Has anyone reduced or removed the admin fee when purchasing from infiniti ?
​

 

Depends on where you go and the dealer.

 

Any helpful recommendations?

 

Yeah, stay away from the dealer

 

If you purchase from a junkyard there is no admin fee

There's nothing special about admin fees and Infiniti. It's pretty much standard with any dealer. I've seen admin fees up to $700, so it looks like a pretty good deal to me....

 

The word "fee" is a synonym for robbery in my book, no such thing as good deal. At least they sometimes fix the roads with your taxes before giving all the rest of it to rich white guys in suits and the military contractors...

 

Negotiate it away

 

Either try to get them to lower it or knock it off the sticker price. They have to be crazy to not make the sale over such a little amount. But, some fees you just can't avoid

 

Here's my take. Don't look at the specific fee when planning your negotiation strategy. The dealers have a million and one ways to screw the customer on the final price you'll pay. What it boils down to is the final number they offer you or will get to. If they take off the admin fee they will just make it up somewhere else if you aren't paying attention. It gets worse if you finance, then you have to deal with interest rate etc. Don't even get me started on finance departments and how shady they can be. I would recommend setting a budget with what you are willing to pay and don't let your heart rule the purchase. If they won't meet it just walk away, there's always another car for you somewhere. Keep them in the dark about your budget so they can't use it in their negotiations.

 

It is preowned so I have their final price. 399 admin, 75 fuel surcharge, licensing.. Price wasn't listed.
Vehicle plus tax.

Im just not sure how much they would realistically consider taking off. Its new to the dealer and hasnt been on autotrader yet, so I feel like I'll be one of the first looking at it. And also don't want to lose a decent deal. There's some expensive 2014 q60s in comparison so I couldn't even use autotrader as a bargaining chip. I won't be financing unless its 0 percent financing which I doubt. I will try to use paying full as a bargaining chip, if they care.

 

Have them throw in services like a free trans flush, power steering flush, rear differential, coolant.,crankcase. They're only losing labor at that point and you likely need that stuff done anyways.

 

They had no problem removing the admin fee.
They also dropped the price an additional 500 with some negotiating.

Im now the owner of a mint 2014 q60

 

Sweet! Congratulations!
