Infiniti G37 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

sewellgsm

Thank you.

PS Competition is a huge dealer, always finishing in the Top 5 in the Nation. Sounds like they have great prices along with a great service department - good combination.

SewellGSM,

Always appreciated your contribution to this forum. Glad can return the favor for once.

First off, I think you may get somehow skewed picture by asking at this forum -- this thread particularly. Price can easily be the single most important factor for patrons here. It is to me.

The internet has revolutionized the car shopping. One may not even need to step into a showroom until the deal is done. Plus, you don't necessarily service your car at the dealership where you purchased from. Therefore, some or most of the traditional attributes of a dealer play little role in choosing a dealer.

Aside from price, I would say the most important factor is the salesperson with whom I communicated -- whether by email or in person. Straight forward and no BS, responsive, courtesy, and make you feel they value your business. You asked what is that worth. To me, I would be willing to pay up to $300 extra above my target price.

So train your sales associates well. To most customers, they are the face of the dealership by which their opinion on the dealership is formed.

I am in Miami area. Considering the Infiniti G37 Journey with premium also.

Thanks

Looking for a 09/10 coupe with journey package in the South Florida Region. Anybody have any good experiences they care to share? Thanks in advance.

jerryken

Sounds good to me. I'd take that deal in a second. After extensive negotiations, my dealer said the best he could do was $38,883 for a G37x w/ Premium Package, Trunk Carpet, Cargo Net and Wood trim ( No NAV). I'm ready to walk. Where did you get yours? I'm in North Jersey. Thanks.

jerryken

As I said in the post below, "Where can I get this deal?" I'd take it in a second. After extensive negotiations, my dealer said the best he could do was $38,883 for a G37x w/ Premium Package, Trunk Carpet, Cargo Net and Wood trim ( No NAV). In the end it comes out to $459/mo. I'm ready to walk. Let me know where you got this quote as soon as you can please. My lease is up this Monday I'm in North Jersey. Thanks.

Hi Dolphins 3:

After extensive negotiations, my dealer said the best he could do was $38,883 for a G37x w/ Premium Package, Trunk Carpet, Cargo Net and Wood trim ( No NAV), 15k mi $459/mo. I'm ready to walk. Where did you get yours? I'm in North Jersey and willing to travel a bit. Thanks.

jtla

You got to be kidding. There is $1,000 dealer cash for G37, so the dealer is basically trying to sell you at MSRP, which is insane IMO.

If you don't like negotiation process, try car buying sites/services, such as carsdirect, USAA, or Costco. I believe you can easily get in the $36k range, if not lower. Good luck.

Hi guys:

I am looking to lease a AWD (premium, nav) coupe and am currently living in Michigan. A few questions that I hope you guys can help me with:

1.) Should I make the purchase within Jun/July or hold off till Aug/Sept for potential better deals?
2.) Any recommended dealers around the Michigan/mid-west area? I am willing to travel up to 300-400mi for a gd deal.

Thanks!

I am getting 2010 g37 sedan with navi and premium for $33500.

Good question!

There are a few important things for me, all have to be met. They are price, speed and full disclosure (to a point), and lastly integrity.

Price: I will never pay more all things being equal, and will buy a vehicle solely on price. I'm not one that 'must have' a specific color, options, etc. So I wouldn't pay more for that. Also, dealers swap vehicles all the time and most vehicles in popular configurations are readily available. I live in CT, and here dealer/conveyance fees are $299 and up. I won't pay these and have purchased my last 5 or so vehicles in NY where they are capped at $45. Dealers will ask me if I'm willing to walk out for $299, and I reply are you willing to let me walk out for $299. if you want to charge that reduce your selling price by $299 and if you're total OTD price is lower that's what I look at. I can take my wife and daughter out to a very nice dinner for $299, maybe a few of them, so I value my money even if I can afford to spend it.

Speed and full disclosure: get me the price and details quickly. Salespersons quote vehicles daily be then new or used. They all meet monthly, weekly, daily and have goals. Most sales professionals do. Based on this, and their familiarity with the product and competitors offerings if I contact a dealer, they should have price and availability on what I'm requesting within a day, if not within an hour or two based on their schedules (delivering a car, following up on other clients before my inquiry, etc). Also, give me everything I ask for. if I'm a detail person and ask for money factor, dealer fees, etc., provide what is being asked. There are no smoke and mirrors.

