I think you guys might be getting a little picky, splitting hairs over whether your car has 13 miles or 20 miles on it when you pick it up. When I picked up mine, it had 13 miles on it. Did you know that if your car has navigation, you can actually track where the car has been?

Infiniti has this slick tracking feature on the navi system that traces everywhere the car has been for the last 60 miles. It's found in the info menu on the navi system. So you can see everywhere the car has been, but of course you can't tell how it was being driven while it was out. When I picked my car up, it showed that it had been driven locally for about two miles by the mechanic who prepped it and to a gas station. The rest of the mileage (not shown on the tracking system) came from factory test drives, transportation onto the ship, off of the ship and onto trains and car transports. So I'm pretty sure I was the first person not associated with the dealership who drove the car.

Just a little trick you can use if the car has navi on it. You can see if the car was driven on a test drive loop, or you can see if someone took it on a road trip. Now you know!

 

Thats a cool feature. But those mechanics and porters are probably not babying the car either.


I just was at Infiniti of Hoffman Estates (chicago suburb) for service and they do not have any G37 Sedans in stock either.

 

Why would they beat on the car or race it? They have access to the entire lot of new cars as well as used cars.

Not to mention, the speed junky techs usually have much faster cars than what they work on...

 

They did last weekend when I was there

 

All the dealers around here have 09's in their inventorys when you look at their web sites. An average 5-9 09 G37 sedans. I'm in Rhode Island and I've looked on the 6 closest dealerships pages. I have yet to find one set up the way I want. AWD, sport, Blue slate, graphite interior, wood trim, Navigation, premium, spoiler, and splash guards.

 

How do you get to that info in the nav, I was at Roswell today drivng a LP Journey Prem Nav Sport with 125 miles on it and was curious where it was driven.

I don't think I'm being picky. I put like 5 miles on the car, barely enough time for it to fully warm up. They have had the car for liek 2 months so all those short bursty drives really not ideal way to break the motor in.

 

I can say without a doubt Infiniti lost me as a customer. I just sold my 2004 G35 last week, and I am looking for a new car. I would of liked to have gone with a 2009 G37 (sedan), but only with the 6MT. There are obviously none around, so I am going with another car (likely a 335i). Sorry Infiniti, you missed the boat. This will be my first non-Nissan in 10 years.

 

I'm sure your sales dude could have shown you how to track the car, but here is how you do it:

Hit the SETTING button on the right side of the click wheel.
Scroll down to NAVIGATION and hit enter.
Scroll down to screen #7, TRACKING DISPLAY SETTINGS and hit enter.
Light up the button on CURRENT TRACKING.
Hit the MAP button on the left side of the click wheel. You should now be able to see everywhere the car has been for the last 60 miles.

I still think that you are being picky about the mileage on the car. I reported on this car's arrival at Roswell Infiniti in on Nov. 19th in this forum. It had 15 miles on it. You commented on my posting saying that was the car for you, but you didn't want the sport package. Two months later, the car has 125 miles on it, which is probably 10-15 test drives (my test drive there was 12 miles, in a G35). So you didn't want the sport and you knew that, but you went and drove the car anyway, putting mileage on what someday will be somebody else's car. So what you are saying is that it's OK for you to drive as many G37's as you want to thrash (how many have you driven?) before you buy one, yet you should be able to walk into a dealer and find one sitting on the lot equipped just the way you want that has never been driven.

It all smacks of hypocrisy, but that's just my opinion. I'm sure it will be argued in coming posts.

 

The dude at Reswell, (their Sales Person of 2008) didn't even know you could do that! Very amazing how deep or actually how not deep the average sales person goes with the product they sell.
