I'm getting a quote from a dealer that sounds high and wanted some other opinions.

I was shopping for a G sedan a month ago when I heard the rumors of the G37 sedan coming so I decided to wait for details. Since I'm looking at a 6MT, the new AT doesn't make a big difference. I'd like the addditional 28 HP, but I callled the dealer to see what the deals were on the '08.

He quoted me the following on a 6MT with premium and Nav:
MSRP $38.8
Price $36.2 with 0.9% financing.

Edmunds shows the invoice at $35K or so. From what I see these cars are going for invoice or lower even. The dealer is telling me that without the low rate finincing I could buy it for $34K cash.

Edmunds TMV is $34K and the dealer is telling me that this is the price for cash, but the way Edmunds makes it look I should be able to get it for $34K plus the low rate financing.

Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions

 

i would suggest to look else where. you can easy get the car for invoice if not lower with teh .9 rate. if it comes down to it and dont tell them you want to finance and when they ask how you want to play keep saying "lets talk about the price of the car, does it matter if i pay cash or finanace." they will look at you funny but then they know you are in control.

 

I think the current offers are $3000 rebate for cash purchase or 0.9% financing. I don't know how available the 6mts are but with the autos you are able to get around invoice and 0.9% or $3000 under invoice when paying cash.

Hope that helps

As stated, it is the 'one of the other' variety of incentive.

If you are planning on putting a significant down payment, the $3000 is a better deal. If putting less, or no down payment, the .9% is better.

Have the dealer calculate both for you, and compare the finance charges.

 

I have to disagree here. I'm in the market myself now and have been for about 6 weeks. I'm not sure where you guys are getting these cars AT INVOICE or BELOW BEFORE the Dealer Cash or 0.9 financing. What I'm seeing here in South Texas is that dealers are pricing the car about 1500 below invoice INCLUDING the $3K dealer cash thus pocketing over $2K including the holdback PER car. If you choose the 0.9%, you're still paying about $1500 over invoice so nowhere even close to what some of you are saying. Just tell me where you're getting cars at invoice or below BEFORE the $3K dealer cash because I'll buy it out of state if that's the case...that's a HUGE difference in price.

 

I bought my car in Norcal and I have about 5 dealers within 30 miles of me so that is very good for buyers. I basically just called around asking who would beat whose price and at the end went to the one that gave me the lowest price, which was about 400 under invoice. It was pretty hard to find the color combo plus packages I wanted but if I was willing to take one off their lot, it would've been even cheaper.

For Journey Premium Nav I am getting quotes of Invoice $35K from numerous dealers, then you can do 0.9% for up to 60 months OR $3000 cash off.

 

I just picked up my G35x (prem/nav/wood) this week for $152 over invoice BEFORE $1000 loyalty cash and got the 0.9% financing. MSRP is $40,680. Invoice is $37,153. Got it for $37,305 before tax and title. So, if you include the $1000 loyalty cash (which has since expired) I got it for $848 under invoice.

 

Check more dealers - the Houston dealers seem to band together and keep to higher prices. I checked Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and finally bought at Grubbs in Dallas.

 

I got my 08 xS with nav and prem, for below invoice.. I leased but I negotiated the price of the car first of course... That was in jersey by the way... texas seems like a crappy market or just a bunch of rip off dealers... I have over 5 dealers in a 35 mile radius so that does always help

 

Thats what I am seeing here in Cincinnati, where we onlly have 1 Infiniti dealer. Next closest is about 100 miles away. I'm being quoted $1K over invoice with 0.9% or $34K with the cash back. Invoice is around $35K.

With that pricing I'll probably hold off...in no hurry. That way I can see if the '09s get some incentives after the new year. Additionally, I'm curious about the new TL Type S so could wait for that.

 

I wish i could have waited until this time so i could get my car for 3K under invoice, which would be worth it since i put about 12K down.

But i did pay invoice and got it for invoice.

 

0.9% is great b/c on average you're only paying under $1000 for interest, and more money goes to mods. It's common sense to take advantage of that unless you have the cash to buy outright

 

It still makes sense to use the 0.9% financing even if you DO have the cash available to buy the car outright. Because you can earn more interest on that cash in a high interest savings account than you will pay in interest on the financing. The only reason to not do the financing in that scenario is because you just don't want to owe "the man" anything.

 

To all of those with a crystal ball...do you forsee the 3K incentive on the 08 models being extended past Sep. 30?