Integrity: Many complain about car dealerships, however many sales professionals in various industries are losing this over time. Have morals and ethical principals when conducting business. be honest, do what you say, when you say you will do it.

Now with all this said, I'm willing to pay the price quoted but not more, I will always come back to your dealership when I'm looking for a vehicle of the same make, and I will give you last look to match my lowest price in the event someone beats your quote and you want the business.

I am guessing this not the x all wheel drive. Should be saving a little more because that's a $2800 diff off the bat. Esp in fla.

I would like to share a few issues that I have had with my 2010 G7X. I purchased my car at the end of March and have had multiple issues with the vehicle.

As discussed in other threads, the transmission in the car is definitely not as smooth as it was in my 2007 G35X. It seems to me that it lags a bit in the low gears and is a bit sluggish. In addition, when I apply the brakes, especially going down hill, the car seems to rev from 2K to 4K while it is down shifting. My dealer is insisting that there is no transmission problem and the downshifting is normal.

The second issue that I have had is with my GPS. About a month into my purchase, my GPS unit did not seem to work. It was not registering my location. After weeks of calling the dealership to check for the status of the part, it finally arrived on Friday. When they went to install it, they told me that not only does the new GPS not work but the radio is not working as well.

I am so frustrated with a.) the lack of customer support from the dealership and b.) with the quality of the product. I did not expect this from an Infiniti product.

I just wanted to share my thoughts to see if any other owners have had any similar issues.

orlandian

no without AWD. I finally closed the deal today for $33200. The MSRP was $39640. I guess they are trying to get rid of the cars due to the new model year due in few months.

bubbles333

Sorry for late reply - I did not notive your post until now. I too live in North Jersey but took the ride to Circle Infiniti in Long Branch. Best price and no BS. Totally worth the trip. You will find other similar posts on here about that dealership. Good luck!

sewellgsm

Thank you.

hi rrkml,

did you also get 2.9 apr for 60months ?

urmez: I just took possession of a my new 2010 G37X. I too, had an 07 G35X, which much to my consternation and stupid overreactiveness, did NOT buy it at lease end. For a $20,300 - the car had 25k miles on the clock in excellent condition, never abused and fully serviced. That car had the 5 speed AT. The new one has the 7 Speed AT. This new AT in plain English, S U C K S... Infiniti should be ashamed of themselves. They ruined the best car on the market in this Personal Sports Sedan niche. The Tranny is sluggish, and in D Mode, in traffic, 30- 20 Mph, issues Surprising jolts. It seems to gravitate to 2000 to 2100 RPMs at 65 MPH on the highway - like it's engineered to do so. The it "sits" in this untorquey range, and lags when you step on the Throttle.....I'm sooooo disappointed and frustrated. My dealer has mentioned to see what happens after break in (after 1200 miles) and drive it in DS mode. It is better in DS mode, but you tend to pick up too much Rev Matching in local traffic. The Dealer also mentioned that "maybe Infiniti will have a reflash of the ECU to address this concern".... By making that commnet, I wassume that there are a multitude of complaints about this. Check other Forums (MyG37.com) - it's there!!!. Man, am I sorry I let my 07 go !! That wa car was terrific - I loved the instant Throttle repsonse and the driveability & torque was great. Infiniti has produced this 7sp AT to get better mileage - about 1 to 2 MPG, by SACRIFING THE SPORTY RESPONSE AND PLEASURE OF THIS CAR.

jtla

Don't over baby your G37 during break in period, just try not to redline it. Drive the way you would with your 2007. The 7AT will "learn" your driving style and adapts to it.

I was underwhelmed for the first 3 months of ownership during which I babied my 2010 G37S. After the first oil change at 4,000 miles, I drove like I used to with 3-series for a few weeks. Now, at nearly 5,000 miles, the driving dynamic is completely different, almost feels like a different car. The throttle responses better, the gears hang longer (higher RPM shift points), the engine roars sweeter. The car is a whole lot sportier, and always beg to be driven more aggressively. It is is so much fun driving it now.

