The worst part of it all was the difficulty in selling it. Advertised for $17.5K which I thought was a fair price for a fully loaded, one owner, no-accident, maintenance records EX. After 2 months of good advertising, sold it for $14,5K. Not too many people out there want an EX. I loved it except for the limited legroom in the back. I am advertising a Curt tow hitch and a two-bike rack in the classifieds on this forum. Very cheap.
That's funny because I put mine up for sale at $23650, and had a buyer who was very interested but wanted me to sell it to a dealer who would then sell it back to him. I then raised the price while I waited for him and got THREE calls. Finally a lady drove 4 hours to buy the car at $23,400. $600 more than I paid last Summer.
Miss it already but I know I can get another privately and get a deal like I did. Dealers are not paying much for trades on them since new 13s are discounted $9000. Lexus doesn't have to do that kind of discounting. But that's good for those of us who like Infiniti. I am looking at an 11 G37 with Premium and NAV with 36K Asking $23000 Down from $24500 two weeks ago. If it hits $21K I am all over it..
