Getting an 09 G37 Coupe??????????

[ArEs23x]

What up chumps

So it has finally come to a time where I decided I might need a lil upgrade from my G35. I just can't decide between the G37 Coupe or the Lexus IS350. Anyways I needed a lil guidance, i checked the car buying thread but no one goes in there haha

So i want to get the car, my lease is over in April, but I have 2500 left in my contract in which I will no make based on my driving. I still owe about 20300 left in the car. I just found out I get a sweet discount working at my bank, so I could get an auto loan at 0.50%. So I will most likely be interesting in getting the car in the next month, need a lil advice. My game plan is to make the dealer pay off my remaining lease or no dice. I tried researching the factory invoice and everything, but couldnt find it online. So i am trying to get educated here, i figured wait til next month because those would be the better deals right? Any guidance or tips....

What .. why not the Sedan? Just kidding. Go for it. I am nort sure about the $$$ since Canuckland is a little different. Nice upgrade and the .5% is something you can't go wrong with.

Wait till Telco chime in and tells you how good of a deal you can get on Dec/31.

Sorry sir but the Infiniti sedan no longer suits me, no offense to the ones that do have the sedan, but over the years ive become a coupe guy. Today I test drove both the Lexus IS 350 and the G37s Journey. I can honestly say I fell in love with the 350 more, it was smoother, roomier, and better interior. Exactly, I think the .5% is flippin sweet, I love my new job that much more now. So you guys think I should wait til Dec 31st, I wanted to wait til the beginning of the year, but i wasnt sure. I might even go this weekend, but I am leaning more towards the 350, then again its a toss up depending the hookup I receive.

I think he meant the G37 sedan.

You're debating between a G37 coupe and an IS350 sedan? And you said the IS is roomier? I find that odd. The IS is very.... cozy. . . ?Anyway, that .5% sounds awesome. Especially for a 7 year loan or something. I dunno. I think the IS is hideous. Its too anime-cyber-frog like to me. I think out of the 2010 class of japanese lux cars of the G, IS, and TL, the G is by FAR the better looking one. And we're just awesome here.

If I am in the market for car.. the only Lexus I would consider getting is the IS-F... I actually do love the Lexus and Acura interior. I am a techie. Sitting in the Acura felt like home.

I have owned Lexus cars and suv's since 1995 and can tell you neither the IS or GS would ever give you the thrilling ride of the G37. I recently sold my GS430 and loved the soft ride and interior but it lacked spirit. BTW, IS350 does not have the 330 hp either so for my money I went with the G as my best choice.As for the sedan and coupe, that's a personal preference matter so choose the one you like; you won't go wrong with either.I waited patiently for the G37 sedan to come out this year since I have a need for a sedan.Here's some food for thought:

Not sure if I'm reading you right here, but just to clarify: the $1000 is now available for purchases as well, not just leases (as of last week). That makes the available cash on sedans a total of $3500, since of course dealers are passing all of it to the customer right now.

This is what made it possible (along with some crazy aggressive negotiating by my wife) for me to get my '09 G37 Sedan Journey + Premium package for an even $30,000 (which is a cool $4300 back from invoice; not sure where they got the extra $800).

I think the coupes might be getting even more than that...

Oh hell yes, I wish I could get the IS-F but I love my left testicle too much and I would love to keep it lol. I do respect all your opinions and advice. Honestly, both cars are damn sexy, after test driving the g37, I did love the sound of a bigger engine, but, it wasnt as smooth as I thought it would be. Well so much for the $2500 because I would go through my bank for the financing. I am just waiting for the pre-approval for the loan. Once that gets started, I will do more research. I was surprised with the 350's minor changes which for the most part was better. I will have my father take care of all the talking and negotiating even though he will have nothing to do with the final purchase of he car, but the man is a genius ha ha.

So heres a question, wait till the end of the month, or the beginning of next month when the dealers are dead because everyone is broke from the holidays? I would assume at least, can't wait for either car

Don't know much about leasing, have been told never to do one.So, what is the reasoning for leasing??Ability to drive a car that cost more than what you can afford to buy???Don't want the hassle of selling it???To get a 'new' car every 4 years???

David, just curious, not trying to be a smart a$$. Perhaps it's somethign I should consider since we do trade every 4 to 5 years.

If it's a payment deal.$527 will BUY you

$23,111 car @ 4.5% for 48 months$28,268 car @ 4.5% for 60 months$33,199 car @ 4.5% for 72 months

$25,040 car @ .5% for 48 months$31,222 car @ .5% for 60 months$37,373 car @ .5% for 72 months

Went to carsdirect.com and that has a MSRP of 45K

Also, my credit union has some pretty quick calculatorshttp://www.truliantfcu.org/pag...ators

Also, when I go shopping for cars, I normally get pre-approved thru my credit union for a certain rate for a certain number of months up to a certain limit.

So, I find out what it cost to finance $1000 for those terms. Then, I take the negotiated price divide by 1000 and multiply by my number......

example:approved for up to $35,000 at 4.5% for 72 months.Go to the calculator above at the credit union, plug in 1000 at 4.5% for 72 months and get $15.87 per month. So, I now know the car will cost me $15.87 per month per $1000

So, I find a car that's going to cost me $32,000 out the door....

($32,000 / 1000) * $15.87 = $507.84

Sometimes I take my computer that has a spreadsheet that does all of the calculations of the deal. That way, I can see how putting more down will effect the monthly payment.If you decide to buy and need a spreadsheet, let me know.

Well to tell you the truth I don't mind leasing, I guess just because it is cheaper for the meantime. That is truly it, everyone has their opinions between purchase/lease and I respect your opinion because your right. After the 4yrs is over, my plan is to purchase the vehicle and keep it, that is the plan at least. My car is currently worth about 15k and I owe 20k, I rather not keep it really.

[SVTCOBRA]

Most of the members here will sacrifice something for a little more car!!! Me included!!!! To most of us here, a car is much more than a means of getting from point A to point B.As long as your 401K doesn't suffer....right Telcoman??

[Poyzinous]

a car is definitely more than point to point transport. Its an investment, its a toy, its a weekend joy. Its a parter, a friend, a safehaven and a big heaping pile of metal rubber glass plastic awesome.

What about the CTS-V or the M3?? I've been looking at those for the next car...
