Hello everyone,

Just purchased a new 2016 Q50 AWD Premium last night. Black/Black

Sticker price for the car was ~43K and I got them to lower the car to 35K before taxes and fees.

Hoping to learn some good things on this forums. Cheers :cheers:

Welcome to NICO!! Nice deal on the car, 35k is a pretty nice deal on the new model.. Hopefully they didnt nickel and dime you to death on stupid fees (VIN etching and other stupid crap). I recently bought a new car (non nissan/infiniti) and I felt like I got taken to the cleaners on random fees, still got a good price but wasn't as good as it originally looked.

That's definitely one heck of a car for that kind of money. Interested to see how people like the 3.0T compared to the older N/A version.

They got me on the normal fees such as delivery and processing fee. 900 and 595. But other than that it was just tax and tags. I spent 4-5 hours going back and forth. Definitely was draining.

As far as the N/A models, I have driven the G37 sedan and a Q50S 3.7 and I would take this version over both of them. Especially for daily driving, this car is much more fun to drive. I don't plan on tracking this car so my expectation for handling is not like my old S2K or the power to be as much as my old STi. Overall, I enjoy the car because its a good blend of everything: appearance, power, handling and luxury.

I'd definitely recommend everyone test driving one.

Welcome to NICO! Glad to have you aboard!

I think you're the first person I've talked to here that's gotten the 300hp version of the 3.0T. I imagine the torque is just awesome compared to the 3.7. Does yours have the Sport+ mode?

Yea... I'm starting to think I should've coughed up up some more $$$ and got the 400HP. But the deal I got was way too good, at least that I know of.

and unfortunately my model does not come with the sport+ mode. I was pretty disappointed in that. I'm assuming its only for the "S" models.
