I think you can expect to pay MSRP (maybe a small discount if you've bought from dealer before) till about June...once the dealers get some on the ground that last more than 2 weeks, they will start to discount a little.
Infiniti launched the vehicle with awesome lease numbers and 1.9% financing up to 66 months!
What would you say is the biggest driving difference (feel wise) between the JX and the QX?
I called four other dealers in the Chicago area and they are not honoring the VPP pricing as well. Bummer.....
I was able to see & test drive car this weekend in Long Island, NY. Really nice car. Received following quote:
AWD w/premium package
36 months with 12,000 miles
MSRP 48,720
$3,270 down (includes 1st mth payment)
$619/mth
Was told money factor .00157 and residual 62%
Does seem right? Is this is decent deal?
Thanks for your help.

AWD, Premium, Deluxe Touring, Theater, and Technology.

They also assisted in getting me out of my G37x lease with 14 months left on the lease!
In my experience, 5 years as GSM at one of the largest Infiniti dealerships in the US, once supply starts to catch up with demand - probably this summer then all the dealers will start to honor VPP pricing.
We (and many of the dealers in Texas) are honoring VPP, mostly because we got a large amount of JX allocated to us due to our high volumn of sales. We've sold 37 of the 40 we got in the first two weeks and now about 50% of our inbound units are sold.
The JX is built in the US, so it only takes about 8 weeks to get one even if you custom order. So, the best thing to do is go to your local dealer and custom order one! Even at MSRP, this vehicle is a great Value!
Remember what happend when the QX came out...they all sold for MSRP (or a modest discount for previous customers) for about 9 months or so...by the time supply caught up with demand and the dealers started wheeling and dealing - Infiniti had 3 PRICE INCREASES!! So, the MSRP had gone up 2-3k...but the dealers discounted $2-3k...and you ended up right back to the original MSRP!
Wouldn't shock me if they raise the price on this JX soon....
I worked with the sales manager and he basically said that they want to move cars so that they can get more/quicker
Congratulations on your JX, I am actively looking to buy a JX and appreciate if you can post the dealer name and city so it helps us negotiate price.
thanks
Any insight provided would be appreciated. Also, has anyone else had any luck getting the car for less than MSRP?
But, as I will live in CA, I think it'd be better to buy car after the move for future maintenance or etc. (Transferring the car from GA to CA is paid by the company).
So far, there's not many samples for the actual prices of JX, either in GA or CA. It looks like tax rates are similar to each other (Atlanta's Fulton county: 8%, Santa Clara 8.25%).
What'd be your choice if you were like me? Thanks!
cars are generally less expensive in CA.
More dealers means they will be discounted earlier.
Possibility of getting damaged/scratched in moving.
generally you get better service @ the dealer you buy from.
Also remember lemon laws are state dependent...if you buy in GA then GA laws will apply...might be difficult to deal with living in CA.....hopefully you won't have to invoke it...but just in case...first model year
Seriously, do the math on the pre-paid maintenance. Compare the cost of the contract v. the cost of buying the services as you go. If you save anything it'll be minimal. You might insulate yourself from price increases but you'll do so at the expense of having to pay for everything up front (or worse, finance it & pay interest) and you're locked in to just the contract providers to actually get the service. Which might be an issue if, say, circumstances force you to move or you find their service unsatisfactory.
Keep in mind anyone can do the service during the warranty period. As long as the work is documented, i.e. you get receipts, warranty coverage is not voided.
WRT extended warranties, they're just insurance policies that cover breakdowns. I've had them before & have gotten my money's worth but I've also had them and not used them at all. The common advice around here is to not buy the EW. Instead, stick the money in an account and use it to pay for any maintenance that the EW would otherwise cover. Unless the vehicle is a maintenance nightmare or you're unlucky enough to suffer a major breakdown - trans or engine replacement - you'll have money left over.
Infiniti's come with a pretty decent warrant as it is. 6 yr/70K powertrain. Their EW extends that to 8 yr/120K miles. So whatever the price you're not really extending coverage all that much.
