Opinions: good deal? 07 G35x
not really...
The only way to get the best possible deal on a new car is if you sell your car privately, secure your own financing, and work on the price. NO dealership wants people to pay cash. there is no incentive to the dealer. Only the "holdback" that is supplied to them from the manufacturer. and if the car has been on the lot for months, then that eats on to their holdback.
Used, you just need to be informed on what you are buying... If you fall for the spew at at traditional dealership, like "oh, it has a clean carfax, no accidents or what ever yeah, it may happen, but who is gonna sell something at a great price. Their intention is to make money. Even if it is certified, it still could have been in an accident. something minor, or something major, but if the car shows clean enough to the dealers liking, they are going to tell you what you want to hear... Be realistic... People dont give a good deal for no reason. Dealers are designed to make money. Through shoddy extended warranties, paint protectors, tire warranties, rust proofing, etc. The biggest gain in a dealership is through Financing.... They are going to pamper your approval and add points. Well what if you get 0%... well it doesnt exist. Nothing is for free....
It is proven that a loan of 1.9% is a cheaper monthly than at 0%...
Think about that before I give you the answer

@hotdawwgman: You are hilarious. To say that there is no such thing as a "good deal" is laughable at best. Especially when buying private party.
My seller was/is a CIO at a large, well-known aerospace engineering firm. You really think that he would go to the trouble of fraudulently selling his (according to you, supposedly problematic or wrecked) car? He would've filed an insurance claim and not given it a second thought.
All service documented at his old Infiniti dealer where it was purchased, clean carfax, mechanically sound. As I mentioned, it had some noticeable cosmetic wear and tear, he was simply WAY too busy of a person to be concerned enough to get scratches buffed or interior items replaced out of warranty.
He just wanted to unload it because his old state had no taxes on personal prop. and his new state does, and it was his 3rd car. I think his Mercedes SUV was his newer daily driver.

0 is more then 1.9 how would u callculate that? I worked for a dealer some time ago and you are right from the start to signing paperwork dealers are designed to take all of your money from a trade in to financing APR to warranty.. But there are still good deals out there if u know what are you doing.

Just offering my opinion... I personally am wondering why they have had the car since september? Usually these cars sell very rapidly but then again there may a legitimate reason. Is this a small dealership? and I personally don't think you can get it for that low because that's probably what the guy paid for at auction, but hey if your buddy say he can then get it checkd out and pull the trigger if it is in good shape because that would be a steel. I recently wen to an auction and saw a silver base g35 sedan with 70ish on it and it went for 15,500. Gotta logoff , but definitely be cautious because of the whole length of time that the car has been on their lot.
you have been proven wrong by millions of people who have gotten good deals on vehicles..
God you have some issues
sorry guys..but if you don't pay over 20K for a G35...you got a lemon...you have to overpay
some people amaze me

You must have felt your panels and found paint work! It's ok. Your car probably isn't the only one...
Keep trying to reach though..it's funny to see you think you are right
again sorry you overpaid...next time wait to buy until you find a deal..you will learn..just takes time

LOLOL
I don't care what he does....he's trying to sit there saying there is no such thing as a deal..on anything..let alone a car
Very laughable
Like i said..i got a great deal on my car...no accidents and thats not basing it off of the carfax which anyone with half a brain knows you can't believe that at all. My car has been on a lift more times than i would have liked and i have looked it over 10+ hours myself since i got it a year ago. Engine blew but even if i paid 21K for it..it would have blow regardless as nothing could have stopped it

I never said there was no such thing as a deal, but when it comes to cars, it's a crap shoot. Take it as it is. I am not attacking you Steve, it's just what I see on a consistent daily basis.
