I second the recommendation to try Joe at Scottsdale Infiniti. Once you try him, you'll never look at the local Infiniti dealership the same way.
Joe has the business sense to win my loyalty, even from a few states away.
For example, I just ordered a front engine slinger which neither Joe nor the dealer dealer had in stock. The local Infiniti dealership quoted over twenty bucks plus sales tax for a total of about 22 dollars. Joe shipped it to me, with 8 dollars DHL shipping tacked on, for about sixteen total. Saving about 5 dollars out of around twenty is approximately a 25% preservation of wealth on this transaction. It adds up. To just have that five extra dollars in my pocket, I'd have to earn roughly 15 dollars gross (pre income tax).
Technically, the out-of-state transaction sales tax (it's actually called a "use tax" when it's paid after the fact) is supposed to be listed on your state taxes (come April 15th, 2005) if you permanently reside in any of the 21 states shown in the photo below; so, the additional savings DAEDALUS bespoke of may or may not apply to you.
