M45 wheels. maybe loosing M45

[ali]

Hey guys,

Unfortunately my lease is coming to an end and no one at infiniti is willing to negotiate the buy out price. I spoke to managers, supervisors, and dealerships. Nothing I can do to negotiate the price. So my plan is to look for another black on black m45 on the market before my lease is up on jan 2. But I have a couple of questions.

First, if I cant find another m45, does anybody want to buy my wheels. There DCR 3 piece wheels, 20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rear. Chrome lip, brushed center and chrome inner (very unique). I just bought them about 2-3 months ago. I have falken 245/35 front and 265/30 rear. Tires and rims are in perfect condition (except for small curb rash. See pic). Retail from http://www.ExtremeLuxuries.com is $3960 for the brushed finish. Tires were another $800 or so. Honestly they are in brand new condition and that’s because they basically are brand new. Is there anyone that’s wants to buy them? Please email with a reasonable offer?

Second I have smoked tail lights. Does anybody want to trade them for their stock tail lights?

I know this post may categorize and a classified, but please keep this here if you can.

Ps-man this sucks. I really love my car.

What was your buyout on the lease?

$20K

Hello,20,000 seems pretty reasonable for your car. Assuming it is a 12,000 mile a year lease, your mileage should be relatively low. Now if you do not have the nav/tech package, maybe get another. If you get an 04, the CD changer will be in the dash where your tape deck currently resides which is sweet.Good Luck,M.L

Being the first owner is one reason I may keep the car. The only thing stopping me is that market value is around $15K. In california wholesale auctions the same car with under 50K miles is going for $15K-$16K. So i hate over paying.

Since you already have the car, know its history and care, etc., a difference in price may be an acceptable trade-off. Yes, the $20k does seems like a lot of money and it seems like the dealer is not being reasonable perhaps.

Get your facts and data together (other price quotations, ads in places, etc.), make an appointment with the owner (or General Manager if you cannot get the owner) of the dealership, show him/her your facts, be convincing about your desire to own the car forever at the right price, and see what happens. If you get within a few k$ (like $17k or something), that difference may be worth it.

Good luck!
