Hey, I am looking for advice on a bid a dealer gave me... is this a good deal?

2008 G35 Journey
Premium
Navigation
Splash guards

Out the door price is $34,300 + $0 doc fee + tags + title + taxes.

 

That seems pretty good. I just got a quote for the following:
2008 g35 Journey (blue slate/graphite)
Premium
Nav
Splash Guards
Cargo Net

for 34109 + 499 doc + tax&tag. Hoping to either negotiate a reduced doc fee or a few additional accessories/maintenance items.

Nice, looks like we're in the same ballpark. Let me know if you get them to go any lower.

Where are you located? I'm in Maryland.

 

Atlanta. Good Luck!

 

I just got another bid (from a different dealer) for the same configuration for:

$33,900 + $0 doc fee + tags + title + taxes.

 

Wow thats a great deal!

I got mine back in september for $34 o.t.d. and its only the journey package with splash guards, wheels locks, and a trunk net.

 

Does that $34,000 include taxes/title/tags? If so it might not be as far off as it appears.

 

yea it does.

 

Is this a good deal - 08 g35x fully loaded for 38,800 before tax? Its the dark blue slate and the grey leather...I probably should have shopped at other dealers but it was the only one in town and I needed a car haha

 

nopes sorry its not... I got mine minus the tech for 36,600 including wheel locks and no fees.. (no taxes out of state) so tech is only worth like 1K more or less.. look at edmunds to see what the invoice on tech is...and I am already paying $250 over invoice... I assume you are financing or something because most of you people do, and if so you should be able to get your car definitely below or at invoice.. ESP since you are in the CA area. cars there go cheap cheap....

AGAIN... to everyone always base you decisions on the cars TOTAL invoice price including all options and dest.. and you should NEVER pay more than around a couple hundred OVER invoice.. including all fees...only thing on top of that should be taxes. If you lease finance you should be able to get AT or less than invoice.

Some people even get maintenance and such thrown in.

 

otd 39k. g35, prem, sport, navi some other misc.

I got the vehicle from Gunn Infiniti in San Antonio. The vehicle has 72 miles on it, was produced in 11/07, and arrived at the dealership 12/19/2007.

I live in Houston, but the dealers there would not budge in price from over $1000 over invoice. The best out-the-door price I got from my local dealer on this vehicle options was $36,200 , over $1600 more than the deal I got!! I approached them telling them I would buy from San Antonio unless they at least came close, and they said that they could not go any lower no matter what, since all dealers in Houston have a "New Car Pact" that says they will not sell below a certain amount. I am no lawyer, but that sounds like collusion to me!

That's all right -- it's just a $120 one way flight to San Antonio, and now I get to drive the car over 200 miles back to Houston

By the way, I also had a pretty good offer from Dallas of $620 over invoice, but the San Antonio deal can't be beat. Gunn's pricing practice is very interesting -- they have fixed prices on all of their cars based on how long they have been on the lot. Newer cars are not such a great deal ($1000 to $1500 over invoice), but it seems they price some of their older ones very aggressively -- near invoice or even below. If you get lucky and find your options/color combo in stock and around for a while, then you can get a GREAT deal! They apparently update their prices weekly, I think Thursday nights, so keep checking back with them. Last week this vehicle was priced at $33,900 ($1116 above invoice), but for some reason on Thursday night they dropped it to $32,631. Perfect for me, since I was wanting to buy this weekend and this was the exact color combo and options I wanted.

I did not buy any of the dealer accessories, but will be getting tint and a clear bra installed next week from a local shop.

Thank you to all who post on this forum -- this forum has really helped me in deciding what I wanted and getting a good deal!

 

I was offered
$450 a month
24months
12k a year
TOTAL out of pocket $1500
MSRP 40375
invoice 37000

And they will make my last payment of $450 for my 06 coupe.

What do you think about this deal?

 

Just got a G35 Journey with Premium, Sport, Trunk Mat, Splash Guards, Cargo Net at Invoice minus 500 rebate with 2.9% apr for 63 months. Shook hands with Fleet manager in the 1st minute after seeing the car on the lot after I gave him my offer. Painless. Althought getting thru the paper works took much longer. This was the easiest car purchase by far.
