I would recommend getting a price quote from one of the dealers on this site to bring to your dealer in Charlotte. Hope this is helpful.
For those interested in the my Charlotte area G35 saga

Since there are only two Infiniti dealers in the Charlotte area, I decided to take a ride to the one that I had a good feeling about and test drive the sport model. I decided against it because the ride and seats were a little stiff for me (not harsh by any means - just a little stiff), and decided to go with:
G35 (Lakeshore Slate)
Nav
Prem
Tech
Sport wheel pkg
trunk mat
cargo net
wheel locks.
I negotiated down to 37K which was a fair offer according to Edmunds (Acutally about $870 less than what others in the same area were paying). I could have probably gotten another $500 or so off, but it would have meant taking delivery of another quoted vehichle with a couple hundred miles on the car, or drive a couple hundred miles to get it, or pay for truck transport to me here in Charlotte (none of which really appealed to me). After I was done with the price negotiations, I wanted my payments to be a little lower than the 37K would allow, so the sales manager lowered the price to $36,420 which was my final price.
Overall, I was very impressed with the experience at the dealership, and was comfortable with what I paid.
If your are in the market in the Charlotte area, I would recommend Jeanette who was great to deal with and is willing to negotiate a fair price (maybe even better than my price). If anyone is interested in her contact info, just shoot me a PM.
Thanks!

Hope this helps... good luck!

Today I finally pulled the trigger on a 08 IP non-sport g35 with premium, splash guards, and cargo net. My company has a VPP w/ Nissan / Infinity so I did that deal. I had just over 2 months left on my 2005 IP G35, and was able to negotiate them into paying for my last 2 payments of that. I love the new car, kind of wanted sport, but I really hate buying tires, so does my wife. In the end it came within a few hundred within invoice.
My old one is sitting my my driveway, and it will be going away probably in the next week or so. The 05 was a great car, never had a single problem that required it to go back to the dealer. Hopefully the 08 will be just as good to me.
I definitely like the changes in the 07/08, love having an integrated IPOD. Yea the Bose stereo isn't the best stereo in the world, but it it 100% better than my non premium in the 05.
Hopefully she will be good to me and I'll have her for a long time, this time i bought her instead of leasing her.

What do you guys think of this deal I've been offered?
07 G35 Journey
Lakeshore slate exterior/Wheat interior
Loaded - Premium, Nav, Wood trim, etc...
Just under 2k miles
Price - $32,500
It's not my first choice in terms of color, but I think I can live with it if the deal is as good as I think it is. Just curious what you guys think?

Why can't I find a deal like this? $32,500+TTL is more than $2K below invoice for the same car in '08.
...and I like the LS, wheat, wood combo! Who cares if it's got 2K miles. You still get the new car waranty, right?

I don't think I'd take that deal. If it's $2000 below invoice as you say, and the Infiniti cash to dealers is $1,500 (someone will let us know if that is accurate at present), that means the dealer is selling you a one year old model car for $500 under invoice. Plus, the dealer writes off 2,000 miles at the IRS tax deduction rate of .505, a $1,000 write down.
I'd suggest settling about $1,000 lower if you like the car. If not, you can get a 2008 at invoice. Don't forget when it's time to sell, an 08 will likely be worth about $2,000 more than an 07.

The e-mail they sent me said that it was LAST NEW 2007, so I am guessing there is only a few to choose from. I think it's a pretty good price, but I would like to have the sport package instead of the wood trim.
