new guy here

Hey guys I am proud to be the owner of a new 05 G35 sedan 6MT. Just traded my 04 Titan this morning. Paid $31,200, it has premium package, aero package, sunroof. Did I get ripped off? Hope not. Oh I don't even remember the name of the color, but it's the same color as my 02 maxima which is called sterling mist

I have no idea how your trade worked out, but that is $700 below invoice which is a great deal considering the car is a 05 manual. Good job if you were not raped on your trade.

Post some pics.

Darn didn't mean to deceive anyone. I just re-read my post and it's a 04 not a 05 G35. Sorry guys.

Paid close to that for my 05 5AT Sedan. Just has Premium C though.

My dealer had zero 04s on the lot...

Whether you got a good deal is for you to decide. Can't imagine the dealer being very nice to you on the trade though - how'd you do?

Personally I would have thrown a few extra $ to get the 05, but that's me.

Enjoy the new ride and welcome here!

Still sounds like a decent deal on an 04. I just paid 34750 for a Diamond Graphite/graphite 05 X with Premium, splash guards, and trunk mat. I think I did ok. So far the car is awesome.

That's a good deal. 04's are now being sold at invoice, while the 05's (especially the 6mt) are being sold at around $1000 over invoice. I've been in sales for over 10 years and know how to play the "game," but after nearly 2 hours of negotiations I couldn't get Infiniti below $33,100 for my 05. I went back the next day and pulled the salesman aside and asked him if he's sold an 05 at invoice and he said NO WAY.

When you think about it, the difference between an 04 and 05 is right about $1-2K dollars with depreciation. You did very well, but like other people have said, forget about it now. We all go through that queezy feeling for a few days after a new car purchase, but once you drive it for a week or so you'll be pleased.

Thanks, no queezy feeling here. It's just that I didn't get a chance to do my homework b4 buying. I just went in to replace the brakes on my Titan for the second time(8K miles on truck) and happen to be walking around the parking lot looking around, when I stumbled upon this beauty. As soon as I saw the 6Spd, I knew I wasn't going to take my truck back home. I love this car, just can't wait for it to be broken in so I can drive it hard.Only 150 miles on the clock

I too just purchased a G 2 weeks ago. It is an 04 X IVory Pearl on Black. Premium Package. Only 7000 miles on it. I am really excited about it. I just need to hook up with the G-Squad for some tips.

LOL
I took my wife with me just so she could see it in person....winded up taking a test drive and then driving it home an hour later.

Nothing like a 35K impulse buy!!! There goes the mortgage!
