After 6 years with my 98 Altima and close to 200k miles, its time to upgrade. I've been looking at 07 g sedans now and need some help with my initial offer as well as ways to negotiate down the sticker price.

1) 2007 g35x black 20kmiles excellent condition listed at 21,000
2) 2007 g35s silver 30kmiles excellent condition listed at 22,900

Is there a realistic chance to get either of these below sticker price, if so how much?
What would be a realistic offer?
What are some forms of negotiating that have worked for you during your purchasing?

First Post, thanks guys.

 

I'd get the silver one. Start at 20.5 and see where it goes.

 

I like the silver one as well. Any tips for a first time buyer like myself with negotiations? What has worked for you in the past to work down from the sticker price?

 

I would go with black just due to the fact I prefer that color over silver but since its a g35x (not sure if u need that) but go with the silver g35s.

Just tell the dealer you want it for that price out the door. Title, tax, etc. included. Give it to me for that price and I'll sign the papers right now and here. Be firm, but don't be a jerk about it. I'm sure they'll try to negoitate back and forth but just tell them you want it for that price out the door. If they finally get to a out the door price close to what you want go for it.

Good luck. Also are you buying it from an actual inifiniti dealer or a different dealership?

 

Typically what are the cost for the additional fees besides taxes such as title etc?
Most cars priced low I have seen are from non-infiniti dealerships, anything to be concerned about there?

 

Well be sure to point out any blemishes on the car. Like if there is a small scuff or dent that can easily be taken out by a PDR person or detailer, make sure you mention it to make it seem like the car is not worth as much. Also, mention you've got a couple of cars lined up to look at during the day. That makes you seem like a serious buyer.
Be sure to be knowledgeable on the features and packages that the car is equiped with and be sure to find out the invoice price of the car new, just so you know how much you are saving.
Basically, don't seem overly interested in the car in front of the salesperson. Make them think you don't really care if you buy it from them. Make them give you an incentive to buy it from them.

 

On Infiniti dealer, they are probably selling you a certified car, meaning they have inspected and going to give you some additional warranty. You might want to stop by an Infiniti dealer and ask about it. IMHO it's not worth it (usually adds ~2000 to the price)

I am also after a nice 2007 G35 sedan. Interesting that you found cars about 2000+ dollars cheaper than what I've been finding here in Seattle. Mind sharing which area you are finding those prices?

(PS: 1st post!)

 

As far as pointing out blemishes, it seems like the cars I have seen in person don't really have any.
Cmori, I use autotrader and cars.com. Search by zip 11787, 150 miles, 19,000-23,000, and found many.