I never used the DS mode except when using paddle shifters in freeway passing. The MPG did go down by about 0.5 (from 21.1 to 20.6), but it certainly worth it for all the fun I got.

rob85

Any info on dealers in the DC -Baltimore area regarding price -least expensive.
Thanks

The internet has made negotiating easy. You don't need an intermediate site to bargain for you. All they do is take a cut (from the dealers) and forward your email to dealers. Search the Infiniti site for dealers in your area. Decide how far you are willing to go to buy your car. Then send an email to each of those dealers with exactly what you want. Just write the email once and do a copy and paste for all the dealers. Most dealers will respond and you'll be surprised at the range of offers and also by how many times some dealers will follow up to pursue your business.
I did this many times and have had gotten great deals. I purchased a new 2008 Acura MDX in late 2008 and got responses from 8 dealers. I got the car for more than $7K below sticker and below what Edmunds.com said people were paying. I had to travel 80 miles for the car, but I have it serviced locally. A few months ago I bought a 2010 Honda Odyssey for my daughter (having triplets in August). I sent emails to 23 dealers in the Boston Area. I got responses from 17 and six were competitive, well below invoice. A few didn't want to deal over the internet, so I just ignored them. I've been a good car shopper for many years, having owned 36 cars, I don't mind going into showrooms to talk with sales persons, but the internet is the most convenient and painless way to get started. You don't need to drive all over and waste a lot of time.

civic2001

Premium package (P01), Illuminated kick plates (N92), Carpeted trunk mat/net/first aid kit (L92). $33010 before TTL. N92 and L92 came with the car - had no choice.

ukrishnan

g37x sedan with premium and nav package;
MSRP 41800
they are willing to give it for 34900 plus Taxes and tags.
They are giving me 0% APR as well;
Thoughts ?

njjim

ukrishnan,

Your deal is $2735 under invoice with zero percent interest. That's pretty good. I'm looking for a G37X w/o Nav so my numbers are a little diiferent but the best deal I've been offered is approx. $1000 under invoice ($35150) with 2.9% percent.

/JG

ukrishnan

0% APR is offered directly by infinity, so why are they offering you only 2.9% ? The dealer is getting a $1000 bonus from infinity - ask him to share that with you. you can check out what prices are for the car you are looking for on my dealers website- jbainfiniti.com; if you find one you are looking for, i think you will be able to get one for $1000 less than what their quoted internet special price is..

njjim

I fogot to mention the 2.9% was for 66 months. I think the rate for 60 months was1.9%.

kfdmed

Not many people can afford a $1000 a month car payment.

sewellgsm

Half way through the year and Infiniti has not changed their incentives too much. Since this is a buying & leasing experience forum, I thought I'd give you the average deals at our dealership last month (June). Remember, these are averages, some deals were lower, some higher, some added accessories, some had trades, some cars were base and others loaded. We are in Texas.

G sedan - sold 50 - average of $95 below invoice (remember there was $1000 dealer cash, so on average we sold the vehicle at $95 below invoice, keeping the other $905 as our profit - this is about $3000-$3500 off MSRP) - plus customer got special financing

G coupe - sold only 7 - average of $192 above invoice (so our average profit was $1192) plus customer got special financing

G convertible - sold 7 - average of $247 above invoice (so our average profit was $1247)

July Incentives - No change
G sedan: $1000 and special financing (0% for 36, 1.9% for 66, 3.9% for 72)
G coupe: same as sedan
G convertible: $1000 OR special financing (0% for 36, 2.9% for 66, 3.9% for 72)

If leasing a sedan or coupe there is $1000 Loyalty or Conquest Rebate (basically you just have to have a vehicle in your name - if you are a first time buyer you are out of luck). Hope this helps.

alfstinky1

Thank you for your input to the forum. Since I'm interested in the M also, could you please post any incentives that you are aware of for the M on that forum? Thank you again.

ncognito13

Could you tell me what the invoice is on a G37x Coupe with the premium package and accents package only? I am in the market for one and I am curious as to where I should start in my negotiating with the dealer. I currently own a 2006 G35x sedan so I qualify for the loyalty cash.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

thepieguy

Hey folks. I'm looking at a new Fusion Sport or Altima 3.5 but want to weigh my options with a G. Closest dealer still has a new 2009 G37 Journey sedan; no Nav, no AWD, no Sport, just has Premium Pkg. He thinks he can get 30k for it so I didn't even want to make an offer.

