FX35 is a beautiful vehicle, I had hardtime giving up on it but given gas mileage(I drive 2k/month on avg),repair cost, extended warranty cost,brand depriciation & 4.5K reduction in my purchase price made me switch decision last min. I had nissan before (still hold one) and reliablity although good but not as good as Hondas/Toyota (here come flamers to burn me ), Did you drive both mdx & fx? I know their's not good deal goin on MDX rite now, & FX is aggressively priced with incentives, bottom line go with what suits you best & your needs.
Goodluck with your search.
I just signed up this deal in the Boston area for a 2010 FX35 with Navigation, Premium, roof rail crossbars, splash guards, cargo area protector and organizer and first aid kit. Color is Midnight Mocha.
MSRP
$50,240.00
Cap Cost.
$43,472.46 ($42,579.46 + $298 doc fee + $595 acq. fee rolled in)
Residual
$26,124.00 (52%)
Term
39 months
Money Factor
.00138
As many of you know, Infiniti has an awesome program where you put down additional security deposits to pay down your money factor. Each security deposit pays down the money factor by 0.0001 and is entirely refundable at lease end assuming you don't have excess damage to the car. We opted to put down the maximum 9 additional security deposits (actually 10 total, 1 acts a as a "base") to pay down the money factor to 0.00048. Our resulting interest rate was very low at 1.152%. We also opted to put a down payment down to make our monthly payment even lower. But anyway, here is the breakdown of our payment depending upon how you structure it.
Total payment: $540.88 (pre-tax) and $574.68 (including tax).
Total payment with 9 security deposits: $508.13
Total payment with $4,766.03 down and 9 security deposits: $375.85.
Total cash to table:
$4,766.03 down payment
$ 297.88 tax on down payment
$4,500.00 (9) security deposits
$ 100.00 DMV registration fee
$ 375.86 first monthly payment
$10,039.77
Cash to table would be $475.86 with no money down and no security deposits.
Cash to table would be $4,975.86 with no money down, but paying 9 security deposits.
Invoice on this car is $46,056 and we got it for $2,583.54 below invoice. All in all, not a bad deal, I'd say. I'm very happy with the deal and the car!
Please tell me is this is a STEAL, DEAL, or NO DEAL:
MSRP: $49,915
INVOICE: $45,925
CURRENT FACTORY REBATE: $4,000
NEGOTIATED PRICE of CAR: (after rebate and before tax, title, reg, doc fee): $41,625
FINAL PRICE of CAR: (after 7% NJ tax, title, 4-yr reg fee, & $249 doc fee): $45,200.25
INCLUDES THESE OPTIONS:
Premium Package
Navigation Package
Cargo Area Organizer
Splash Guards
First Aid Kit
Did I do ok? Where could I have negotiated better? The doc fee seems to offset the $300 under invoice price I negotiated so I'm not too happy about that.
It is certainly on par with the $40,500 figure I have seen in this thread. Question for junkbond is: was the $39K financed through the dealer, your own sources, or cash?
Dealer is in PA, but we live in NY (not NYC).
Second question is exactly the same as the OP: is $40,940 a good price for an AWD FX35 with the premium package option?
I financed at 4.5% through Bank of America (via dealer). Credit score of 812.
Make sure you ask what the fees will be BEFORE negotiating the price of the car.
BTW - best car ever! Love it!
Good idea on verifying the exact fees.
Thanks for all your information!
Take the price you were quoted and add the invoice: $41,548, which is where I need the price to be. I know I can do better than what I got. Tough to see the dealer walk away over $200. But we'll see next weekend.
Another question, when will the 2011 model come out?
It seems that Fx does not sell well compared to MDX or RX.
So, if you are shopping for an FX - try to find one that is currently in stock - it will be cheaper - a few weeks/months from now the inventory will be mixed and you will have to ask the salespeople to look at the vehicles that have been on the lot longer to save the money. Hope this helps.
Infiniti of Ardmore takes the cake of all the dealers we looked at in the Philly area. Super experience. Awesome staff. We spent more time waiting around for key chains and a hat than we did buying the car.
Look them up if you are in the market for an Infiniti.
Thanks to the posts in this forum, I feel like we got a great deal.
10 FX35: Special Rates OR $4000
10 FX50: Special Rates OR $5000
$2000 Lease Loyalty Rebate for those leasing who own an Infiniti now.
Hope this helps.
Otherwise, I would wait.
1. It does happen that incentives can get worse at the year progresses, but I wouldn't say it is all that common.
2. If you eat the payments now and the incentive goes UP in May, you'd really be kicking yerself.
3. The dealer may go even lower in May if the units continue to sit there.

So, in short, I would ask the dealer if they are interested in doing a deal now by buying the vehicle for more than the residual, thus saving you some money on the remaining payments.
