my experience with this dealership was a good one.
i was one signature away from trading in my '03 MDX for an '03 FX35.
the numbers were excellent but i have decided to sell my MDX privately and lease an '04 FX45.
BTW, interstate auto purchase is not much different as the taxes you pay are based on your address and go to your state.
for more detailed info please contact me directly at c.marukos@att.net
good luck,

But for around $650, they will deliver it to your door.
You should always do pre-delivery inspection on the car.
Grubbs beat all the San Diego dealers by at least $100 a month on a 39 month/15k lease.
And the dealers here had a poor selection.
A big % of buyers at Grubbs are from out-of-state.
They wouldn't be #1 without us, and all the "Grubbs-guys" are terrific.
You get a tour when you're there, and they have something no dealer I know has - a full-time computer guy who keeps their network and internet biz in top shape.
I have never seen a dealer with such an awesome internet presence. These guys are geared for E- Commerce and that's why they get the business.
In contrast, the E-Commerce managers at my local dealerships are still in the stone age.
Have a Great Weekend!!
I agree with your statement and it's the big reason why Infiniti is adding an 8-way passenger seat for 2004 models.
However, for 2003 models, there aren't very many options, IMO. That's why the initial test drive is so important and why all the usual passengers should be present. However, having all the usual passengers is not always possible during test drives. If it were an issue for my wife, I would not have bought our FX, but possibly have waited for Infiniti to rectify the issue. Guess I wouldn't have to wait long if I had to do that.

Looks AWESOME!

Please let me know. I'm interested. Where do you live?
Will have to get her to let me drive it soon. If it is as nice as the G35, I expect to be impressed.
She just came out of a '00 RX300, and is very impressed by the increase in power and better handling, especially the tighter turning radius. Bought this over the MDX and XC-90, even though it was smaller (and no 3rd seat), because of the comfort and handling, plus what seems to be an excellent deal.
Will post some additional opinions once I have had a chance to ride in and drive it.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
39 Month lease 12k miles year $0 down.
What would be a good price for this vehicle ?
Look at two factors: Money In and Total Monthly Payment. That's it.
I'd also bump my yearly mileage allowance up to 15k. You will have trouble keeping it down to that and it's not that much more per month.
I leased a full boat 45 from Grubbs last month. It was $2500 in and $735 a month for 39/15k. No dealer here in San Diego could touch that by over $100 a month. It was worth going to Dallas and driving home with the new beast.
Besides, the dealers here were prima-donnas and did not have the selection (50k cars here are chump change for high-tech yuppies).
Good luck but use Grubbs as your standard. They are the biggest for a reason and no one has the E-Commerce businees dialed-in like they do.

just wondering if you had any info on the sales person and dealership that quoted you the $300 over invoice on the 2004. have you already placed your order on this vehicle and would you mind providing details as to where we can get the same?
i test drove the fx35 tech and the v6/v8 touareg and loved 'em both. i think the new changes in '04 will make the fx35 tech really unbeatable. i'm hoping they will be available in sept...
I haven't ordered yet. I really truly am deciding between the escalade ext, the fx, and one other car.
I'll keep you informed.
I'll never pay more than a few hundred over invoice.

You may name the dealership but anything beyond that violates edmunds.com's Terms of Use.
Thanks!

However, I think that chroming the stock FX 20" would be really different than the 22-24" "mobile jewelry" we see here on Navis and Escalades.
It seems to be a two sided war here. Escalades and Navis with the wild wheels (some with "spinners") versus the yuppies with H2s.
Either way you will get your 6000 lb accelerated depreciation. Either vehicle can usually be found going slow in the right lane just "lookin good".
I'd rather skip the weight and 3 box look and drive in the left lane in my 45.
It's nice to be able to blow off either vehicle at will.
Take your depreciation credit and the conformity.
I lease and write off 80% every year. Having a 6000 lb monster to drive is like wearing a ball and chain.
These are two different schools. That's really the decision here.
Make sure YOU open the hatch only. It does not take much leverage to do $$$ damage.
So I need to make a difficult choice. Comfort and speed over economics and practicality. I can't get over the fact that I could have a brand new Cadillac or H2 for about $35,000 after the accelerated depreciation. And the 0% financing on the Escalade is free money.
Wish me good luck. Tell the salesman that I may still be by to order my '04. He'll remember me if you mention the local Orthopaedic surgeon that he gave two test drives in the past month.
By the way, did he drive you under the Bayside bridge in the mud? Unbelieveable.

Bones- hope you ultimately decide to go with the performance and the toys found in the fx. on some other boards, several posts about how fun it is to have 'em both.
93fsu1- let us know what you find out about ordering for 04. seems pretty quiet in terms of being able to order one just yet. may have to wait a month or two more yet.
cjs2002- the dealer in texas that does huge ecommerce business is Grubbs DFW Infiniti. I've written them about ordering, but haven't heard anything back yet.
I'll let everyone know what happens. I will probably call in a couple of weeks - have some home remodeling to finish first.
No problems with the car otherwise after 4000 miles.
P.S. The dealer did screw up a bit on the oil change. I took in my own Mobil 1 but the tech didn't use it, despite it being written up on the order sheet. Even though they offered to dump the regular oil, I was in a hurry so I left it in - the service manager said he would "make it up for me" next time.
BTW, I'm with you on the $30,000 limit for a car, that is why I'll probably be buying my FX pre-owned.
trying to decide if I should wait on 2004 FX35 or get it now. My local dealer did not have any special finincing, even though he was willing to give me a good deal on the price. At the rist of alienating some people on this forum, I also got to say that I was not very impressed with the interior of the car. It does not feel luxurious at all,kinda generic. But considering that I liked the ride and handling, I'm reluctant to reject the car just because it does not have wood trim and does not feel as upscale as my 10 yo J30.
If you have any opinions on 04 vs 03 or the quality of interior, please share.
Thanx,
Alex
Hosts (edited) , it was easier to put the link to the pics rather than the link of each picture.

I'll say! It's nontrivial to extract pics from Multimedia Flash.
