I got my '06 G35 sedan there in April and got a better price there than from any other Bay area dealer. I had no issues dealing with them and dealt directly with the manager for my purchase. I do agree though that the response you received was uacceptable.

Thank you for taking the time to e-mail me. Although painful for me to read both your comments and Ananth’s, I appreciate the input. I am appalled at what he wrote to you. I apologize. This is completely opposite of how we should treat our clients. His response was both unprofessional and unacceptable. He will be counseled.
If there is anything I can do please contact me. Again I thank you for providing me this feedback. As a manager I can not be everywhere at all times and your input will assist us in providing better service to our customers.

Awesome, as you mentioned you should use that as part of your leverage. Fact is these cars won't be going for MSRP from day 1.
I doubt it will amount to much in the way of "counselling", but at least it'll be mentioned. Using that kind of sarcastic tone with a potential client is ridiculous. Were it me I'd have written them off entirely.

Here's more information from the same GM for anyone wanting a test drive in the Bay Area:
Thank you for giving us a second chance. I would be happy to deal with you in the purchase of your new car. Just this afternoon I received the information on our initial allocation of 2007 Sedans. We also will have a display/demo model available no later than October the 23rd. I will let you know when the vehicle arrives and perhaps we can meet at that time and you can be one of the first to test drive the new 2007 G35 sedan

"The Infiniti Division posted a sales decline of 26.4 percent versus the prior year."

Nissan's U.S. sales are down 7 percent through August. Operating profits fell more than 25 percent in the most recent quarter.

Nissan now has the new Versa (which is doing very well), the new Altima and new Sentra coming in the next month or so. Their 4th quarter is expected to be very strong.

Update: So the GM wrote to me today and claims that this is their last "order bank" day where they can order/customize models for Nov. Whether this is true or not, she offered to take down my order without a deposit, then we'll discuss pricing later -- with no obligation to purchase when the car arrives. She either believes that I really do want to do business with her, or she's just bluffing. I think it's the former, but can you ever really trust salespeople, especially someone whom you've never dealt with?
Either way, I've ordered a Lakeshore Slate 6MT with Premium, Nav, splash guards, and cargo net. We'll see what happens!

2007 G35 Sedans
Guys,
Infiniti of Fairfield may be the only dealer to admit that we will sell for less than MSRP. I'm not saying that 2007's will be sold at invoice, but we will definately not be holding our customer's feet to the fire with MSRP or over MSRP that some of the Bay Area dealers are pulling.
Please PM me if your interested in any new or pre-owned Infiniti or Volvo. We also offer very aggressive pricing on aftermarket and OEM Infiniti parts.
Furthermore, we will be hosting a G/Z meet at our dealership in the coming weeks.
