05 Sedan 6MT
premium pkg
aero boy kit with spoiler
nav
the pricing is as follows from carsdirect:
Invoice:34,151 Target:34,651 MSRP:37,460
I went through the process to have a dealer contact me, and if they would go for the target price, which if its there I would assume thats the price I should get, does everyone think that 500 over invoice is a super deal? On a new model with all these revisions? Or has anyone had a problem actually using this site and the price is more of a wish list price that never actually happens?
I want to move quick on this since my Max is depreciating faster than I pay it off with the miles I drive...:(
Seems a bit fishy to me but said I would take a 2nd look before I dismissed the car (or the wheels). I commute 30 min a day each way to work on the freeway at highway speeds (turnpike), so having a reasonably comfortable ride in a fun to drive car is what I'm looking for.
Anyone have any comments / experience with road noise and the Infiniti 18" wheels? I'd just settle for the standard 17" wheels but don't like their appearance as much.
Will let you know. I dont mind paying $500 orver or $300 over, but got a feeling that I will have to order the car I want withthe options I want rather than locate it, as they seem in short supply everywhere.
Premium Package
Sports suspension
MSRP $34,345
Invoice $31450
I got it for
Invoice - $2000 - $1000 + tax + tags + title.
31450 - 2000 - 1000 = 28,450.
I took 2.9% APR for 60 months financing.
Is this a good deal?
BTW - the Edmunds online article:
http://www.edmunds.com/finance/leasing/articles/48365/article.htm- l
is an excellent source for those like me that need a refresher on leases and how they work and are calculated. It had been a few years since I've done a lease and within 15-minutes, had an Excel spreadsheet developed and I confirmed the lease from Infinity came up within $0.01 when compared to the spreadsheet derivation.
Thanks Edmunds for this excellent refresher article!
39 month
15k miles per year
$1200 total due
$431 per month [including NJ tax]
I think this is a decent deal. Are there any better deals our there?
I am still looking at getting one but just can't find a deal I want.
From previous posts it sounds like I should offer and they could be willing to take invoice - 2,000 = abt $32,300. Could that be right!?!? I may even be able to subtract holdback (abt $900 more) bringing price down to $31,300.
Alternative is waiting a few mths and getting an 05 minus the nav package in a color I really want.
Appreciate your feedback.
Edmunds did not have 2004 model pricing.
Of course, a few days later carsdirect price dropped by $1000.
Where did you learn about the other incentives?
That is incredible! Congratulations!
Learned about infiniti holdback formula using google search.
Interestingly, I also bought my car on January 31. The factory to dealer incentive actually went up on February 1, from $1000 to $2000. So my car potentially could be bought now for $23,996. That combined with 1.9% / 2.9% financing is an excellent opportunity !
I personally would call first if there is a specific model you are interested in to make sure it's available. Most of these dealerships strike me as slow to update their website info.
$31,210 MSRP
$28,987 cap cost(purchase price)
+$909 fees
=$29,958 Net Cap Cost
$401/month - 15k year lease for 39 months
$401 dollars down.
What do you think about this deal?
Also, has anybody seen the Lakeshore Slate and Stone interior? If so, what do you think?
Has anyone else ever seen this and is it hogwash or worth it?
Paid .5% over invoice which is like $145 dollars over. Waived the security deposit and any disposition fees. Only money down is $393. That is the payment for 42 months at 15k miles a year.
Pretty pleased with this after my 4 month research effort. I was really close to getting the TL but after all the vibration issues, transmission issues I just decided on the G. I loved the G from the beginning but it gave up more headroom. My solution was to get rid of the sunroof and that adds 1.5 inches, per the spec sheet. I have not sat in the car yet or seen it in person. I have seen pictures of interior and exterior.
Any thoughts on this? colors? price, etc.?
I've seen several people referring to the VPP prices. Can you tel how do you participate in the program, it it available to general public or a limited group of the lucky ones
My father works for a big company and that company is on the list of VPP customers. Maybe Nissan is a supplier to this company. I don't know. I do know that it is a big company and there are pages and pages of other companies that qualify for this as well. It is not just his company.
I know that it isn't available to the general public, because I have tried to use VPP in other states where his company is not located and they wouldn't do it.
The VPP is pretty good. It also waives the Security Deposit and disposition fee as well on the lease. That is why I am putting down so little.
I would check with whatever company you work for and see if they are on the list. If it is a big company it is probably a good chance from the companies that I saw on the list.
Stay tuned...
