Well, the car I ordered is here, but I just turned it down!!The car is available for the taking at Peninsula Infiniti and is a 6 MT DG, Graphite, Premium, Navi (but no aero) coupe. The reason I turned it down was because I'm picking one up WITH aero (which I really wanted) at another dealership this weekend. I was initially going to be ok without the aero package, but then decided later that I wanted it factory installed.

Try giving them a call (650) 369-4000 and ask for Ernie (or email him tonight - eschmidt010@aol.com) - maybe, like someone else posted, you won't have to wait 3 months for your coupe!! Ernie is very professional and patient - even when, like me, you end up not buying the car from him! Can't say enough good things about him.

Hope this helps somebody out there...

 

Just FYI - the deal I had with them was for no markups - ie the $2500 wax package, etc (but they did have the mandatory "optional" Lojack which they refused to get rid of. - the price was $1K, but I believe it's negotiable.)

I'm sure if you called them this morning, the car still doesn't have any of that nonsense put on yet.

Good luck! I hope it works out for you Gixxer!

Yeah, I think it was some synthetic wax (probably nu-Finish) and then the package also included the interior treatment, which is probably scotchguard and leather protectant.

An obvious dealer markup, but since I had reserved the car before it came in, they didn't put it on the sticker. But, the SM claimed that "he has a contract with lojack" so he couldn't undo the lojack option. I did some research, looks like you can get lojack on your own for about $600, so there's another $400 dealer profit.

Also, any arguments for the lojack providing a discount on your insurance are minimal at best - my insurance carrier gives me a 25% discount on the comprehensive portion of the policy for the immobilizer alone, and with lojack about 30%. So a 5% savings, but since the comprehensive only costs me $65 per 6 months, another $2-4 cheaper didn't justify the cost of the lojack package.

 

It WAS MSRP, plus $1000. Talked to the sales guy who I was working with, and it's already been sold. There are plenty of auto coupes, though, so finding one you like shouldn't be difficult.

Good luck, and see you out there,

And so this is why I flew down to Riverside to pick up my car.
