After two months of saving and endless changes of mind I have finally brought home my new baby:
If you read my G37 vs 335 comparison you could have probably seen this coming. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this car and really feel I have made the best decision for me. It may be slightly slower than the 3 but it makes up for it in value and content. Plus it just drives better than anything else in this segment (besides the Bimmer of course).
The deal itself was one of the more interesting ones I've ever made. There was no negotiation; John (my sales associate) just asked me up front what I wanted to pay for the car. I had worked up a sheet with invoice and options listed in preparation for a life and death struggle over price and this caught me totally off guard. Without even thinking I blurted out $40,500 and he said "deal!" This works out to about $2500 off MSRP and around $2k over invoice. Still it was at least $8k less than I could have gotten a comparable 335i for so I am happy (plus John and everybody else at Atlantic Infiniti were just top notch and treated me extremely well). Anyway, here are the details:
2008 Infiniti G37 Sport
6MT - Black Obsidian/Black leather
Invoice - 32688
Premium package - 2757

Illuminated kickplates - 268

Here's a very crappy interior pic (better pics on the way soon) with the lighted kickplates!
