I visited my local Infiniti dealer on Monday and found a 08 coupe I like. The $31K price tap is a bid high for a used 08 G coupe. However, the sales manager claimed this car worth every bid out of my money because:
1. it's lease car return (he said people lease car usually take better care of the car than actual car owners) :ohno:
2. it's a one owner car
3. they invested over $3000 into the car and what they did are (4 new tires, new in cabin air filter, wiper blades, air filter and other $190 cost service) :tisk:
4. he even said selling this 08 G Coupe at $31,000 to me, they will lose money :ohno:

After days of considering,I finally decided to pull the trigger this afternoon. I called the sales manager and made sure this car was still available. When I arrived Kuni Infiniti with my check book, me and the sales manager couldn't find the car. It was gone. After 20 minutes waiting, the sales manager told me the car was out as a loaner and it left Infiniti early today. It won't return to the dealership till tomorrow.

If it's common practice for Infiniti to use their certified pre-owned one owner car for loaner car, they have to inform buyers in advance. It's not fair for us, customers, who pay a premium to purchase these vehicles that looks good in paper(one owner) but driven or abused by countless unknown drivers.

Those items are not worth $3k

How much is a brand new one?

Get internet prices from a few dealers and then begin to negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.
Don't be in a rush to purchase

Good luck

$31k is way too much regardless of the mileage.....
$25K would be a good deal on it (assuming that it has at least Prem and miles < 20k)

I would tell that dealership they lost a customer and look elsewhere.

I guess it would be wise to look for another good deal since the car is possibly driven or abused by countless unknown drivers.
