They offered me $3000 less for my trade and wanted $500 more than other dealers for the G, and when I walked away they offered to give me $200 more for the trade! WTF?? Anyway, I stay away from SM Infiniti for my service now, even though it is by far the closest dealership to me.
You have to understand SM Infiniti's clientelle--BH and West LA. They don't need to bargain with you poor folk because there is some lamer willing to pay what they ask for.
When I was shopping for a G35 (went to Miller Infiniti and got the first 06 they had) I also tried shopping for a BMW 3 or 5. Beverly Hills BMW doesn't even bother with dealing with you because they will find someone who will pay for what they have.

What poor folk ?
Not wanting a really high monthly payment doesn't mean I am poor or anyone else on this forum is. It might just be easier for them to sell it to someone who is willing to pay a higher payment or just pay for all of it.
Anyone driving or even looking to buy a G might not be the richest person but WERE not poor.
Santa Monica Infiniti sucks period. I was there for maybe 20 minutes doing my paperwork. Then drove back to Vegas. But after returning and having MANY problems with registration and a few other things. They still aren't willing to help. Everyone i have talked to there sounds so uneducated its ridiculous.

^^^ ive had the WORST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE at santa monica. i had a grinding tranny that they replaced. 2k miles later, doing it again. i went back and they tried to blame my suspension and exhaust for it. i didnt take that crap from them. THEN i went on a test drive with their great service manager, RON REED, who blatantly to my face said he didnt hear any grinding, when it for sure was grinding. as you would understand, i have a short fuse, so lets say im not welcome back there anymore. they actually said if i come back they would call the cops lol. i kinda did blow up, but what they did was unacceptable. the service consultant actually said to me, nice haircut kid in a sarcastic way and made childish faces too me b/c i couldnt get a transmission fixed/replaced. thats pure quality service IMO.
lets just say i told him off b4 i left that day

Mission Viejo suckered me into driving 4 hours to their dealership, only to have the car I was going to put a deposit on miraculously disappear.
I ended up going to Glendale Infiniti. Back then, they weren't willing to budge on the price. On top of that, I later realized that the rear bumper had been repainted, probably due to damage from backing up into something.
A few lessons learned: I'm not going to drive clear across one end of LA to the other end of OC anymore, and next time I'm buying my car in the daytime.
I currently go to Cerritos Infiniti for service, just because they're so close. They're not perfect (made a nice sized gash on my door sill), but they seem to be trying.

It's funny how everyone here hates SM Infiniti. Right they have quoted me the best price on a 06 G35 coupe ($300 below invoice) compared to most of the other OC and LA dealerships. I'm dealing with the Internest sales manager named Bryan. He's been pretty good with communicating with me and his lease numbers match up exactly to mine. So far they seem to be the best to deal with right now. Mission Viejo is quoting me like $700 over invoice and Tustin will only do invoice. I'm thinking of doing the lease through SM since they have been very good with price and communication compared to the other dealers.
