Hello all,

My 2004 G35 coupe's lease is going to end in Oct. and my buyout is at 13K...I've checked Kelly Blue book and N.A.D.A. and they've listed my car at 21K Private Party and 18K Trade-in...If this value holds up by Oct. this obviously is a good buy for me...

My question is...can I negotiate the buyout price lower? I've read you can always negotiate the buyout price lower. How much is another question and also will I pay tax again? Thanks for the help everyone! If any dealers could chime it that would be great so I can get a first hand timeline on when and whom i should start contact IFS for buyout.

Thanks again!

Are you sure about that $25K? That sounds REALLY high. I don't think any dealer will give you that much. Were you looking at the private party value or the trade-in value?

I ran the trade-in value through KBB for an 04 with only 30K miles and it was more like $20000 in Excellent condition.

 

Do'h Sorry about that I was looking at suggested retail...Thanks for the correction!

Do you have any input or opinions about my question?

 

I know powertrain is 6 years 70,000 miles or whatever, but see if they'll include an extended factory warranty in any buyout offer you negotiate.
