will disagree). I love the looks of the G37x dash. So beautiful and high tech. Oh, the exterior of the G37 also looks better than the 328 IMO.
1. It doesn't sound right...10K off if it's a sedan or 13K if it's a coupe?
2. First post w/ a salesman name and email?
Feel free to write the salesman if you like. It's totally legit. I'm sure Jason will confirm for you that it is legit. I have no affiliation with Infiniti or the dealership or car sales at all. I negotiated that price, and I'm now telling you about it. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because I think Jason is a good guy, and I like to see people get a good deal on a new car. Take it or leave it, it really makes no difference to me.
There's no wrong choice with what you're looking at. I had a 330i a few years ago. BMW makes fine cars. Pricey for what you get (as you found out). But nice cars, nonetheless.
I agree with you. The interiors of the 3 series leave a lot to be desired. I know even the current ones haven't changed hardly at all over my former '06 330i.
The G and the BMW are really close as far as handling dynamics. But, as you noted, the G is substantially faster than the 328i. To get the same type of performance from the 3 Series, you have to step up to the 335i. But, you're also going to spend about $8K-$10K more for it over the G.
You might also want to take a look at the Audi A4. Nice car that is similar in performance to the 328, but a few thousand less (with the turbo 4 cyl and Quattro).
From a value perspective, it's very hard to beat the G, however....especially given its equipment level, build, and performance.
Test drove all 3 using the same road to get a fair comparison. The G37X was by far the best in terms of handling, interior comfort, upscale feeling of the interior and acceleration. The Mercedes was OK but had weak acceleration compared to the other cars. The Audi A4's engine sounded weak but the performance was OK. The A4s interior did not give off an upscale feeling. As background we have had A6s and A4s before, an Infinit M35X, a few BMW 325XI-328XIs and an E Class Mercedes so we were open to any of the cars we tested. We did not test the new BMW 3 series because the interior feels small and is way overpriced.
