Just left a deposit for a platinum graphite G37 sedan with sport/tech/navi/premium and aero package at $500 over invoice. If any factory to dealer incentives apply, this should be deducted from the sales price.

I insisted on a port-to-dealer car (no dealer swaps) with less than 30 miles on the odometer. It may take up to 90 days to deliver, according to the dealer.

Is this deal satisfactory, especially in this economic climate? Leasing (i.e. "renting" ) wasn't an issue, and I predict I'll keep the car long enough to disregard the massive 1-2 depreciation hit.

There was a new 08 FX45 that stickered for $56k going for $41k that was real tempting, but the G sedan's performance advantage was too much to ignore.

Congratulations on your order. $500 over invoice before dealer incentives (currently $1,000 marketing support or 3.9%/4.9% financing) is fair for a car that isn't sitting on the dealer lot. Obviously, the best deals are going to be on vehicles that have been sitting on the lot for a while as the dealer just wants to move them.

Should we start a 09 negotiated deals thread?

 

My thought is that you can do better than that. The economy blows. I felt this was a good deal back in October when I got mine, and I still wanted more off.

 

Yes! I'll be buying my G in March-April and I want to see what others are paying so I know where I should be when I negotiate mine!

 

yeah, the economy blows. I can see getting <$500+invoice on a G37 sitting on a dealer lot, but getting one factory ordered with tech and aero packages could be hit and miss. No dealer within 300 miles of me was willing to do better.

Didn't you lease?

 

Dean, where are you located?

 

It would have been $500 over invoice whether I bought or leased.

 

I have $300 over invoice right now on a 09 G37XS Moonlight White with Premium, Nav, and Sport. Car should be arriving first week of January. Had to be re-routed to the dealership I was dealing with.

0000A3, sounds like a good deal, especially for California. Maybe $500 over invoice is being to generous on my part!

 

Where are you in NC, which dealer? I have been talking to Infiniti of Charlotte about a similar deal.

 

$500 over invoice is decent, I usually get down to invoice, but considering the G37 is not out yet that is a great price. I woudl do same if I didn't have to worry about what my trade woudl be like ina few months. Have my car on Autotrader, had a few nibbles, but used market is as bad or worse than new market.

 

I've had a few guys PM me for stuff like 500 under invoice on a 09, and/or 0% financing for 72 months...

Any reasonable deal, I'd be more than happy to do.

I can also arrange for shipping around the country; feel free to call my cell guys for special pricing.

 

Hey Mike, buy back my car (only 2500 on the odo) and I'll set up a deal with you at $500 under invoice !!!

 

What is the problem with a dealer swap if everything else is what you wanted?

When I bought mine 5 years ago, I gave them my requirements, and my top 2 color choices, and they found it so I could get it in a week rather than months. And it had 7 miles on the odometer when I got it.

 

All I had to do was mention I was looking at a Lexus IS350 and my dealer bent over backwards to give me a good deal. They said they didn't want to lose an Infiniti driver to a Lexus. LOL
