What to do? Gladly listen to opinions

I was at Guelph Infiniti for a minor warranty claim. To make a long story short, for the past 5-6 months, the salesman has been trying to get me to unload my 07 G35x (64k km) for a 2011.
I can get a 2011 G37S, 6MT, Navi/tech, 20%tint, for less than I pay now.
They have Blk on Blk, Aspen Pearl on Stone, Asgard Grey on Blk.
I like them all (go figure) but am leaning toward blk on blk. I dont mind the upkeep of a black car.

What are your favourite colour combos?
I can't remember if my 17" alloy winter wheels should clear the Sport brake kit.

I'd go with black on black as well out of those options. My all time favorite combo is Ivory Pearl with the graphite interior. Not sure if that's still available these days.

Making the jump from an X to S 6MT?
If you don't mind the upkeep on black, why look further?

& no, your winter 17s will not fit the S brakes.
Here's what you do....
- sell your 17" winter pkg
- Buy some winters for the OE wheels
- buy my DPEs


Sounds like a win deal Paul. Lower payments & a 4yr newer car

Less than you pay now??? Meaning, your monthy is smaller? You sure you aren't being conned into a stretched out payment plan and would actually pay more in the end?

Total cost of car is less than the X was 4 years ago....this is why. Infiniti is giving $3000 back to dealer (Factory to Dealer Rebate), interest rate was 2.9 then and is now 0.9, plus I am chipping away at the $4200 markup between dealer invoice and msrp. We will see where it goes from here. Its not a done deal.
I was just happy to see there are 3 on his lot and about 8more to be shipped if need be. I though 6MT sedans where hard to find...maybe just preowned.

They are usually order in only.
Dealers don't like them on the lot because they take too long to turn over.

These must have been sitting in the compound for quite a while & Guelph got an incentive to grab them.

It's because most women won't drive the 6mt and won't let their husbands buy the 6mt because of it.

^ lucky for me, when I asked for her thoughts about it, MY wife said get the 6MT. She has always driven a manual (except for the 4 years we had the minivan) and she owns a manual again herself. I have always had manuals until the X, even my Ford Explorer was a MT, lol
I took the G37S 6MT out for about 20 minutes. When I drove my X home from the dealer I reached for the clutch 3 times. I guess its meant to be.

My kids are getting close to the driving age. Im glad they will be learning to drive MT's as well.

Anyway, still working out the deal with Guelph. Its looking pretty good so far.

Excellent!
I'm afraid that it will be a lost art one day.
Both of my girls learned how.


...so will you have it in time for the meat meet?

I am 99.9% certain I wont have it for the meet this weekend.
Just yesterday we finally came to terms both parties could accept. Now they just have to lock up the deal by getting there hands on the only Blk/Blk, Navi, 6MT, sitting in the Vancouver port. I should hear something by the end of the day. If they don't get it I must admit that I am really warming up to the Asgard Grey/Blk...but I really prefer OB.

I thought they were cars that Guelph had in hand.
lol; If it's still in Van City, I think your assumption is probably good.

I don't think I've seen Asgard Grey, I assume it's a dark grey?
