Here's the thing though. The longer you wait to try and hold out for a better price, the lower your chances of getting the car you want. It's a tradeoff however you look at it. If you happen to find exactly what you're looking for then kudos to you. Otherwise, good luck finding exactly what you want in about a month. You guys aren't the only ones trying to hold out for a super deal. I'm shocked at how many '07 Coupes you guys claim your local retailers have in stock. I work at Infiniti of Honolulu and I'll tell you that we don't have many left at all (something like 8 5ATs and 7 6MTs). I can pretty much guarantee that we'll have sold close to all of these cars by the time mid-August rolls around. I mean heck, we were able to move a Serengetti 6MT about a week ago, and we all know how popular Serengetti Coupes are. LOL.

 

Actually the G35's should actually drop in price with the 37's and Altima coupes coming out this summer. I have very reliable sources that have told me this, plus I am eventually going to look for a 35 also, hopefully...thats my #1 choice if i can find the right deal. Just like any car thats holds its value for a period of time, its eventually gonna have to come down...as for the sedans, they are already kind of cheap compared to the coupe.

 

M3 power? Which M3? Certainly not the new one.

 

I think he was talking about the 06 M3s. The G37 will certainly not compare in power to the upcoming M3s.

 

That's the thing you guys are missing the point: These two cars aren't in direct competition of each other (maybe the 07 and barely the 06). We are talking about used cars, not NEW ones. Now, like I said previously, when there are used G37's, that is a different story.

 

Give the G37 at least 6 months to cool off. There will be those that prefer the original Coupe design and that will keep the earlier Coupe values up. As far as the sedan goes, they will always be softer in value to the Coupes as they keep pumping them out in volume.

 

I don't think Infiniti is planning a 2008 G35 coupe... so I'm not quite sure where you're going to find a G35 coupe after the G37 is released at dealerships.

 

I hope this ends up like the Jaguar XKE's in the sixties. The series one had the smallest engine of all, but the glassed in headlights and sportier seats made it the end all in that line. The series 2's when released with a bigger 12 cylinder engine was slower and uglier, but hey it was newer right? Now you are hard pressed to find any XKE for sale, let alone a series one.

 

It should not affect resale value of the G35 period. However it should cause 07s to be sold at a cheaper price the closer we get to G37 release. I mean, all those pre-orders should be G35 sales don't you think? The sticker won't be cheaper but dealers will be more willing to get you a better price on a G35c

 

When a new/redesigned model is released, value of older body styles fall. That's just a historical fact across all of cardom. Anybody who can't see that is living in fantasy land.

 

True......but the the redesigned model has to prove itself worthy as being reliable with no major issues...........otherwise the orginal design will be the one sought after on the resale market.

 

The reason you can't find one for sale is because most of them are at the shop up on lifts!

 

It is a redesign, not a brand new model. The price of the 35's is going down. Every car takes a value hit when a redesign comes out. People are gonna start dumping there 35's to get new 37's or to get new cars altogether. Its just a fact of the car business.

 

i think it will drop but not that much

 

The G37 is considered to be a brand new model. Why would Infiniti change everything on the car (especially the brand new engine) and just call it a redesign? A redesign is like what Infiniti has done with the 2008 M. It's still the same generation M, but just a refreshed model. The G37 has MANY changes compared with the G35 in both styling and performance departments. A redesign is what it is... simply a redesign. The G37 is definitely not a redesign.

You may be thinking that brand new model means that Infiniti has some out with a completely different car and calling it the new... X35 or something... but brand new models are known as next generation.
