Stacey Lynn Childs 1970-2007... Love of my life, my best friend, Heaven's prettiest angel. I miss you so much.

I am looking to buy a 2007 G35 6MT Coupe at the dealership in Cincinnati. I was wondering if there was anything I should know as far as tips and tricks to get the price lowered. The dealer already told me that there was a price break on the car now since the G37's are coming out but he also said it will drop some more. There is also 1.9% financing. The problem is I don't want the car to sell before I get a chance to get my hands on it. The black/black one that was there last weekend is already gone, and there are a couple more there that I would like. Any ideas on how to reserve the car but still be able to negotiate a price? Let me know, also any other negotiations that you can think of would be great.

Thanks

Is this a asking too much?

I would like to get this completed before the 2.9/3.9 finacing is over (31 Nov).

Thanks!

retail for the 2008 G35X AWD with premium package would be $43,540.

Invoice according to carcost canada is $40,399, and there is a manufacturer's rebate of $3000. Nothing else listed I assume there is some holdback.

So far, I offered preliminary and agreed somewhat is $37,399 which is invoice minus rebate + 2%. $748. Then add on freight here which is expensive at 1650 and the premium package at invoice at 2,309.

Is anyone here familiar with canadian market and can venture a guess as to what the hold back could be and if I should even bother offering invoice. OF coz I have already started working on them and telling them the price isnt quite there etc, but I just wanted to opinions before I do some final negotiation.

If you are not comfortable with confronting dealers, use the internet. Look-up your local dealer's website and submit a quote request. Typically the fleet staff will respond and in my experience, they tend to be easier to work with. Get several quotes for the same car and use them against each other. Make them compete for your business. When you have the lowest price you think you can get and are happy with it, apply for a loan with your local bank or credit union. Maybe use a service like Lending Tree to get you several loan quotes. Then go in to the dealer and negotiate the financing terms. Having other quotes will let you know where you stand and if they can't beat the deal, you have a fall back plan if you are ok with the terms of the loans you were already approved for.

Lastly, before you do anything, write down your guidelines. What you want to pay and what you are willing to pay. If you can't get the deal you wrote down, walk away. And don't jump at it the moment they give it to you. Keep pushing. Perhaps even plan to walk away even if you get the price you want. They may drop a better deal on the table to keep you there. Ultimately, you can always go back and they will likely honor the last offer they gave you...
