I wanted the same car you did, the Scarlet Silver/Wheat w/ Nav, Prem, & Tech. I know where that car is, too. It is at Glendale Infiniti, but . . .the guy I was dealing with consistently wanted more cash, and when I emailed him the flier from Metro, he balked, saying it was $1,100 over price. I tried to get that car, but honestly, I love the Liquid Plat/Stone much better!
Go for it! I know you'll get a good price. If you don't want the Tech, it will be easier to get that specific car. I just shredded all my notes, but a few are out there. They have one like that at Van Nuys, with a good price, so check there, too. I didn't want the luxe pkg. as I don't like the feel of those larger tires, I find they make the ride a bit stiff.
Keep me posted!

No, I am not in the state. Shipping on the car will be an added expense. I am only getting around 1500 under invoice in Florida. I am partial to the light leather in the scarlet silver and am leaning toward trying to find the exact car a bit closer to home.
Orchidgal, I agree about the ride feel in the 17's vs 18's and don't want the Lux package either.A bit too stiff for me. I was originally looking at the exact car you bought but find I like the regular back up camera compared to the duel image in the Tech package. Thanks for all the info.

Thanks!
Yes this would be a purchase. As far as I see, this is the ONLY dealer who is offering anything like this as far as a discount. There is a manufacturer to dealer offer good until 6/30/08 for the 2K. As you said, it is only good toward a purchase. From what I understand this California dealer is offering an additional amount off due to the holdback expiring. I did not think holdbacks had an expiration date. I learned something.
In my local area, the best quote I have gotten from other dealers is 1500 under invoice. Most of the dealers in my area are quoting between 1000 and 1500 off invoice. Some want way more.
If you can work it out to buy, it seems like a great deal in your area.

Maybe it's not a big deal to some people. But to me, driving a nice car like this one with halogen headlights is unacceptable.

out the door price $422**.00 (dont want to identify myself) invoice is 42486. My price includes about $900 in shipping to bring it to me. Had the car been local I probably could have got closer to $41, however a car with these options doesn't lend itself to much flexibility.
If anyone wants one with these options with White on wheat leather let me know, I have a lead on on in Washington as well.
just a few notes. Base price has increased $600 on recently delivered vehicles, Edmunds prices are old. Old inventory sitting on lots will still hve the old base. Fuel prices are killing everyone.
No not every1 life is going on every1 is still purchasing new cars.
BTW how does the EX compare to FX.
$500 dealer cash back.
$1000 with Nav package dealer cash back
$2000 with financing dealer cash back
Total = $3500
There is nothing saying that these cannot be combined. My dealer says no to the $500+$1000. It's one or the other, not both. Infiniti USA says the incentives do no exist.
Anyone have the definitive answer?
They are finding sales slow, so must move the cars that have been on the lot longest to avoid having to pay. The manufacturer pay dealers a hold back for the first 90 days, after that the dealer must pay, so they want to get rid of these cars. That's how I got my car.
Infiniti of Monrovia, in California offered a deal for the month of May of $7,685 off sticker. I had emailed all the dealers in So Cal and heard back different offers and took the best one and worked a deal from there with my knowledge of the 2k kickback and the hold back. I paid cash, too, so the loan part wasn't involved.
I'm a "girl" and have never bought a used car. It was hard being in there with these salespeople by myself, but my research held up for me to make a great deal for myself. Other dealers refused the terms I asked for, but I went to the one ready to play. You've got to be ready to decline offers you don't like and be patient and negotiate for the deal you do want.
Good luck!
A dealer in California offered 3500 under invoice in May when I first stared to look at them & was only getting 1500 off MSRP in Florida. The freight was too high for me. I was told by a dealer in Orlando Fl. that the 3500.00 was the total incentives they had to play with on purchased EX (not a lease) and was available until June 30, 2008 on any in stock EX they had on the lot. He also stated back in May that an additional 500.00 is available as well if the dealer makes his numbers.The Orlando dealer offered me 3300 off invoice on any EX he had. Said the price was good until 6/30/08
I was able to get 3380.00 off invoice for an EX last month from a local dealer.I know the incentives exist, but some dealers don't want to give up all that $$/
I live in FL - I am curious, what dealer gave you this price in Orlando? Can you breakdown the deal for me and give me the sales person's name for a reference?
Thanks!
It has a MSRP of $40,825.
You mentioned in your inquiry that you were seeking our best price and I am fully prepared to give it to you. We offer special pricing to our Internet Guests in an attempt to make your decision a very simple and easy one should you elect to move forward with this EX35.
Your special Internet price (Retail Only) is $33,992 + Tax, Tag ($124 to Transfer, $224 for a New Tag, $6.50 Florida Fees and our $499 Dealer Administration Fee.
A savings of $6,833 off the MSRP just for contacting the Orlando Infiniti
I can't give you the salesmans name because of Edmunds policy but it is Orlando Infiniti. HTH Tango
Down in Florida, they will not budge. Orlando's fee is less than most as the fees I ran into are 599, 699 & 799. I was able to get a bit over 7,000 off MSRP locally but I did have to pay a dealer fee.
You have gotten the best price I have seen on the EX.

