Should I buy this 2005 Black Infiniti G35 Coupe from an Infiniti Dealership? It has 51K miles on it, but comes with a 2 year bumper-to-bumper warranty. The seller is willing to sell for $19,850 which to me is still kind of high. I was thinking about buying it and then purchasing a set of 19" G35 wheels off eBay to put on it.

What do you guys think?

 

Does anyone pay list price?

Knock a few thousand off of that and it could be a decent deal.

 

I agree. It was originally priced at $20,871 but didn't sell. I offered 18K for it but the salesman wouldn't even relay the offer to his manager saying it was too low. I came back 30 days later (after the price was lowered to 19,966) and offered 19 flat. He said the lowest he could go was 19,850

 

Hey man I live in AZ and my wife just bought me an 06 black g35 coupe fully loaded for 18,400 with 40k miles so keep at it he should lower the price

 

That's a sick deal! Congrats on the new car. Did she buy from an Infiniti Dealership? Or from a small dealership or private seller?

 

Yeah you can definitely go lower on that especially since it's 5AT.. I got my 06 6MT fully loaded @ 15k miles for $22k flat..

 

She got it at a small dealership in Mesa it is a welcome home gift for me. I come home from Afghanistan in 2 weeks I cant wait to drive it !

 

That's awesome. Can you specify whether you bought it from an Infiniti Dealership, small no-name dealership, or private seller? I understand I can get a better deal from a private seller, but I'd rather go through a dealership so I can trade-in my car

 

That is a beautiful coupe, also consider that the warranty is worth a lot when buying a used car of any make. I say, "Go for it" if they'll go for $18,4....

I offered 19 flat and the salesman wouldn't even go that low. He offered $19,850 and I declined.

Thinking about contacting the Internet sales manager.

 

I got mine through a private seller. I was looking at 2006's only and it was kind of a pain because the closest Infiniti dealer to me is about 100 miles away and there isn't a market for them here... So I had to find a car that I was pretty sure I was going to pick up on my first shot down. No dealers I found had a car newer than 30,000 miles, and most were around 40,000 miles for an average of $23,000. I could probably have talked down the price, but I saw the one I bought in an ad and became immediately interested because it had so low miles on it and it was a great price.

IMO, I think it's justified to pay a little extra knowing the car has been babied and taken very good care of. He has a couple other high-end cars all in excellent condition, and the G35 was obviously no exception... He didn't drive it too often because he claimed his Bimmers were a lot more fun so he decided to just get rid of it because it was taking up space (I wish I knew the feeling of waking up one day and just deciding to sell a nice car because I have too many other ones...). Besides, this one is still covered with plenty of warranty and there's no way I'm gonna put 50k miles on it by the time the powertrain warranty expires so I figured I was pretty much in the clear.

So to sum it up I don't know if I'd pay more than $19,000 for your car, but I guess I'm a little biased because I got mine for such a great deal.. I would look around some and see what else is out there before dropping the hammer on this. If the dealer is being that stubborn about it, think about how stubborn they're going to be when it comes to doing warranty work on your car.. If they can't even work with you to get you to buy their car, getting them to anything else will be a chore.

 

That 2 year bumper to bumper warranty is nothing to scoff at. Considering that the car being an 05, and the original warranty is 4 years, its out of its warranty period. You have to remember that the manufacturer partly base their calculation of warranty lengths on a cost level, a pessimistic interpretation of this is that this is when the real problems start showing up.

Having said that, I don't think this is a very high maintenance cost car but I'll leave those whom have a 03, 04 and 05 comment.

Is this a 3rd party warranty or an Infiniti warranty? I've never dealt with a 3rd party warranty so I can't comment.

When I purchased, I chose between an 05 (whose warranty expires now) and an 06 (whose warranty expires a year from now), and that extra year of worry free driving was one of the reasons I went with an 06.

My 2c.

 

Thats the exact same car im going to buy when i can find it except w/ a 6MT. Its also around the price im willing to pay except i'm trying to find a private seller to avoid dealership fees. But I guess around 19k could be fair, depending on how valuable you feel the 2yr warranty is.
