You are right, I forgot to add that, Billy is great at working with you if you want to do Mods, and he can get a lot of stuff for really good prices. He also has some good connections with some tuning shops in town as well.

So, Grubbs had it delivered right to your house? They don't have to ship it to the dealer? How much to ship it?
I would definately rather buy locally, I just won't pay that price when I can go out of state and get one a lot cheaper. That's good to hear that they ranked so high in service. They were real nice to me. I look really young so usually they don't come out and talk because they don't think I'm serious or have money or whatever, but they came right out to help me. That's major points in my book. I'll definately try and get them to deal or match the best offer before I finalize an out of state purchase.

Hey Ed, my dealer was Todd, great guy and no BS. Owns a G himself. Go talk to him if you want too. I liked him the best out of the ones there, I went by a few times to get a feel for all the dealers before I picked one to buy from.
I considered Grubbs before I bought mine too, but I thought it was worth paying a little higher price for the great in house service.

Ed, I had the Tint & Trim factory (Jefferson just east of I-25) put a 3M clear bra on my G35C after I bought the car. I was told that they install the clear bras for Garcia. They did the bumper and mirror backs for $300.

You'll have to contact Grubbs about the shipping cost. One caveat. Once you buy the car from Grubbs, it's all yours. No pre-inspection. Which means its yours as it travels on a big truck across Texas to your home. So if anything happens (rock chip, dirty interior, whatever), it's then between you and the trucking company. Infiniti, Grubbs or corporate, is out of the picture.
I've talked to Todd at Garcia Infiniti and he would also be the one I'd recommend. You'll be in excellent hands.

If you buy the car from Garcia have them throw the 3M clear bra in with the purchase price, I got them to do it, saved a few hundred bucks. Like I said, this is what makes getting the car from Garcia a decent option compared to the price you might be paying.

That said, you probably won't get much in the way of discounts, especially on an '06. Personally, I got my G35 from Grubbs as they are a big supporter of the magazine. The buying process was simple, super quick, and the car showed up at my door a few weeks later. Great deal, too.
Garcia, on the other hand, has been ranked among the top Infiniti dealers in the US for service, and I imagine they give preferred treatment to all their buyers (which could be especially important to those who decide to modify their cars). Even the dealer himself, Carlos, warms up once you get to know him.
Either way you win. I'd definitely recommend Grubbs if your local dealer was a pain in the rear, but that's not the case with Garcia. Who knows: mention that some editor in chief dude from Sport Z Magazine sent you and you might even score a small discount (seriously, do it)... See you all in the waiting room. I'm the guy thumbing through a stack of car magazines.

Thanks guys. Yeah, that is a big thing to consider. We'll see. I still have at least a couple months before I can buy so maybe they'll be more willing to deal a little since it'll be closer to the end of the year. I would most definately rather buy local too.

Sorry to go off topic, but since Albuquerque has the floor here, I just wanted to mention that Garcia Infiniti has rented the Sandia Motor Speedway from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 24, for a day at the track for Gs and Zs. Call the dealer for more info, 505-217-3000, and ask for Billy.

We have been cofirmend for November delivery for '06 coupes (AT and 6MT). We sold the first two this weekend. The release is a lot earlier than last year because most dealers are running really low right now. I wiggle a little on the coupes, but we only earn about 5 a month and most of them are sold before they get here. At the end of the day, you are not going to pay more here than anywhere else. But, like Tom and Dave said, we are here to back you up if there is a problem with the car. We also get your license plate right away and you don't have to deal with shipping and miles on the car. I take every coupe I can get...you never know what the production schedule is going to be like.

The guys at Garcia irritate the **** out of me, but it could just be me.
I'm not a fan of the way it takes me 20 minutes before anyone offers me any help, and how poor the attitude of a certain service member was when dealing with an issue that I had with the car's warranty. I don't think that it would be easy to get anything fixed under warranty here, without a lot of hassle.