What do you think?
But I'm confused on the prices. Retail should be $35,450, according to Edmunds, BEFORE destination. Total sticker is $36,315. Invoice is $33,462.
There is a whopping $4k dealer cash on the vehicle. Do you currently own an Infiniti? If so, that's another $1k. Do you lease an infiniti? That's another $500.
Even if we assume no to the above questions, the dealer cash should bring you down to a $29,500 selling price. I have NO idea what taxes and fees are in Cali, so you'll have to help me out here. In NJ, I'd be looking at ~$2600 in taxes and fees, which would bring me right to that OTD price you were quoted. But, I do own an Infiniti, so I'd be looking to get another $1k off.

Offering to who?
Like I said, if you are eligible for the loyalty rebate, this is possible. Otherwise, I'm not so sure. How much holdback are in these? I'm not sure they have $1k holdback to play with. In which case, $7k off without the loyalty rebate would be a loss to the dealer.

It's between the Journey EX or the Lincoln MKZ, which I can obviously get for a lot cheaper...
I too was able to get a bit over 7,000 off MSRP in Florida and my sticker price was 42,075.00. I did not own an Infiniti prior to purchasing. I had gotten a quote from Metro in California on any EX they had on their lot for 7,000 off. No dealer fee. The freight to ship was 900.00 so I bought locally & paid a dealer fee. Got basically the same offer from Orlando Florida on any EX on the lot. From what I understand the difference between invoice & MSRP is about 3K.
If you take invoice minus $3K, that is just over $7K off of MSRP and not bad. Looks like they are keeping $1K plus holdback for profit. Of course, the car must be available.
Any idea when the 09's come out?
thank you all !!!

When do the 09's come out? It should be within 2 mos.
I haven't signed the papers yet. But I think I'm gonna stick with the EX
How do you like your new EX?
I LOVE my EX unabashedly! It's the best car I've ever owned. Have not had any of the problems that other drivers have had and mentioned on this forum. No leaking sunroof - yea. Everything about it is great and every time I drive it my heart sings with happiness! How's that??
I am hearing that 4000 under invoice is able to happen if you buy before 9.2.08. I would try for 4,000 under invoice & see what happens. It may make sense if you buy it & ship it to you in Ct. Good luck. It's a great car!!
I spoke to a salesman from Fields Infiniti in the Chicago area and he said he can take $8,000 off the sticker on any EX35 with Navigation and Premium Package. The vehicle I was looking at had a sticker(MSRP) of $42,225 it had the premium package, navigation, cargo organizer and cargo protector. The invoice on this vehicle is $38,621 so the price would be about $4,400 off invoice. The only problem I had was you have to take a vehicle in stock, they don't want to trade with another dealer. They don't have the Black on Wheat and that is what I was looking for so I'm still thinking about it.
Thanks for all your replies
