My wife needed a new car and after seeing the G37 at the auto show in Houston, she looked up at me (from inside the car) and said, "This fits me."
Well, I waited a couple months and she REALLY needs a new car. 2001 Accord with 90K+ miles. I have a Mercedes E500. So, no wiggle room here.
We drove one last month at Southwest Infiniti and she liked it. Got the word from my accountant that I'd survive tax season. So....

Now, I wasn't looking for the "Best" deal, just a reasonable one. The car lists for 45,545. I called and spoke with the salesman we met at the car show in Jan and test drove last month (Feb). He said they were offering $1100 off list. I said I thought they should make some money and I did not want to haggle. I offered $43,000. We drove out and purchased it.
I think it's a nice car. I'm past the point for a G37, I'm more a S600 kinda guy. Still, she likes it and that's what's important.
Hope eveyone gets the deal they are looking for. I know I left at least $850 on the table, but I enjoyed the quick, non-adversarial purchase.
Enjoy reading the forum and keeping up with G37 news.
