Don't the Brembos come standard on the 6MT, and are an option on the 5AT?

I don't buy that. I don't know what the tax rate is where you live, but that is way (probably 3k at least) below invoice.

Atlantic Infiniti Lynbrook NY. 8.75% on the Tax.... Guys don't let them pull your leg about invoice and MSRP. VPP is also BS... I have bought many new cars in the past and have gone anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000 below MSRP. Everyone who knows me also takes me along when they buy a new car because of my bargaining techniques. I have read some threads here and got some giggles. They aint doing you a favor selling the car at MSRP or 2% above Invoice ... They are still making hidden money .... The rest of the world has to know this. We are putting food on the table for them & money in the pocket as well. Tell the salesmen to eat a burger instead of steak every night.
I was in there looking to get a 04 2 months ago ... I told him another dealer gave me that price on a loaded 04 out the door. He said he could do the same thing, and even do it on a 05. He said get the 05 it's the same money. As for going into the "back" more BS! The sales team knows just what they can sell the car for. They know how much money they could make on each sale. I know a manager from another dealer... and was givin the scoop years ago. The "back" (and I have seen it done) is to show you they are pushing for you, there on your side, and willing to do the best the "back" will let them. And the best they can do is what the "back" says is ok. There is a lot more about buying a car then... VPP, MSRP, Invoice, & Holdback. These are the things the dealer knows you know... or hopes you may not. But look into, Carry-Over Allowances, Dealer Incentives, Packs, Special Manufacturer's Financing and Rebates, just to name a few. Not all will work with Infiniti but the more you know the better you will do.

Funny Story: They told me it would of been better if I walked in with a loaded gun .. and stole the car at gun point. lol

Once bought a 1991 RS Conv't Camaro in late 1990 for 16,400 with/ stick, 17" wheels, leather, conv't, Prem. sound, body kit. .. And more ... The MSRP after all the extras was around 25,000 ... closed the deal for 8,600 below MSRP. And remember... back then this car was HOT! And out bought before the New Year rolled in.

TRUST ME guys... they will hold out and wait for another person less informed to make a sale and more money. Walk in know the deal ... know what you want without skipping a beat and lay the price you want to pay on him. Let him know you know all about the hidden money they make on each car. Get deals on paper from other dealers and ask them to beat it ... Go to 5 dealers if possible. Put $50.00 down for each paper drawn. Then go back and get your money back .. Tell them you got it for blah blah blah less!

Very good adive my friend...EVERYONE should know this because unfortunately since not EVERYONE does...those are the poeple who will readily buy it at whatever cost including MSRP...those are the people who ruin it for "bargainers" like yourself because the dealers right about now for the '05 6MT don't give a flying crap if you can't buy it at MSRP cause they know the next guy in line is willing to...

yepp, he's right.
My dealer didn't give a crap about doing too much better than what I got, and I got a better deal than 85% of people. All answers seem to go back to, I got another guy who'll pay MSRP. And you know what? he's right, but I will never pay anywhere near MSRP.