We got the VVP pricing. The sticker was $52,700 and paid $48,500. We live in SoCal and was very pleased with this dealership-Orange Coast Infiniti in Westminister.
With so many options out there, (MDX, better handling--- but JX has better interior design for families), the decision to pay sticker for the JX seems like a emotional buy rather than a logical choice.
I wonder if people out there know that the Pathfinder 2013 looks exactly like the JX on the inside.
I am kinda torn between the full price JX, 5-6k off for MDX and possibly a 10k cheaper 2013 pathfinder.
Is everyone paying close to sticker for the JX? If I can get 3-4k off, I would get the JX.
As for someone saying that a Sienna is 46k--- and Infiniti will increase JX MRSP... I don't think so--- with competition from MDX--- people in Southern Cal are getting 42k for mdx tech (with navi)... I think Infiniti is doing just fine with marketing, don't create the hype for the dealers--- we don't need consumers competing against each other.
The fact is that Infiniti has a decent crossover on their hands with the JX, and they know it. Dealers here in the midwest can't keep them on their lots. But like all new models, interest will eventually fall as will dealer pricing. I bought one now because I needed to make a switch. With a car loan from PenFed @ 1.9% interest for 60 months, the savings of waiting was negligible vs. interest rates climbing in 6-8 months.....
They were going after the MDX and Audi buyers---
What I should have said was that without any discounts, the JX is overpriced when negotiation is factored... So, the question is do I want to pay an extra 6k for the newer model of the JX... over the MDX.
If I can manage to get 2-3 off the sticker the JX would make sense.
For JX to sell well, should it be at a lower price than MDX?
Take the Toyoyta Sienna minivan that I bought my wife last may. When it was released 9 months earlier, they were mostly selling at MSRP. I wasn't willing to pay MSRP, so I waited. I was able to get an almost $47k minivan for $40k by waiting. There will always be a price to pay by being an early adopter.
However, if you work for an Infiniti dealership (sorry if I am wrong, but you sound like so), then this is not a fair discussion.
I am quite bothered by this. Since this is a new model, I would not be surprised that Infiniti has people here to try to manipulate the market to get a higher selling price for the years to come.
I posted the above original message to remind people the selling price is higher than a very popular competing car that was top-rated - not that I like the other or not, neither that I do not like this car (I have not looked at one yet).
This is a message board for people to specifically discuss this car. People are here because they like or are interested in the car. In general, people are paying MSRP because that is what the market dictates and what dealers can get. I am not sure what other information you are expecting to see?
Yes, this is a luxurious car. The other poster and you should remind Edmunds.com to get rid of this forum more than reminding me that this is not Walmart kind of shopping. According your answers to my posting, luxurious car shoppers need not to bargain.
People are here to shop, not to hear why this is not Walmart or why they should not bargain. Do not waste our time.
the other poster, who bargains at Walmart though?
would go look at JX too.
When I bought my Lexus GX in 2007, I also looked at the newly redesigned Toytoa Highlander.... Same deal as with the JX, dealers would not negotiate from MSRP because it was a new design. I said screw it, and bought the GX for $4500 below sticker, which ended up being only $3500 more than the loaded Highlander at the time.
My point is that inventory is low.... Dealers are selling the JX before they roll off of the delivery truck. With that in mind why, as a dealer, would you sell a product for thousands less when you have customers willing to pay MSRP or close to it?
I understand where you are coming from, but I think your expectations on price are a bit inflated (at the moment)..... For some reason you seem to feel offended at the fact that Acura is offering all sorts of Incentives without bargaining, and Infiniti is not. This is business 101... When you have a product that is threatened by a new competitor and the competitor's product is superior, the only action you can take is to reduce the price.
Value is subjective. If I bought an 2012 MDX for $1K under invoice, I'd still feel I paid too much because the design is dated. Think of it this way... 5 years from now the 2012 MDX will look 10 years old because it was outdated in 2012.
