OK...here goes,

2004 G35 2 door Coupe. 6MT Black on Black. and the topper, 4,200 miles! no navi.

they want 26,950. Its at a Non-infiniti Dealership

Seems pretty high to me, but i see that the mileage could definitely do it....but wanted to get some opinions


its also local...about 4 blocks from my work haha

Kelly Blue Book seems to not take mileage into affect...Excellent Private Party value is only at 23,655.00

NADA is giving the car a $2,325 adder for the low mileage, putting the car at 24,000 for Trade in and Retail Value at 27,225.

 

4200 miles for that price is just a little high. I would talk them down a little bit and ask them for a price of 24k. Also inquire about the warranty or you can just go to a dealership and buy the extended warranty.

 

i asked a guy about another one last year...the blue carribean id been drooling over...eventhough we were a buy/sell relationship and he could have lied, he said his 2004 6mt, no navi, 40Kmile, the dealerships on a tradein would give him 24,000. This was last year in October though..

 

Talk them down.
A) There is no such thing as Excellent Condition in used cars. It might look great but its not "Excellent Condition"
B) NADA and KBB are not accurate and it is NOT what the dealer used to price cars. They might tell you what KBB value is to make you think youre getting a good deal.
That car is way overpriced even with only 4200 mi.

 

Even since last October the blue book values of G35 coupes have dropped several thousand dollars (I check mine every month, even putting in the previous mileage to verify that it's not a product of added mileage, which it largely isn't).

Perhaps the reason KBB doesn't give an advantage to an '04 with such low mileage is that it is severely low, suggesting it may not have been driven for long periods of time, which is not good for a car.

Either way I think they are asking too much, especially if they can't provide you with a previous owner(s) who can verify they drove the car at least a few times a month.

 

i agree 100% with you guys that the price seems high...but it is a G35 that is highly wanted...

tell me what price is "Decent" and what price would be a "great deal"...

im going there after work and want to throw a figure at them...

PS...I've never purchased from a dealer but this G35 just came in today and is actual scheduled wednesday to get services....its not even technically on the lot yet.

 

i got my 06 loaded for close to that out the door with 10k miles... overpriced

YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT TO FIND A GOOD DEAL ON A CAR!!! I waited 4 months to find mine. they will come around.

 

ive been on the lookout since October..im on my 5th month

 

have you been looking at a large radius? i got mine in Atlanta, and i live in KC, gotta be willing to drive a bit to get a good deal.

got mine on internet special at graves infiniti in atlanta.

 

about a 250mile radius. I dont see how you guys do the long distance buying though...my loan place takes 3-4 days per VIN.

I do believe a local buy would be nicer...i figure gas or planetrip would be at least worth 500 dollars

 

kbb and nada are buying and selling tools for dealerships. if you really want to know what things are worth try ebay and go to completed listing. almost all dealers use this now to figure what cars are selling for. i bought one in the midwest in september after doing my research on ebay. 07 diamond graphite with 6000 miles on it for $28,500 dollars. no matter what year you buy you have to pic a price and stick to it. the car salesman job is to get the most $ that they can and they all have many ways of doing that but ultimately you have the final say. stick to your price and you will get the job done. i was in the car bis for several years.

 

hrmmm...i think im going to get my loan for 23,500 and take it up there when i look at the car... Then ill tell him thats all my loan company will allow on the vehicle. take it or leave it....doesnt seem like they would just go down 3000 from the 1st day its there though

 

21k for 2004 twilight blue g35 coupe no navi, premium package. btw this car is in ny if your interested, its for sale by owner <<---- me.

 

you would be surprised. if you have cash or the ability to pay for the car right then they will be alot more likely to deal. if 23,500 is what that car is selling for on ebay i would offer 22,500 but i would not give over 23,500. the dealer is smart and they did not buy that car over what they are selling for on ebay. when they ask you what your willing to give and you tell them they are going to act like there is no way they can sell you that car for that amount thats when its important to stick to your top dollar.let them get you to that number and then you may have to leave. don't worry the will be calling you back if they let you leave. when i bought mine i was @ that chicago dealership for three and a half hours but i got the job done. let me knoe how you come out.

 

im gunna agree with Hi tech 24 seems right
