Anybody know what kind of deals can be had for the '06. I need to lower my payments, but I love my G. So I'm thinking about trading my '05 6MT fo an '06auto (to please the wife).

 

I think it really depends on what kind of 06 inventory your local dealer has. I found one local to me that had a lot full of them and they were dealing. I got more for my trade than I would have gotten for a private party value and they knocked 4500 off without any negotiation. I then asked for something unreasonable and worked it down to 6500 off.
If you can find a dealer that is still sitting on the 06s with the 07s having arrived at most dealers then they should be willing to work a pretty decent deal. My msrp was 36,XXX for an 06 auto with sport and premium b packages.

 

Yeah You can get great deals on 06 Sedans

 

I got an 06 5at with 11,800 mile for 24,980

 

got mine 2 weeks ago, $5000 off MSRP.

 

I bought a new 35x on Friday, 5800 off msrp and got the exact color scheme I desired. I could have saved 400-500 more at other dealers if I was more flexible on the color. I will put this car through the endurance testing as I do 45-50K per year. I just sold my 2000 with 292k on it. Seems like the G should outlive a Subaru!!!!!!!

 

wow. thats a good deal.

 

So I call the dealer today and tell them my situation. They want to offer $20,000 for my trade (WTF), and if I put a $1000 down on a '06 AT I can walk out the door with a $6xx 39 mo lease. What a joke. I guess Infiniti of Lisle want's to keep the 20 or so 2006's they have.

 

+1.^^ Thats for dam sure.!!

 

I checked on a 2006 tonight too, was thinking of trading the '04 to get rid of the braking issues. (I'll end up with Hawk HPS pads I guess)

Anyway, they knocked $4900 off the car I wanted. They only wanted to give me between $16 and $20K for my '04 with 20K miles. KBB says 21775 for excellent and 20610 for good trade ins.

The kicker is the current interest rate: 6.2% on sedans. This was the deal killer for me. I'll wait a few weeks to a month and check again.

Well I did it. You really have to beat the crap out of the sales guy though. I got an '06 DG lease with premium B and the sport package for $470/mo 42 months with $1500 down. Also they gave me $24,500 for my '05 6mt. All in all I think I did pretty well.

I looked at everything else, but I couldn't part with the G.

 

Mr. Big I am a little confused. So you received a lease deal for $470 a month with only $1500 down and they gave you $24,500 for your '05 6mt. So you have a new leased car and $24,000.00????????

 

Bought a black 06 AT with 3 miles on it for 26K about 1.5 months ago.
Edit: That's 6K off of MSRP.

 

I freaking hate their salesman. They are all slimebags. I bought my '03 there and they were such a pain in the *** to deal with, the service department is great but sales sucks.

What kinda mileage limits do you have on your new lease?

 

The most important things whether in buying or leasing are the price you paid and the interest rate if financed. The price should be related to the dealer invoice (his cost). For 2006, you should definitely pay below invoice. MSRP and particularly monthly payment are not as relevant as the above two. The old salesman's trick is to hook you with a monthly payment that you can afford. You should never lease more than 36 months. Leasing, in short, is simply you pay the depreciation of the car for the term of the lease, 24. 36 months, PLUS the interest on the depreciation. It's that simple!
