Soon to be....

a gunmetal G35c 6spd owner

Is $31k a reasonable price for one?
specs:
-gunmetal
-6 spd
-navigation
-2003
-black interior
-20,000 miles

I have to find out if they have brembo brakes, spoiler, and a stainless steal center console because I want it like that


but so far as I stated is this a reasonable price for one?

-Eric

Is this a 2004 or 2005?

If it is a 2004 then the car will have Brembo Brakes and will have a aluminum colored center console.

If it is a 2005 then the car will not have Brembo Brakes and the center console will be real aluminum versus the painted aluminum in the 2004.

If it is a 6MT it will have the Brembos and Silver center console area!

As far as cost goes, hmmmm seems a tad high but I am not too sure. Sounds more like a price from a dealer as opposed to a private seller.

I don't think the 2003 comes with a steel console... With the navi its reasonable I suppose assuming everything else is in perfect condition. I would probably try to get it between 29-30k. I would only pay ~31k for it at a good infiniti dealer. For carmax its reasonable, but you could get it cheaper. Used G35 navi's are a pain in the *** to get.

They are always a little high; sometimes they have some deals, but you always pay for the luxury of not haggling. They are a great marker however for pricing used cars. IE always pay less than carmax.

I never understood advertising "no haggle" pricing. What's the benefit of that? It seems stupid to me. Why would I want to buy a car where the price is HIGH and set in stone, when I could very easily go anywhere else and get a better deal? Is it just for lazy, timid people or what?

A thought.

On my recent purchase, I spent many internet hours going around and around with dealers trying to move the sales price $500 - $1000 dollars one way (for me) or the other (for the dealer). Then I saw a 'no hassle' ad for Gunn Infiniti.

The wanted about $800 more for the car I was looking for than any other dealer. The difference was they offered fair-market value on my trade, not trade-value. In the end, I got $2500 - $3000 more for my trade at the no-haggle dealer than I was offered at any of the 'fight-for-your-price' dealers.

I paid more for the car, but got much more for my trade. Do the math and I came out way ahead. It isn't about the selling price, it's about the bottom line. In my case the bottom line was much better at the 'no-haggle' than anywhere else. Odd, but true.

I would have sold the vehicle outright, but circumstances prohibited that. It's a long story. For me, it was better this way. I've owned 20+ cars in my lifetime and have done it both ways - each time I pushed the bottom line, not the sale price.

STOP!

You can join the Florida G35 Club (since you're a Florida Resident) and buy a BRAND NEW 2005 G35 for $500 over invoice.

PM me for more details (or just check out the Florida G35 Club Forum and sift through the sticky threads).

You may end up owing me an O'Doul's.

Depends on the options you want. Go to edmunds.com and pull the dealer invoice. If you insist on the Navi you're looking at $35,xxx plus the $500 over invoice, tax not included..
