MSRP was approx $55,340 and I got it for $50,534 ($200 less than I posted above.) Also, I got them to throw in a third wireless headphone free. They told me they were aggressively trying to make an October quota and I believe them. They were so anxious to have me pick up the car Monday November 1 (which would count as October because in this county all stores are closed Sunday), that they let me pay with a personal check because it was going to take too long to move money for a cerified check. Also, note that it is a 2004 car, probably one of the last ones to be made so it will lose a lot of book value in a few weeks when the 2005's come out even though they will essentially be the same car.
Good luck.
That's just the truck. Do not know how fees will be, but I guess around $200.00. The salesman has told me there are at least 5 at this discount. Does this sound to good to be true? If not,why are the other prices on the board so high. I'm in the Boston, Massachusetts market.
Just came back from the auto show, and nothing compares to QX56.
I was just wondering if you have driven many miles yet? Are there any things you think are great. How about things you hate? Just trying to make decision easier. Thanks
Congratulations. Enjoy the car. It sounds like we got similar deals. I got around 4900 off MSRP two weeks ago. Now is a great time to buy, the 05's which are essentially unchanged are coming out soon, gas prices are high, etc. We wanted the bench seat in the second row, so the stock was considerably smaller since I think only 20% of vehicles are made that way. I believe there were only 6 vehicles out of 100 in the NY metro area that met our criteria.
I still don't understand how the factory changes from 04 to 05. My vehicles was made in 9/04. Obviously the 05's if they are arriving in a few eeks are being made now. Does the factory just switch one day? "OK Monday we're finishing the 04's. On Tuesday's we're modifying the line and on Wednesday we'll be making 05's!"
Anyway...I really appreciate all the input I have read. These forums are such a great way to share info and I bet the manufacturers keep an eye on them, too, to see what the general buzz about their products are. (Hoping Infiniti paid attention and improved the '05's...heheheh) What a great way to research when buying a new car. I was not such a computerhead in '97 when I ordered the Navigator. Damn...I Love Technology!
I have not ruled out any of the Luxury SUV's but I REALLY want to love and trust this vehicle.
Wish me luck!
thank you charlie
The truck does not have a DVD or sun roof.
I also read in the paper 8,000.00 off a 2004.
Hope this helps
No dout it had just the basics, but that's alot for a QX.
www.quirkcars.com
We now have had our QX for 1000 miles. My wife is the primary driver and I asked her about it and she simply said, "I love it." We would definitely purchase again. No problems to date.
Also, if you own a small business, you can still right off 100% due to that SUV tax break up to $25,000. But you better hurry, because it will be gone after Dec. 31rst. I was able to get the 100% writeoff of the full value of the vehicle, because I purchased it before Oct. 22nd (before Bush signed into law to close that loophole).
P.S. Make sure the build date is from August, because the percentages are higher that there will be less problems, but no guarantee.
How many QX 56 have you seen on the road? Not many.
On a side note, I'm actually going to lease because I firmly believe that the hybrid technology will continue to improve to a point where use in full size SUV's will become more common. I saw an article in one of the auto mags recently talking about future cars being released with hybrid and I believe that in '06 the Yukon (not XL) will be released with hybrid. I have a 10 year old son that I have thought about holding on to a car for long enough to give him when he starts driving, I want alot of metal around him, but gas in 6-7 years will probably be several $$ a gallon, just like it currently is in Europe.
Thanks for any thoughts
have loved my '05 qx56 thus far as I love the fact that it's so different...everyone drives the same suv..this really stands out.
btw, the denali is not 10k less than the qx..but i bought my qx loaded with sunroof for 49k. do you like buy a new car every year? hmmm, maybe trying for that tax deduction on a yearly basis?
lates.
The QX is the best foul weather truck I've ever driven. In two weeks I've tracked 1,500 miles in torrential rain storms and similar blizzard conditions. The truck is more sure footed than any Audi Quattro sedan. Switch to 2wd on dry roads and kick the tail around in a turn; fun stuff.
The second row bench design is brilliant; the nav/radio/climate control design is the worst I've encountered in any vehicle. The truck has assembly issues which by this time in production I'm surprised still exist. I'm receiving no benefit from having a second year run vehicle.
Infinity is not Lexus and with three visits and four days in the shop already for tsb's my experience suggests Infinity is not Dodge, Chevy or Ford either. The local dealer (San Diego), not the selling dealer, is very defensive about their expectations of customer dissatification Re: the truck. The real problem is not the truck because the tsb's are accurate and in my case severe window clatter and DVD bracket rattles; TSB #052, fixed the problem. It took them three visits to complete the repairs. The truck was returned with a dirty headliner and grease on the second row seat. I asked the service manager a rhetorical question of; "...at what point do you people start to get embarrassed". I just got it back yesterday and today I've discovered the rear AV and climate controls don't work.Infinity customer service is non existant. Nothing more than an apoligy service directing you back to the incompetant dealer. Not fun stuff.
Great truck but beware you have no advocates to represent you if your local dealer is subpar.
Which San Diego dealer are you working with? I am just a few months away from getting our new SUV and live in SD, so service down here is an issue. I would most likely use the Discover dealership in Carlsbad. By the way, I have a friend that just bought his Q from the Dealer in Marin and was very happy with price he paid. Do I have to go up there to buy my truck?
Thanks
The Marin dealer moved a unit for their year end tally; that's all they got out of this transaction. They were very aggressive on their advertised specials; but at that they were only equal to Serramonte; (Colma, South San Francisco). By the time I made up my mind the advertised specials (04's) were history. It was at that point the Marin sales manager called and offered me the 05. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that dealership. I cut the deal on the phone on Wednesday from SD. On Thursday morning I walked in the dealership and picked up the car. I was out of there within the hour & that included obtaining financing and insurance. The deal was honored to the penny; there were no surprises or attempts at ancillary sales.
My local dealership is Discovery in Kearny Mesa area of town.
By the way the truck is great. My wife loves it. She's 5' 1" & it's her daily driver. The truck has the best seat, mirror & pedal adjustments we found. That coupled with the accuracy of the rear vision screen allows "Hippo" to defy's it's size in daily driving. There are alot of posts, including mine, that seem to highlight the low points of the QX. Don't let it concern you; I think it's frustration that Infinity did such a good job with so many of the things that matter that it would be nice if they took a closer look at things that are real easy to fix.
Good luck on your decision
Lates!

Congratulations on your new QX56. I am in the market for one, can you publish the dealer and state where you bought your QX56?
Thanks, we purchased our QX from Troncalli Infiniti in Decatur, Georgia. There are about four dealers in the metro Atlanta area. Good luck.

39 month/39K mile lease worked out to $673 including 5% MA sales tax (paid first month, acq fee ($550), plates ($83), and doc fee ($149).
Will check back to give an update on the truck after the wife puts some miles on it.
Momoftwins here and I cannot believe that you got your '05 QX for 49K (alebit in Dec '04 vs Mar '05)! Where do you live so I can go to your dealer and how were you able to get it for $49K when invoice for a fully loaded QX (minus ICC) is $50,171?
Please let me know ASAP as I have been quoted $53K for a fresh off the truck '05 QX ($3,100) over invoice. Thanks.
I love this truck eventhough the brakes are no good. I took it in for service and the service is amazing. I got an FX45 (loved it) to hold me over and they fixed all the little things and the breaks within 1 day.
I am purchasing a Silver Indulgence QX56. I saw your post about tinting the front windows. Do you know what "percentage" you used on the front windows? I wanted to match the fronts to the rear sides but they advised it would be VERY dark. Do you have a photo? Let me know... How do you like the truck?
thanks
