Ok, enough about my concerns
5 security deposits of $700 = $3500 (I get that back at the end).
$ 1009 upfront (don't get that back).
626.42 a month 39 months.
I think this is an awesome deal.. Thoughts?
I'm pushing it to $1200 over invoice, but is it even worth the haggling and the possibility of losing the exact color I want and having to wait a few more weeks for the vehicle? :confuse:
Thanks in advance!!!!
M35
MSRP 43490
cap cost 40936
residual 24789.30
money factor: .00225 (they say I am tier 2 credit)
42 month with 15k per year
588 payment including 7.75 tax
1500 due at lease signing
I'm also upside down 500 bucks on a trade...
thanks!!!
Did that include tax, tag and title? If so unreal. I just paid $55K for the V8, Tech, Nav, Journey loaded + DVD in the back (MES)! Got it at Inf. of Gwinnett in Georgia. I probably could've gotten a better deal if I had bought one on the lot, but they had to ship from Memphis, TN.
Loaded at $49.5 sounds shady. The discount through Sams Club on the car was $3000 off MSRP though the end of the month, then $2500.
Can't figure out why this is so hard to believe. A guy on the QX56 forums just bought one at $42k fully loaded. He also paid cash. I've been buying cars for 40 years and I know how to deal with car people.
BTW, it didn't include TTL, however my tags were transferred to the M, so no money spent there. I paid about $4,600 in taxes out of pocket.
Thanks

Are you an Infiniti salesman?? I don't see any 'Bay Area Infiniti' on their web site, and the many dealers around SF have had VERY little stock for the past 6+weeks. Maybe they're getting stuff in next week but which one has 65 cars now?? With little in stock I havent heard 10% discounts off MSRP...clue us in! Thanks.
You know what's really funny? Unlike Benz and BMW, these cars rarely visit the service department.
There are also some other funny things. The car performs every bit as well as the 5 series at $10,000 to $15,000 off. Even at the lower price they have features you can't get on a Benz or BMW. And, most important to me, they actually like it when you buy their cars. You aren't made to feel as if they are doing you a favor by selling you one.
If you think that they're cheap, get in one of the newer Infiniti's with 50 to 60 thousand miles and notice that the materials are still in good condition, squeaks and rattles are rare, and maintenance costs won't kill you.
This Nissan/Infiniti rap is getting as boring as the Toyota/Lexus rap.
Thanks :confuse:
There are 2 dealer ships but only one ower.
No competition hear.
Looking for a M45 with Teck/Journey Umbria Grey and Bourbon
Were were looking for the same car in Crimson Roulette but the earliest we could get one was in December from Ray Catena Infiniti in NJ for $48154 + $199 processing fee.
We finally bought the blue one from Pearson Infiniti in Richmond VA.
We were pleased with both dealerships and sales reps. Would recommend either for hassle free negotiations.
BTW, anyone get the Environmental Protection Package? Will I never wax my car again?
Excellent car/value compared to similarly equipped BMW 5, Audi A6, Jaguar S-Type, Volvo S60, Lexus GS.
I chose the Full Aero Kit; and as you correctly state it is an aesthetics thing. I prefer the looks of the car with it and am not sure why it would ever grow tiresome.
The lower rear (lower bumper at the exhaust level) of all Ms has black plastic "trim." I do not think this looks good on the light colored cars; of course it is hardly noticable on the dark ones (e.g. Black and Blue). For lighter colors, the aero kit's color matching this lower rear "mis-match" will always look better than stock.
Congrats on the purchase.
Sohail.
Northern Calif I know but may be worth calling the Fleet Manger there. Sweet color combination.
i leased the M35x with journey,Nav, Aero for 2500 down and 597 month for 24 months.......heres the real kicker............18000 MILESSSSSSS......I tell you what....this car ROCKS!!!!!!!
PS: NJ area
In the Bay Area Just luck Sails Manager had to move the M45s.
I gave up the TECH PKG bcoz it was difficult to get tech, JRN and AERO.....i think i made a wise choice...i have a freind who has th M35 without AERO....i feel it doesnt do the car any justice.....ONCE AGAIN>>>>>AERO PKG IS A MUST.
1) I am not sure what I should do maybe someone can convince me either way. I am looking at getting the M35X or the M45 both Premium Packages. I live in Southern CA so snow is not a big problem, however rain can be, rare but it does happen. I wouldn’t mind driving to the mountains occasionally or even to other places with bad weather, ie UT, CO and KS. Its not that I really need to have the extra horses either so can someone help me out?
2) I am going to have to order either one, can you give me an idea of what to expect? I have never ordered a car, do I need to purchase the car first or is there a deposit? What about length of time?
3) I am looking at putting a substantial amount down. Anywhere from 80%-90% down. What kind of price should I expect to pay for a)M35x w/Premium or b)M45 w/ Premium Package

