New to this Forum, great info so far.I purchased this from a Nissan dealer in suburban Philadelphia. Clean Car Fax one - owner. Silver w/ Black interior, tinted windows. I like the Nav and the blue tooth for the cell phone. XM Sattelite radio is activated and gets best of Sirius which is excellent!He tried selling me a Nissan extended warrenty, I am still considering, it will cover the car until 100k for $3,000. is this worth it?What is the factory warranty on this car? Only had one inteligent key, no wallet or valet key. What would be the most economical way to fill the void here?The car doesn't have a rear spoiler, anyone have advice here?After maket chrome packages, any good or do they just pit really fast? For what I have seen they seem to be stick on.

I appreciate everybody's tip and advice as this is my first Infiniti.

Thanks!

WE NEED PICS!!!! i always love to see new pics of rides!

i think that's a fairly decent price. it certainly wouldnt hurt had you gotten the extended warranty. is yours a sport or non-sport?

Contact Courtney at Scottsdale Infinity for one of the best prices on an extended warranty. [email protected]

Lip spoiler, eBay has been a good source for many buyers (search the forum)

Not sure about "chrome packages". I think the M has enough of it to start so if you are talking about the moldings, somebody will have to steer you in the right direction there.

Welcome to the family!

The main component of the Sport package is the rear active steer (RAS) I don't believe you can get RAS with AWD. Also the reclining rear seats in the Premium package are also incompatible with RAS.

Heres the link to the car he is talking about:

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...47889

--- I am not going to elebrate on the car, but i do have some experience with the dealership. My brother bought his '02 Nissan maxima there (Used, with <20k miles.) After the sale, we found out our car had been hit and the rear bumper was replaced. Colonial nissan sales rep never told us this info (I don't know if he even knew..).

Any how on another occasion we went to shop for a Pathfinder for my dad, when we went to and was looking through the vehicles, they wouldn't even come and ask us, if we need help or anything. Our money definitely wasn't spent there.

Overall, we don't buy cars from colonial nissan, we only service our cars there as we know the service manager and never had to problem. My bro even brings his g35 there. Just my .02 C from my experience. Other than that, they don't try to sneak in little surcharges like many other dealerships do.

Angry dogYou are correct this is the car. In regards to if the car was ever in the accident, I had my freind who owns a body shop check it out and it had a clean Car -Fax. But they were sleezy by lowering the online price after the sale when they did not have the car anymore to drive inquiries.It is good to know that they have good service there. I actually live closer to Willow Grove Infiniti, do you have any experience with them. I would have purchased there but they would not drop there price enough.Thanks!

yeah, my brother took the g35 to willow grove infiniti for 2 years, but this last time he had to change his brakes he went to colonial due to lower prices and less of a drive.

Overall my brother said willow grove was good and he always got a rental car and the service there was nice too. He has the g35 coupe so he has to change to snow tires when winter comes, after they switched tires they actually packaged the summer ones up for him so the raw summer tires won't dirt up his car on the way back. It's the little details that count.

From the sales perceptive, when we were shopping for the g35, willow didn't have any fully loaded ones on the lot but they still insisted he take the drive so he knows how the G feels while them fully knowing my brother wasn't going to buy from them.

So yeah it was a win win for both service and sales there, but this is just one opinion from hundreds of people who use willow grove infiniti.

My brother said, his definitely going to get the audi s5 through willow grove audi (right next door). I say wait around if you get the price you want, ofcourse the infiniti dealer will always be asking much more than a nissan dealer will be (from my experience).

Since you in the area DO NOT GO TO EXTON NISSAN! ; From my experience, the drive out there is not worth it, their sales do not treat their customers right and prices they ask are just crazy. When we were going for the G (Lol again, SIDE NOTE: we were looking for a fully loaded g35 coupe 6 speed manual, and not a lot of local dealerships didn't have it), we went to exton they were asking 31.5k for a used 2005 G with a CRACKED front bumper.. Well we got a fully loaded 2005 G for 28K with less miles. It wasn't prices that pissed us off, it was the red-neck sales guy at exton.

Since you are in the market here are a few more tips on dealerships;INFINITI OF ARDMORE: They said our trade-in IS300 had been re-painted when he appraised the car which obviously it wasn't. Also they wanted 29k for a 2003 6-speed g35 with like 40k miles.

Where we did hit jackpot was at piazza acura (or ardmore acura), they had the car prepped and was parked out front when we came in. Actually when we arrived and before we even talked about prices a senior citizen couple also asked about the g35 (We had a appointment, they were walk-in) but the sales guy actually said it was unavailable. Now that's good service in my opinion. Any more questions, just ask away.

Mine's 2k6 Silver M35x with navigation and rear camera and I added aero kit, M45 Sport 19's on but the car I paid $28k with 17300 miles on the car the car was extremely clean it still had the brand new car smell to it. I see that u live in Jenkintown PA I'm from Cheltenham PA.. we could probably meet up or something.

I did check in with Car Vision quite when I was on my M35x hunt. It is true that they have excellent prices just didn't have what I wanted at the time. I almost got a BMW 530I from them last year but the Car fax revealed an accident and heavy service.

yeap, car vision has great prices but they told me those prices are not negotiable. I mean, the price is great but you can always get it for a grand less at a dealer opposed to what car vision asks.

EDIT : Singh Auto World has good prices. My friend bought a 06 altima from them and he said the service was good. I just checked for you, they only had g35's on stock. Look, they have 06 g35 with 41k miles for $18.5; that's not a bad price.

Also, another tip I had to say was to check individual dealer websites for a m35 because they don't always post it on cars.com or autotrader.

Yet another thing, use carfax to search for cars, like not a lot of people know about this;

You can view the carfax too.

I've been doing my research on this car for about two month and than I made the move...the Infiniti dealers were the worst especially the Infiniti of Willow Grove, I know the guy from Carvision told me he's not going to negotiate on the prices but I bought the car at the right timing. I know the prices at Carvision now is not even close to when I bought mine back in November last year. Paid $28k pretty much fully loaded except the dvd in the center console @17k miles on the car and 100k or 10 year warrenty which is honored by any infiniti dealers was a real good deal.
