Pretty much anyone looking for one with nav isn't going to get much off sticker if any at all. It's the nav that is in such short supply in socal. I called at least 5-6 dealers in last three weeks and no one had one and some said they were getting in one in February. Luckily, one of those happened to be at Mission Viejo. I dealt with Mike Platacis (based on acidrane's recommendation) and had a great experience. I changed my mind on the rosewood or else that would have been even rarer and less off sticker. I did get some off, but not like others who've gotten $1500 off but without the nav.

 

if your in so cal then check out southbay infiniti. i got mine the same day i went to test drive and they had 4 other nav cars in all colors. the hard thing to find were tech cars. only santa monica had one but they wanted 2500 over msrp!

 

Cerritos has a HUGE inventory - I read some bad things about them here, but my experience was great.

 

A huge inventory of what? All the dealers I visited had a huge inventory. But if you wanted Sat. or Rosewood, you were out of luck. Things may have changed by now, this was three weeks ago.

 

Hey guys - New to the forum as this is my first post, but wanted to chime in on the subject.

I picked up my G Saturday from Hoehn Infiniti in Carlsbad and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They gave me below MSRP and didn't try to kill me on my trade. Dee Ancrum is the internet sales manager and was a pleasure to work with. After the first dealership tried to stick it to me on the car I ordered, he had the car for me in less than two weeks (which was probally just lucky) and held it for me even though he didn't have a deposit from me or a deal worked out yet.

Hope it works out for you, regardless of what dealer you work with

 

Maybe that's why it's HUGE - a bunch of cars nobody wants. LOL.

 

Exactly. I saw dozens of G's sitting at Miller. But upon closer inspection and asking them, they were all just premiums with the tire package. Could gotten a great deal but I had to have nav.

 

I knew that I wanted the Journey sedan in Lakeshore Slate w/ wheat interior and sunroof so I set out to find the best price. I went on edmunds.com and asked for quotes. Well the day was frantic with emails and phone calls from dealers in So Cal. I used a 75 mile radius. After receiving quotes ranging from $1k to $3k above MSRP I called a few dealers who hadn't replied yet. (I needed to get a car ASAP as I was driving a rental after selling my Audi earlier in the week.) My last call was to Santa Monica and I didn't give him my best quote to beat. Well Dana called me back with a quote so low that I was able to get the premium pkg for less than any quote I had for the Journey w/out the premium pkg.

The car was detailed and had a full tank of gas when I arrived to pick it up. The funny thing is that the car came from another dealer (through the dealer trade system) who quoted me $2k more for that identical car!! Very happy with the deal.

I had some dealings with Dana as well. Decent guy
