wait 'til you get an insurance quote.

 

Thanks for the tip. I used edmunds and got flooded with calls and emails. I am at after looking over the emails and responding to a couple I am at 500 over invoice for sport/prem/tech/nav. I think that is pretty good for that combo. I could get closer to invoice if it was a more basic car (at least that is what they said). So thanks again I might be picking it up tomorrow.

 

how bad is the insurance? arm & leg?

 

All depends on your age and driver history. My G and 05 MDX for $488 over 6 months, with Travelers.

 

i mean, it should be comparable to a lexus IS or ES eh?

 

When you guys say x amount over invoice, is this the amount with or without the options?

I'm looking in buying a Journey with the Navi and Premium Package. Edmunds is telling me 36,199 with the options I want, is this the price I should try to negotiate?

What the heck is travelers? If I can get insurance for less than 1,000 per year, that would be great.(22 yrs, no bad driving record)

 

1. With
2. If you can, yes.
3. An insurance company.

 

G35S 6MT - Blue Slate - Graphite - Premium Pack

All negotiating done over email and phone. I was offered $500 over invoice, told him I wanted $100 over invoice, and that's what I got.

This car is a steal imo, for $32,5XX

Then when I was with the finance dude, that tries to get you to buy all the other crap, so they can actually make some money off you, I made another deal. I think it's a pretty good deal. He wanted to sell me the 3 year extended bumper to bumper warranty for $1200, it's normally over $2000. I told him no. Then he says he will throw in free window tinting, for the rear windows only. (Which I knew I was going to do anyway.) I told him it's a deal if he tints all the windows and he drops the price to $1000. He says he can't go that low. I say, fine then no deal. He just sits there for a while thinking, so I stay quiet. He then says he can't drop the price to $1000, but he will lower my loan rate from 6.35% to 5.99%. I agree to this.

Summary: For $1200 I get: 3 year extended bumper to bumper warranty, all windows tinted, and a 0.36% lower rate.

All said, I am a happy camper. This car sure beats my 2000 Sentra I have been driving.

 

how long did the negotiation take from 500 over to 100 over? a few minutes?

The summer buying seasons is approaching, so I think many dealers are getting fat incentives. Just look at all the 1.9% and 0.9% financing for other car brands.....

I think it will be easy to get invoice price on the G35 from now till the end of the year. Maybe even a few hundred below invoice.

 

It took about a 2 minute long phone conversation.

The hardest part of the whole deal was finding the right 6MT. I really wanted Blue Slate, and did not necessarily want to pay for Nav. For a while there I thought I was going to have to do a factory order, but they were able to find the one I wanted in the area.

 

Well, I can finally add my .02$ to this thread, after significant lurking I finally went and beat up the dealer. They originally offered me $1000 off for a 6mt sport with premium and nav. I told them I wouldnt pay more than $35k plus ttl. I actually felt sorry for my sales guy, cause i kept sending him back to his sales manager with the same $35k number. I ended getting up to walk out when he went from $36k to $35.9K, told him his sales manager was d!cking me around and I didn't appreciate my time being wasted. Before I hit the door he gave me the $35k. Might not be the best deal, but its harder than hell to find 6mt with nav up here in western NY so I went with a realistc number.

Only thing is that they need to have one redirected from another dealers allotment and this is where my question comes in. How long should I give them before I start bothering the heck of of them?

 

Hello Everyone. My first post here. I use the same handle on all my car boards, so if you're from the MINI, Porsche, Subaru, Z-28... and the list goes on, world at some point, the name may be familiar.

I just pulled the trigger on a LP over Graphite G35S/A5 with every option except the 4 wheel active steer, $37,866 out the door. Fresh off the truck with the plastic still on it, so it will only have the prep miles when I pick it up.

I'll be around here for a couple years, see you on the road.

37866 plus TTL?

 

No. $37866 out the door. Period.

 

that is farkin insane. that's like 3-4% below invoice on a 40k car with prem,nav,tech.

$1200 below invoice. WTF?
