Newbie here!

I'm interested in buying a G35 Sedan, 5AT. I'm looking at '04s and '05s, slightly used (max 40k on them).

Just wondering if you guys know what is a fair price for these vehicles and how much room there usually is to negotiate?

Any recommended dealers or ways to get a better deal?

Any info would help!

Thanks.

 

I bought an '05 Sedan with premium package in Ottawa at the beginning of August - invoice plus $113.00, a $3,844 discount from MSRP. 417 Infiniti was ready to deal, Tony Graham Infiniti definitely wasn't.

 

I'm assuming that was a new G35?

 

Yes. It had just arrived at the dealership, and was still in the wrapper. Straight cash deal, no trade.

 

Sorry if I missed it but where are you located? Seems like most 04/05 with ~40k are listed in the ~38-40k range, but I'd suspect you could negotiate down quite a bit on that. When I bought my '03 with 41k on it (premium/aero) in June we ended up at $2,600 under list. That was at Agincourt Nissan/Infiniti in Scarborough. Just gotta find one they have a large margin on.

 

I'm in the GTA so I definately know Agincourt Infiniti.

I'd like something with even less mileage (20k or less) but I'm flexible. Can I ask what the asking price and what you actually paid for the car?

 

I bought my 03 sedan Auto with 50k on it last week for $25,000.

 

My car was listed at $32,950 and we paid $30,355. That's an '03.5 with premium and aero and 41k km on it. We also got a clear bra installed for "free" and free oil changes for life. So I guess that's ~$1100 in stuff thrown in.

Our salesperson was Eileen Freelander, she was nice, accomodating, and most importantly, willing to deal.

 

Wow, what dealer did you get that from?

 

Seems alot cheaper then I am seeing right now. However I'm looking more towards '05s (possibly '04s). Seems like they are more in the 40k range. Quite a big drop in price I'd say. Any idea when it would be a good time to get deals on '05s? (I want IntelliKey, and the newer styling, etc)

 

I'm a Fleet Manager at Foss National Leasing, so I guess it's not really reflective of what it would cost retail.

We can buy 03's at the auction right now with 50k for the $25,000 range.

I was getting an 03 Coupe with 50k for $29,000 but one of the leasing reps stole it out from under me.

 

Yep, getting an '03 will save you ~10k, but it's 2 years less warranty and obviously doesn't have all the new stuff the '05 does. As for a good time to get a deal on '05's - *right now!*. '06's are coming in, and all indicators are pointing to the fact that dealers are willing to deal bigtime on the '05's. Folks are saying they're getting $50-$100 over invoice, someone on the sedan boards just mentioned that he got his for under invoice... Just go in knowing the numbers.

 

Would you be able to get me a car if I wanted?

 

Yeah I've gone to a couple of dealers and got some prices ($2200-2400 off MSRP), but its slightly out of my range when you factor in all the taxes etc. So I prefer getting something slightly used and saving the freight/pdi/gas/air.
