I know the crew at IOS very well, I'd be glad to help if you need some assistance working a long-distance deal.
I think a better idea would be to get your best local deal, and then see if they can beat up on it as a show of "good faith" to the board they sponsor.
Certainly might be worth the try.
I was at Midway Infiniti in Phoenix Wednesday, looking at their stock while I was having my new 9011 high-powered high beam bulbs installed in my '05 Q45. They had several that had MSRP around 32 to 34k. One was a very nice white G35 "Journey" for MSRP a little over 32k. I suspect that a little good bargaining would get it for under 30k. Of course, "doc fees", license, and sales tax would jack it back up some. License fees here in AZ are very high, so maybe your State has lower ones that would make a difference, and sales tax might be different too.
Bottom line is that you shouldn't have much trouble buying a very nice 2007 G35 for under 30k if you shop around and are proficient in the new car buying process. I've driven a new '07 G35 loaner, and I can tell you it's a great car. I hope you can find the right deal on one.
FWIW, as the G35 has such a great reputation, used ones are overpriced. Buying a new one is the only way to go, IMHO.
Good luck.
