I assume this is the car you're looking at:

If they're advertising it at that price, you might be able to work them down lower too should you decide to buy it.
I think if you look around, you'll probably find that you could buy a car with NAV for a similar price. Keep in mind too that a new model G Coupe is going to be out shortly, so if you plan on keeping your new G for only a few years and then selling it, you'll probably take a hit on value once the new one is out.

Dude, go private, you'll save much more money in the long run, and it is worth the effort to sell your car privately as well.
Dealerships HAVE to maintain operating costs and overhead, so you'll never get a "great" deal unless you're related to the general sales manager or something.
Also, they'll try to lock you into auto loans that they only have access to, which are typically higher interest rates. Get a approved through an outside auto loan lender, then go to the dealership and negotiate. Here's a good link to find an auto loan:

I can't believe how many responses I have gotten since yesterday. I really appreciate everyone's input and wish I could of joined the family here. Some day maybe...hopefully the 2008 redesign won't be that dramatic that it will make the current design very outdated. I will probably look into a 2005 now.

You also must realize that by trading it in you save on sale tax yo will only pay take on the difference between the two prices so right there you save a bunch of money so if you go private party and pay 25 for a car then your paying 1750 in tax at 7% (thats jerseys rate) but if you buy the same car at the dealer for 25 than you only pay 175 in sales tax so also think about that

I am definitely going to try to find one at a dealership for $25K (2004+ MT and Nav)

So who knew my search was not completely dead. I'll probably go take a look at a G this weekend. Here are the specs:
2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe
Black Exterior/Tan Interior
6 Speed
30,959 miles
Navigation System
19" ASA rims
Lowered (Not sure if its just springs or the complete system)
Tinted
All for $25,900...but I'm going to offer them...
$23,000 for my car, $24,000 OTD for the G and I would give them a $1000 down payment. This would basically make it so that I don't extend my loan 2 more years like the other G and this one comes with a Navigation system. The only bad thing that I can see right now is that its a tan interior, but I do like the fact that its already lowered, has some aftermarket wheels, tinted and I think there's a short ram intake too.
Do you think this is possible?

I would say definitely try to negotiate some more, but warranty and condition of the car will have to play a major role. If the car is immaculate you should consider getting it and not worrying about a 1000 bucks here or there, especially since you'll be saving a little on tax when trading yours in at the dealer. On the other hand 2004 with those miles does not have much warranty left, maybe 2005 or newer would be a safer bet. I took a beating on my trade-in in 2005 when I bought my '04 at the dealer, but the car has everything I wanted from options to interior and exterior colors so I'm happy. Navigation is great, but 2004 have old versions and it was useless a few times for me, when going to new construction areas. If you find one, then great, but if you don't , there are cheaper and better navigation systems out there. G/L.

From these current postings, I think I can get them to sell the car to me for $24K OTD. I think I'm going to play the part of that person who hates the fact that the car is modified already and not stock. I'll keep saying that I wish it wasn't stock and use that to my advantage when negotiating.
I want to join the G family damn it! hahaha
