need some advice and help. how much should i be paying for the demo car described above..
also at this point is better to get a 2003 just below invoice or should i go for 2004
thanks !!
Kind of defeats the purpose of buying a new car.
Just get a great deal on a 2003 or wait for a 2004.
Thanks.
Thanks for your input!
BTW. the Edmunds TMV pricing report gave a TMV = MSRP
chigirl - ready to pull the trigger eh I would offer 1k back of invoice. Even though the tech cars have been hot sellers the 03's must go. Shoot an e-mail to the local dealers with your price and got to the first one who takes it. You can make sure they have the color combo you want by checking infiniti.com and looking at their inventory. good luck
One other question to all of you FXers out there--what is the most popular color? I favor the black, despite the hot Dallas summers, but the notes you black, FX owners gave encouraged me to stay with it. My hubby prefers the Diamond Graphite, and my teenaged daughter likes the (?!) red. What resells the best?
Thanks to everyone on this board for info and assistance. What a great source this is!

Cubs---wait til next year (as always)
Thanks! Can't wait till they finally arrive here in ATL!
Was it a Tech one or Premium? What price did you pay for it? Anyone else been able to get '03 FX35 w/ Tech under invoice?
http://www.quirkcars.com/infiniti/ They are selling brand new 2003 FX45's for $37,170! That's 10K off...the have the premium package but will sell only the liquid copper at that price! I'm looking into that.
<<think diligent buyers can find good deals by doing extensive homework . . . here in AZ the dealers have many on their lots - 03's and 04's - and I'm told there is manufacturer money being thrown at the deals. As I attempt to sell / trade in my FX45 premium package (graphite/willow) with 6000 miles I'm given trade numbers as low as $29,200. I thought, and still think, that was a mistake, but they were insistent. I have had numbers more reasonably in the $36 - 38K range which still hurts but, again, I think substantiates the weakness of the market for this car. With a desire to go back to an SC430, which I gave up for this, I have been looking to get back at least a reasonable part of my investment. If the trade in / resale market is any indication of the number for which you can acquire an FX45 then I think AZ might be a market to try for good new AND resale prices - IMHO. Good luck! >>
I was offered $600 per month with 15K pa and 39 months $1600 for inception and first payment.
How does that sound - I'm asking for the actual numbers later today.
Let's NOT! You may post the name of a dealership or company but posting contact information, such as names of salespeople, is regarded as solicitation and not permitted on the Town Hall boards. See the header at the top of this page.
Thanks for understanding.
tidester, host
Do NOT buy from Crest. My experience there has been nothing short of terrible (and I too live close to them). As for a recommendation then between Grubbs and Sewell, I am far more satisfied with my experiences at Sewell, both with Infiniti and Lexus (between the two I have purchased 8 cars over the last 10 years), and I highly recommend them.
Any comments welcome!
I ended up testing and buying a 2003 with sport package as I liked the sport handling better in black/graphite.
As long as the dealer delivers the car directly to the Matson pier on dealer plates, you are not required to pay CA sales tax and they should not bill you for the HI use tax either--you pay that directly to the state after the car arrives. You also shouldn't pay any CA doc fees, tire disposal fees or any of the other fees that apply to residents.
Contact the State of Hawaii tax collector to get a "use tax" form and be sure to call Matson to pay for the shipping and get the booking number that you will give to the dealer.
IMPORTANT: THE DEALER MUST PROVIDE YOU WITH THE MSO (manufacturer's statement of origin) OR YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER THE CAR! Dealers don't normally provide this form, so you will have to ask them to send it to you as part of the deal. There's no reason they shouldn't, but you have to specifically ask for it.
If you need more details, post your questions and e-mail address here.
BTW: the guys at Infiniti of Hawaii are a really good bunch. While they can't help too much on price, they should be good to deal with for service. (Although I wouldn't advertise the fact that you bought your car on the mainland).
Good luck!
Can I do any better?
Take it or walk?
PS I live in a one Infinity only town (Kansas City)
so does anyone have any experience with quirk infiniti!
Thanx
The local guys hemmed and hawed and then called Infinitiusa directly to find out how the Quirk is doing it. I was not around for that call so I have no clue if the story I was fed was bull or not. They said that because Quirk is a new Infiniti dealer they were allowed to buy some "03 ground" cars that remained unallocated. Because of that, they got them discounted from Infiniti.
My local dealer said if I wanted the $10k off deal I would have to go to Quirk. I said OK and started to leave. They then came running after me and said they could get real close and that they wanted me to just see the numbers. They worked some numbers up that gave me 8K off sticker and about 800 more for my trade than it was worth. I took the deal since they had to go into hold back money to make it. I could of been a hard [non-permissible content removed] and walked, but I live in a one Infiniti town and I will need them for service.
Just to make myself feel better I gave a copy of the ad to another customer who looking for an FX too. I bet the Infiniti GM had a bad day. I feel for him...not.
I will ask my local dealer if they can give me a better deal.
Thx
