Anyone want to make predictions on incentives come October 2009? I'm thinking we'll see $4000 Manufacturer incentives and/or extremely low APR financing towards the end of the year again.

Edmunds shows a $2000 Manufacturer to Dealer marketing support for the car which means that you should be able to get a G37 sedan $2000 below invoice right now. I'm sure this will sweeten up as we approach the launch date of the 2010 G37 Sedan.

Here are some current prices that require zero negotiation.

 

Am I correct to assume that the $2000 Manufacturer's to Dealer incentive cannot be combined with the 4.9 APR financing for 48 or 60 months?

 

That is correct. If you click on the link he provided, it will answer your question too.

Oh, I should also add that I got 5.2% financing through the Infiniti dealer (not through IFS), and got the discount.

 

Here's what Edmunds says:

Restrictions
$2000 Dealer cash may not be combined with 1.9% APR - 3.9 % APR and vehicle must be financed through the manufacturer's captive finance company.

Comments
Dealer participation may vary. Incentives and Rebates are provided subject to the terms of our Visitor Agreement.

Does that mean that you can't take advantage of the incentive if you are paying cash?

 

USAA has updated the price and it appears as if the selling price as dropped ~$1000 in the past month.

These are for your viewing pleasure.

 

Interesting. I've been using the same site too and for the car I'm looking at in my area, it's actually gone UP $300 in the last couple weeks!

Maybe they aren't hurting as much here? Not sure how much they take into account where you live...

 

Where you live definitely contributes significantly to the price.

It's based on individual dealers submitting bids to Zag.

 

the problem that will arise is what is available out there. remember they stopped dealers from building cars since last october 2008 for 5 months? we're having issues finding specific color and combo'ed cars now. so i dont see $4000 retail off -- maybe before the 2010 comes out but they're in decent shape at this rate.

 

The greatest problem of all is who is willing to buy a car in this economy?

That's the simple explanation of why we've been seeing huge price drops on luxury cars early in the 2009 model year.

 

i can't speak for other areas in the country but in Long Island and NY you NEED a car to get around and people are just payign cash, taking out home equity loans, and we have 700+ people coming off lease in the next 5 month period consistently.... a lot of them won't get a non-luxury car and will just stay w/ Infiniti

 

anyone got a link to site? i tried usaa.org but no luck lol

 

are you a member?

 

o thats why

 

I see what you're saying but I'm unsure if you're trying to convey a reason as to why prices will not continue to drop until next winter.

NY is where you least need a car in the entire country so I think if you need a car to get around NY and the NYC area, you definitely need a car in the other areas of the country.

It's make sense to stay with Infiniti. They offer great value for the price. There is no other manufacturer that makes a comparable car in the low $30s. Acura does but 1 of their cars is too ugly and the other is FWD. Lexus does, but all their IS350 come with options that push the price above $35k. BMW basically starts at high $30s for a stripper model.

However, all of this is pointless if supply continues to outpace demand.
