My order did not require military service - Grubbs' offer does. My wife's order is for a Laser Red 05 CPE 6MT with everything...

 

sounds like you got a good deal.

There are two particluar things grubbs is doing for me that I am thankful for. The satellite radio does not go on the roof of the car, but yet has a smaller anetnna near the trunk (kinda out of site) with the same great reception.

Two, they are clearbra-ing the car for me for 675, and that does the complete front with mirrors.

 

That's where I got my '04.5 last year. They were very fair with pricing once I made clear my intentions. Great sales experience there.

 

I made up for the delivery on the price of the car. I came out well compared to many up here. Unbelievably, people are buying at MSRP.

 

I went through Grubbs after my dealer in Virginia Beach couldn't get me what I wanted. Grubbs has a deal with FreshAlloy.com where you pay $100 to join the club and buy into the dealer Fleet sales program. It would take about 90 days from the order date. You also get propiorty on the car when you order it from thedealership as your car is directly shipped from the port to your dealer instead of it waiting in a port with all the other cars forever to be dispersed by the regional sales people. I was quoted about $300 over invoice and the delivery from Texas to Virginia was $750 with an extra $100 if I wanted it Wrapped in celophane.
I ended up finding a Base Black 05 sedan 6MT with Black interior and added XM on Friday Night at Infiniti of Charlotte and Becki was the sales woman. She was probably the best salesperson I ever spoke to and she had it delivered to my door by Monday afternoon for $350 by an older retired couple so I knew the car wasn't ragged. They gave me $500 off the MSRP. It is such a hot ticket item and so hard to find I was willing to pay. I wasn't willing to dicker too far because the other option was to wait 90-100 days. I wasn't willing. If anyone needs good service and personal attention, call Becki at Infiniti of Charlotte and tell her Jim from Norfolk sent you!!

 

I know one thing for sure, I have not seen a single athens blue car here in VA yet. I know they are out there in few quantities though since I have seen some on the lot, but they ALL had light interiors.