Just put a deposit to hold:
05 G35 Sedan 6MT
Silver with graphite interior
Premium Package
Aero Package
Splash guards
Trunk Mat
MSRP 35090
My price 32995 which is 800 over invoice.
This is the first 6MT sedan this dealer has received! I tried another dealer that had a loaded 6MT sedan, with NAv that started at sticker and said since it was the only one around in NE, that sticker is the price.
This dealer shocked me with the price.
DO you think it is a good price? Was told that only 1200 6MT sedans were coming to US this year by the first dealer. Anyone else heard that story?
We havent talked trade yet but I dont think I'll get too beat up over my 02 Max I'm trading.
Might have dealer install XM and a clear 3M bra on it before I pick it up though.
I am looking to buy a G35 sedan RWD with a Premium package in the Illinois area and am in talks with dealers. The best quote I have at the moment is 32,290. Is this even near a good deal? By reading the mails here, I thought I could get one as low as 29,500. Please let me know if you have recently got a deal on G35.
Thanks,
Andy
I just purchased a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe (Black with Graphite interior) for roughly $1450 below invoice cost... In NJ, that was very difficult to come by. No one in the neighborhood was willing to negotiate. After visiting 5 dealerships in about 3 weeks, I finally managed to get a heck of a deal at the 6th during this President's Day weekend.
The car was 36K+ and invoiced at 32.4K. The dealer, who was extremely friendly and helpful, worked to get me the car for 31K. Bottom line, taxes, doc fee, etc included came out to 33.2K with 1.9% financing for 36 months. (Over 3 years, if I put 0 down, assume that I would normally get 3.5% at the bank in CD's, I am saving nearly 900 dollars by financing). Therefore, for me, the car is costing 32.3K for everything...
I'm extremely happy and looking forward to learning some more on these forums.
How did you get 1.9% financing? I just bought a G35 coupe fully loaded without nav just last week.
My story and figures are just like yours and I am paying 6.75%. I have excellent credit. Did I get ripped off?
Hopefully my trade talks go as well as the price talks.
I'll know the last few details in a day or so I hope and will post them.
All dealers should have this and requires roughly a 700+ credit score...
As far as the coupe is concerned, I don't believe they are offering this. On a good note, I believe most of the dealers probably have a deadline to get rid of the 2004 models. Here are the dealers in NJ that refused any types of deals (however I went to most of these dealers prior to President's day):
Ray Catena
Lynnes (nice folks)
Ramsey
Salerno Duane (nice folks)
Dealer where I was able to negotiate:
Douglas Infiniti in Summit, NJ.
Please bear in mind that the type of price that I received on a 04 with Premium package is being offered on an 05 with just sunroof at Ramsey Infiniti.
Good luck negotiating...
However, to pay over 6% for a car loan is a little too much, IMO, if you have an excellence credit score. I have like 15 credit cards and I got their balance transfer offer every week which are a lot lower than that: 0.9%, 1.9% OR 2.9% for life. Currently, I owe around 23k with citicard at 0.9% rate till paid off.
If you don't have that many credit cards like me, you might try to shop for a new rate with your bank...
Salerno Duane and Ramsey were very flexible
(So was the on in Englwood) while Douglass was very ridgid and the best they offered was a few hundreds more than my deal at either Salerno or Ramsey. I guess it depends on individual dealership targets, manager's mood, and perhaps the phase of the moon
Bottom line: shop around!
1) are these for the '04 or '05 models?
2) mileage on the lease term?
So far I'm leaning towards the RWD sedan because I heard the AWD have poor gas mileage and I want a 6MT (AWD only comes in AT), plus the 6MT is up to ~300hp this year. Not too keen on the RWD though, as I have driven 4x4 and AWD vehicles for the last 8 years now.
Let me know if you find any good deals out there, maybe we can leverage 2 deals to negotiate better terms?
Steve
Thank you.

Leased a 2005 G35 Coupe [no Nav] AT, Premium Package, Splash Guards and Trunk Mat.
39 Month Lease
15k Miles Per Year
MSRP = $35,710
Final Cap Cost = $33,877
Residual $21,538
Money Factor = Not Listed
Total Due @ Signing = $1,200 [MV Fees, Doc Fees, Anti-Theft Etching, 1st Mo Payment]
Monthly Payment = $430 [including NJ tax]
Edmunds says the invoice price with these options should be $32,869, so based upon my final cap cost I paid about $1,000 over invoice. The Edmonds TMV price for my area was $35,078.
I picked up the car just as it started snowing hard here in Jersey, so I only drove it straight home. But that was a great 18 minute drive!! Kept the stereo off and just listened to the engine purr.