What might be more in my price range is a 2007 G35 Journey sedan. I would want miles around 25-30k, very good condition or even CPO, from an Infiniti dealer, Premium Pkg but nothing else. What would you all think a good price on a car like this would be?

sgtj1

Help I am about to come back from deployment and looking into getting a new G37. Don't know if I should lease because I never leased one before. I sent out an email to some dealerships and got an offer w/o no price yet. Here it is:

2010 Infiniti G37X sedan w/black on black with the navigation package, premium package, illuminated kick plates and performance tire and wheels

I got ripped off purchasing a galant back in 2004 and really don't want it to happen again. With this offer what do u think is the best purchasing price so far? Any advice or questions would help

Thanks!

lhn5

Anyone know when the 2011 will come and if there will be any differences?

sewellgsm

Where will you be stationed when you come home?

sewellgsm

Probably October, no significant changes.

lhn5

Any thought plus or minus sport package? I drove one with but not without. Ride was a little noisy but the cornering was amazing.

sewellgsm

It is pretty much what you are thinking....

Sport = better handling, cooler looking
Non-Sport = softer ride, tires last longer

If you really like to drive the car - drive it hard - get the Sport!

lhn5

Cooler looking? does anything else even matter, lol.

sgtj1

I will be stationed at FT. Riley Kansas.

kaliforniak

I'm wondering if Sewell or anybody knows the pricing and equipment information on the upcoming G25. I imagine dealers have already placed orders since it takes a couple of months to get them from Japan. If the car starts at 28K like Edmunds suggested and the package contents stay the same it's going to be a lot easier for me to step into a luxury brand.

m6user

I don't know about the dealers but there seems to be very little info out there. For a car that is supposed to go on sale within 4-5 months there is precious little info on it. All the news was back in Jan time frame and since then have seen very little if any info. Nobody is even talking about it on the forums. I'm starting to wonder if they are actually going to bring it or not. They pretty much sell the thing in China now so you'd think that more would be available. Maybe they will just one day show up at dealerships like a big suprise. Great marketing strategy. :confuse:

mrnik2007

I noticed that there are a lot of Car Salesmen on this forum too.

I got this quote:
2010 Base G37 Sedan / Blue color with tan interior.
All I wanted was automatic, which is standard.

I am looking at a 39 month lease for $289/mo + inception (which is about $2500).
When I totaled it out, it comes out to $375/mo (tax included and $0 sign and drive).

Im looking to get the lowest payment possible.

Is that a good deal? Can anyone beat it? email me at mrnik2007@gmail.com
I want to pick it up ASAP.
Im in Ft Lauderdale and would be willing to go to Tampa/Orlando/Miami/Naples/etc to get it if needed.

djneph

I feel your pain. I am trying to find info on the car too. I want to see how much the fule economy is improved on the g25. I am hoping the g25 is basically the same as the g37 with a smaller engine.

I read on Insideline that Infiniti will be debuting two new vehicles in August. Let's pray the g25 is one of them.

sewellgsm

I am not allowed to advertise on this site, but I think it is okay to say I am in Texas. Not sure what dealers in Kansas will do (only 2 or 3 dealers in the state) but we would price one at $500 over invoice then subtract all incentives at the time of purchase for you.

Look me up on-line and email me direct - I have a Black/Black G37x Prem Pkg, Nav Pkg, and Sport Pkg that arrives at the end of July.

Even if you don't get one here, you should expect to pay around that price. Your payment will depend on how long of a lease, how many miles, and if you put any money down (we recommend you put down only first payment and registration fees).

Happy 4th!

sewellgsm

They have not put out formal pricing yet, many time the dealers order the vehicles blind (meaning we order them without pricing). They will run under $30k - there will be some options not available - like Navigation, Tech pkg, or Spt pkg.

kaliforniak

Ouch, no Nav and no Sport?

I was hoping that a loaded G25 with Nav, Sport and Premium would be a good buy for under 35K since I don't need all that power the G37 offers. Thanks though
