at this point in time, would it be worth it to wait for the 08? or most likely get a better deal with the 07?

07 now = slim pickins but not totaly, easier to negotiate price

08 a month or two from now = minor upgrades, any color combos you want, may be hard to neg. price. better resale in a few years (but how much?).

any thoughts?

 

What changes will there be on the 2008's?

 

If you can find what you want in an 07 i would go that way and save a few grand.

 

New for 08:
- Revised Technology and Navigation Packages (I think the rear view cam is standard on Navi package)
- iPod Interface/Intergration (Like G37?)
- Driver’s Audio Stage (sound tweaks?)
- Standard XM Satellite Radio (no big deal)
- AWD (X versions) can be had in a Sport package.

 

I would only get an 07' if you're getting $500- $1,000 below invoice. If not, wait for the 08' for better resale value.

 

Lemodular,

I agree that if you can get an '07 for $500 - $1,000 below invoice, that might be worthwhile. However, one negative to buying a year-end (left-over) model is that when the 08's come out, your "brand new" 2007 G35 will be considered a year old. So the money you save up front may be more than offset with the depreciation for the first year. This is OK if you plan to keep the car for a long time. In this scenario, the depreciation is a non-issue.

However, if it were me, I would go with the '08. But that's because I typically don't keep my cars beyond 3 years.

Good luck in your search. Either way, you will be glad you got a G!

Regards,

 

awd sport would be sweet

 

If I could have waited, I would have gone the X Sport route...

 

me too

 

Something else to consider - perhaps most of the issues (TSB and non-TSB) that the 07's have will be fixed with the 08's?

 

That is true. But wouldn't the late production 2007 models have the TSB fixes as well?

 

For what it's worth, and I don't know if my dealership was blowing smoke or not but they said that the 08s won't be available until January or Feb. since the 07s were released so late. We had to drop off our trade in title to them the next day (Monday of this week) and they were just offloading a carrier truck full of nothing but 07 G35s'.

 

mosi,

that is BS. i just confirmed with 2 dealers in ATL, they are getting 08 sedans in october-november time frame. hope that helps.

 

I figured Jan was pushing it, but October/Nov isn't very good either considering they are getting the 08 coupe in right now.

It doesn't matter to me that we have an 07 because it's friggin sweet! Plus, we leased it so it doesn't really change the bottom line any. AND, we now have an 07 Xterra and an 07 G35... that's right double-07s uhhhh thankyouverymuch

3rd Xterra and second G35.. naah, we don't like Nissan
