I've asked for quotes in writing for parts and for labor.
Recently a delear in the nyc/nj/ct area tried to run a game by charging one price which included labor and parts. The part could not be replaced, because they didn't have it in stock. So they fixed the original and put it back where it belonged. Next, they tried to charge the same price. I refused to pay it, given the same quote/price that included the part and labor. After some back and forth, the service was given to me for free.
How do I avoid getting ripped off by the dealers?
has anyone here had better luck with the dealers and better than 1500. looking to buy within the next two weeks.
thanks.
This not only lists your scheduled maintenance, but tells you what you should be paying as well.
I guess they added it on March 1st
Any idea how much under list this should go for? Thanks.
I agree. The first place to always check for scheduled maintenance is in your manual.
Most manuals will post separate schedules for Severe or Normal driving conditions, and most of us do not fall under the Severe section. (Although, this is how the dealer schedules you)
The link and info was posted more for the reason of cost.
The question asked was how much scheduled maintenance visits should cost, and that link shows just that.
And how do you get VPP? And how much of a discount is it?
Thanks!
1. Is it true that I wont be able to ride the G35 coupe in NE year round?
2. If so are there any ways to go around the issue (other then buying the sedan AWD version) such as buying snow tiers?
The G35 Coupe is lousy in the snow, even with snow tires.
Most owners have separate cars and keep these garaged in the winter.
I personally chose the G35x.
I've driven it and there is noticeable difference in power and honestly, I prefer the seats and ride.
I plan on getting the set of wheels/snows for the winter, even with the X model.
Good luck with your decision.

There was no trade involved. There was a vpp discount of $858 included based on my employer, but I don't know how real the vpp discount is. I had the feeling that I would have ended up at the same price with or without the vpp discount. However, they were insistent upon getting a copy of my employee ID.
I love this car! It is beautiful and drives like a dream!
How should I think about this situation? Is this a big issue? If not then what should I do on top of inspecting the car from the outside? Should I ask that the dealer’s service department will inspect the car mechanically and "certify" it? Should I ask for a disclaimer on the lease? Anything else?
Thanks.

Finance manager didnt force any options on me..but offered the following:
I believe they have a maintenace plan now...the top package is around 2373, dont have the paper work with me but basically you get all the premium maintence in the book that the G came with for 60 mo/ 75k. Do you think this is a good deal, havent purchased yet. They said retail is 4500 for having all that work done.
Has anyone got the ResistAll belive it is 1187 but not sure about the length on that. Covers outside sealant from sap, bird dropiing, water stain, etc.. Inside it covers from stains and sratches and rips that are a certain depth.
Clearbra but that was 1085, going to get elsewhere for cheaper i hear its like 600 or so for ventureshield.
Should I get any of these addition. The maintenance plan is tempting, but is it worth it? have you guys heard or been offerred this? how much you pay?
This is a complete scam... please do not fall for this.
It's basically a wax job/Scoth Guard treatment before you take delivery and it protects from nothing!!!
Ping me if you want details on how to clean, seal and maintain, but do not fall for this, it's 100% profit for the dealer!
Buy yourself a complete Zaino kit. You'll get better protection and save $1,000 in the process.
Clearbra but that was 1085, going to get elsewhere for cheaper i hear its like 600 or so for ventureshield.
Be careful what you get, and who you have install it.
I suggest xpel/3m and be sure the installer is 3m certified.
I was quoted by certified shops in my area $700-$900 for a hood, mirror and fender kit.
I talked the dealer into a full front end protection kit, including Hood, Fenders, Mirrors, and Front Bumper... basically the whole front end.
The dealer is 3M certified, uses only XPel laser cut kits and 3M materials.
When you make a decision, ask for references!
Some of the lesser brands yellow over time and the money you save will be spent getting the job done a second time.
A lot of dealers claim to use "3M" products but actually install products from Avery Dennison which yellow.
Ask to see the material. The backing should say 3M all over it.
Dealer is doing my complete install for $695. (talked them down from $799)
The 18" wheels are staggered.
ie: the wheels in the rear differ in size when compared to the front.
Front - 18x7.5 Wheel & 225/50R18 Tire (W rated)
Rear - 18x8.5 Wheel & 245/45R18 Tire (W rated)
The wheels can only be rotated from side to side, and not corner to corner as normally suggested.
Also, if you choose uni-directional tires, you cannot rotate them at all.
i think it was like 1400 over invoice
When picking up the car, what should I check? I know I should check for the dents or scuffs, but what else?
If I find something that I really don't like (like exceessive mileage) do I have an option to change the car?
First time buying a brand new car, so I'm bit worried. :confuse:

I have them adding the 3M kit for $695, and I have to pay Tax, Title and Registration fees.
I am not paying any Prep, Doc, or any other "BS" fee though.
I'm skating right around $40k, OTD.
On my way into work today, I passed 2 different car carriers, both filled with Infiniti's.... I can't wait!
I placed my order with the same dealership in Warwick, with similar config AWD/Nav/Prem/Tech/Wood (lakeshore slate/wheat) back in February. I am told that it would arrive the week of the 27th.
The wait is really killing me.....
Funny how they give dates that land on a Friday :confuse:
Mine was due on March 30 and just arrived yesterday afternoon.
The 3M cannot be installed until Tuesday, so I have to continue my wait until Tuesday or Wednesday.
I may go visit her this weekend though. :P
Platinum Graphite w/ Graphite interior G35 Journey w/ Premium Pkg, Mud Guards and Cargo Net. Had to order because it's impossible right now to find a Journey in my color combo in my area without the Tire & Wheel Pkg (which I didn’t want).
Here's my deal:
$32,214 Invoice of Journey, Prem Pkg, Mud Gds, Cargo Net,
and destination.
$499 Document Fee (aka dealer profit).
$465 Admitted Dealer Profit.
$21 Tag Fee.
$2322 Tax at 7%.

$35,521 Out-the-door cash deal
Seems like a half way decent deal on both sides considering that in order to get a G outfitted to my exact specifications, the dealer had to request the car be redirected. It was originally scheduled to go to a dealership in Florida. Dealer makes about $1285 profit ($499 + $465 + approx $320 Holdback at 1%).
Couldn't be happier with the dealership Nalley Infiniti in Marrieta, GA. Made my deal over the phone with the internet department's John H., then worked with Reggie K. for the test drive, delivery, etc. Best car buying experience I've ever had. No games played, I was very surprised. Even the sales manager was pleasant.
Only issue was when I checked the tire pressure yesterday morning (cold) it was at 44 psi (which is the max) for all tires. I lowered it to 35 psi and called the service manager for an explanation, which he didn't have. He was surprised, but offered no apology for the error. :confuse:
Love the car so far....delivered with 11 miles, I've only logged another 100 so far.
I've heard of this as well.
I have a folder in the car full of paperwork and a punch list of things to check when taking delivery of the car on Tuesday.
The folder also has a tire pressure gauge in it.

I got it for about $2,500 under MSRP (approx. $280 over invoice w/no destination charges.)
The APR I got was 6.24% for 60 months finance.
I Hope this helps you guys on getting your G deals.

License: $ 288

Tire fee:$ 8.75(State requirement)
Total: $37,000 (Out the Door Cash Deal)
Seems like a good deal. Just a little upset that the car that I saw on the lot Friday was Saturday was sold Saturday morning, and the dealer supplying the trade was closed today. The purchasing dealer was nice and seemed to work hard for the deal (granted the close was over the phone, including deposit). I hope the car comes in unblemished. Can't wait till tomorrow night. The estimated miliage is under 100 with the drive out.
Any thoughts?
