the navi in the 08 is severely outdated by google maps navigation on any smart phone so I wouldnt even bother if you have a nice phone, just get a phone stand for your dash.. if only there was a way to pair google maps to the car through your phone..


that will be the next big thing, mark my words...

 

Hmm really? Well to be honest, the nav system is really not that important to me. It would be nice, and the touch screen and back up cam are cool, but it's not a deal breaker.

I haven't read or seen much about the nav system, but interesting to hear that it is out dated.

 

I used my smartphone for my old Mustang. They didn't have Navi in 1969. I still like hearing the chick talking to me.. guiding me.. charming me.. arousing me.. on my BOSE! Plus I love to watch it automatically pop up and down.. I just wish it made a cool sound.

 

When I found out u have to buy an update cd every few years, I decided against nav. I used a car mount and hardwired it for my droid x and google navigator is so much better

 

I agree, for those options, mileage, and excellent condition, you won't be getting it for under $25k. I looked at 08 TL's and 08 G35x's for six months before I made my purchase and I never found an X with those options even close to $25k. And no worries about the in service date, mine was made in April and not driven until September so my warranty will last until September of 2012!

 

Ok cool.. Thanks a lot for responding.. I sure as hell hope I'm driving a new car soon!

 

you can add a backup cam for under $100 with guide lines, look in the thread on here you just need to buy the chrome trunk piece and a camera and wire it yourself as a weekend project.

Touch screen isnt that big of a deal, I care more about the ipod connectivity I got with the premium package, so you can have a backup cam: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...a-install.html

and use a smart phone for nav that never needs to be updated and show's traffic for free. Save yourself a grand right there

 

As have I, but are they anywhere close to the OP? When I bought my car, I had seen cheaper prices online, but they were half-way across the country and not always from the most reputable-appearing dealers.

 

I don't know, but here is my experience:

I purchased a 2007 G35x in May 2009 with Premium, Nav, Tech and Wood packages, with 21,300 miles for $28,300. Total OTD was 30,200. This was at Ramsey Infiniti in NJ. It was actually a really good deal since Tech packages are very rare to find (only 2 in NJ at the time.) The dealer even agreed to repaint my entire bumper because it had very small scratches (probably from a shopping cart.) When I picked the car up, it was pristine; no scratches, no scuff marks; nothing at all! I was pleased with the deal I got. The Carfax I was provided reported no accidents, and everything was good (1 previous owner who had the car on a 1 year lease.) It took me 2 months to search for this car. The other cars I've found had cigarette smoke smell and I couldn't stand it.

You're going for a 2008 G35x sedan without Nav, without Wood, without Tech for $28,400. This car is already 3 years old compared to my purchase when it was only barely 2 years old with lower miles.

I don't think it's a good deal. You can get a lot better deals for less. I think the 2008 G35x's near me are going for only $24,000 at my local dealer.

In my experience, you are definitely overpaying. The dealer is ripping you off. I suggest you wait. You can get a 2009 G37x for the same price with premium packages ($28,400 OTD now if you know how to negotiate.)

Check, the 2009 G37's are listed for $27,995. You can haggle that down a lot, because I know this dealer likes to overcharge for their used vehicles.

They're selling a 2009 G37x for $26,885. I don't know if it has the premium package, but it does have the sunroof. It only has 19.5k miles.

 

I bought my '08 G35 Journey with premium package in January '09 for $24,900 out the door including all taxes and title. It had 22k miles.

I love reading these posts because it tells me I've actually made money on my car

 

That's an excellent price! I needed an All Wheel Drive model with all the bells and whistles =)

Was it involved in an accident? I've seen prices that low at the dealership when I was shopping, but Carfax reported major accidents on those.

 

I had the same experience. Hopefully you just got a really good deal, but I'd be a little suspicious.
