Out of state, california would be your best bet, email or call a few sales managers and tell them you'd buy one from them, they'll give you a better price than anyone in Seattle for sure, definately worth a flight there and drive back or ship

I test drove them about a month ago but the price they quoted were too high ...

39Months Lease 4500 down 570/month with TAX on a Journey with Nav and Tires ...

I don't know what sells a lot X or Sport ?

I'm buying from Infiniti of Kirkland. They're selling at MSRP.

I tried going thru Costco, and just ended up talking to the internet guy there, and got the same story - MSRP.

Then I gave these guys a call: http://www.acnw.com/

One of their reps called around for me, and found a "below retail" deal in California, but the shipping to bring it up here would pretty much cancel out the discount.

He also said that they're going at MSRP in Cali too, and the only reason he was able to get some $'s knocked off was because of his "fleet" contacts.

If you price it out at carsdirect.com, and do the TMV at edmunds.com, they both come out matching MSRP too.

So, I guess I'm happy not to be paying a dealer markup.

I had also visited the Kirkland as well as the Tacoma dealers last month. The Kirkland dealer offered $250 below MSRP and made such a big deal about it

I used vstrizheus' suggestion(Thanks!) and ended up contacting a dealer in California who offered me $750 over invoice with no BS. I am picking up my Blue Slate Sport 6MT next week when I hopefully get some time!

If you are interested, PM for the dealer.

Good call Sansri! I was offered the same thing but they didn't have the IP/Graphite I wanted... so I went with Kenny who DID have what I wanted and hooked me up too :-D

Tinting?

BTW, know of any good tint shop in this area? I may have to get the car tinted - Goofy's tint looks good

Why not sell your car Private Party and buy one out of state? The local dealers won't really negotiate...

Just bought a G35x from Infiniti of Tacoma at Fife through the Costco program... We've looked around and MSRP will be about the best you do unless you're willing to do an endless amount of bickering. $250 under, I say jump on it. This area has bad for some time any type of car at retail (see "market adjustment" and other crap they tack onto the sticker), and the new G sedans are near the top of the most-wanted list.