Just ordered a M-45 Sport with Technology package for $1000 over invoice from Glendale Infininty in S. Cal. I did everything over the phone. The key was asking for the fleet, internet manager and having him give the quote. Best deal I could find. Expected time of delivery is 10 weeks. That's OK. My lease on current car runs out in December.
Tim Anderson
I am in Las Vegas. There are two dealers but 1 owner here. They would only give me $400 to $600 off MRSP. I bought an M45 Sport / Jurney/Teck/xm Platinum/Stone /Rear decklid spoiler. Invoice $51657. MSRP $ 56580 There is $4923 difference. (I paid $750 over Invoice.) Now the rest of my jurney. So, I gave Glendal Infiniti A call said I would pay the same as Tim Anderson. They said OK. I spent 2 days with 2 different car. At the end I sat waiting for a fax from the dealer that never came and they never called. Another Post Said Infiniti of Santa Monica had a lots of M45. Called the Internet sales person he said Ok but $1400 over. My brother livis in Redondo Beach So I tried Infiniti of Torrances thay were $1300 over. But what the heck,I said find me a car. They could not find 1 in LA the way I wanted it. The closiest was Pleasanton Infiniti In the Bay Area. and that I should call them direct. They could have the car shipped in but it woild cost extra. ( An honest Dealer ) Called Pleasanton Infiniti spoke with A Sales & Leasing Consultant. I said he had a car that I would want to purchase. Explained all the fruststration down in Southern Cailfornia. I even said I would pay $ 1300 over. He went to his manager, called me back and said they would do the deal for $750 over. Manager said thay are over stocked on M45. He faxed the paper work. I bought air line tickets and flew to Oakland Saturday. They picked us up and in 4 hours we where on the road back to Las Vegas.( Now this is another honest dealer. I said I pay $1300 over.)I told them that I was goind to Post this ordeal on the internet. Becase in an previoues Post I was asked who made the Deal.
He talk to his Manager, came back and said Ok
So in endind up,I LOVE the car. Hope you all work hard on getting a good deal There out there.

For the people who were able do get an M35 Sport from Ramsey Infiniti, did you have to wait a long time for them to get one in? Did you have your choice of colors and options? I'm thinking about contacting their internet department so I won't have to deal with clueless salespeople.
DO you know what residual and money factors were used. What tax in your state?
Thanks
MSRP: $48,640. MY COST: $45,000 INVOICE $44,284 (as per Consumer Rpt. & as I recall Edmund’s was about the same, though CU indicated there is $1,154 “Dealer’s Holdback”--money from the manufacturer to pay for ~3 months floor plan, so if they sell a unit before then, they say, there is extra profit. I got several comparable offers from 2-3 dealers including Fairfield & Glendale. It helps knowing exactly what you want & will pay & when, no dinking around to waste their time. Consummating the deal by phone, fax or email before going in cuts the likelihood of any funny business when you go in. Your goose is really cooked if you’re not sure & go in w/ “The Wife” to get some numbers, hoping for a good deal--it’s clearly their ad.
My car is the base model w/ Tech, Journey, Splash & full spare, etc. The latter I’m not sure was a good idea as it takes ~ 3 cu ft trunk space. I absolutely LOVE the awesome Bose, amazing! ...but those $20 audio DVDs!! After Claudio’s thorough explanation of the tech stuff, I can fairly comfortably get around the system after a couple hours practice.....some reading to do this weekend. Nav book 200 pgs. Main book 350 pages!!! It is largely intuitive for anyone who has spent any time at all w/ computers or cell phones. ....teaching my wife, now that’s a different story.
I had looked at & driven numerous great cars: GS300, is350, RL, TL, and I especially wanted to like the BMW 330i (just too choppy, short on user friendly toys, loads of fun tho even w/ std suspension), BMW 530i (probably the best compromise of quiet/ride/handling -use of Active Steering the mags gripe about, I found immediately predictable & a joy. BUT--chintzy Naugahyde look/feel leather, lousy sound...then there’s the price & reliability...) Any one I could live w/, or my old car, so I wasn’t wed to the M being the only show in town...maybe made it easier to get the price I wanted, tho only $600 under their original phone offer. I would prefer a bit smoother ride & a bit quieter so the M35x or Sport wouldn’t have worked though perhaps even more fun to drive. It’s a great choice & hope to have it 10 yrs!?! HAPPY HUNTING & HAPPY MOTORING!

At $1390 retail, it's a good price, especially if you're leasing.
But I also learned that Infiniti lease calculators don't work the same way as the standard lease calculators like the one found on edmunds.com and on other web sites. I have a feeling that they don't residualize the destination charge or something because while I was shopping around, the monthly payment charge calculated by the dealer was always around $10 higher than the ones I calculated. I would perform my calculation on an Excel spreadsheet and also using the online leasing calculators. The one on my spreadsheet would match the online leasing calculators to the penny, but never one calculated by the dealer.
Here are the numbers.
MSRP $57990
Cap cost $53334 (what dealer told me), $53137 (what I calculated)
0 down
$1569 drive off including first month
59% residual

During my car search, I also learned that the internet department at a couple of other dealers in the NY/NJ area (in addition to Ramsey Infiniti) were willing to sell cars at $1K over invoice. They are Competition Infiniti in Long Island and Kings Infiniti in Brooklyn.

Ramsey offered me $800 over invoice and a local dealer in boston offered me $1000 over invoice. Do you think I should go with the local dealer or make that trip over to NJ? Also, I was wondering if prices are going to fall in the month of December. If so, maybe waiting a few weeks might generate a better sale? Also, is it possible to get these things lower than 800 over invoice? I heard of people buying at or below invoice. I just find that hard to believe.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely check out the Nissan VPP (vehicle purchase program) before buying. Thanks to another poster on this board, I checked and found my company on their list and was able to order my car for $400 over invoice with no haggling! Thanks to everyone who has posted here - incredibley helpful information.
Now the hard part...waiting for my new M to get here!
