Find Infiniti Dealers in Silver Spring, Maryland

Made the following deal today via internet/phone with JBA Infiniti, Ellicott City, MD, outside of Baltimore. 2008 G35x, Premium, Sport, Splash Guards, and Cargo Net MSRP $38625 (pre-MSRP increase). I am assuming that invoice price is $250 less than current amount due to Pre increase car, so I have figured invoice to be about $35,142. I ignored their first internet quote because it came in really low, with note that it was plus tax and processing, so I thought they were game players. I'm glad I followed up, because once I established that I was educated on leasing in general and the programs on this car, they were very straight forward. For whatever reason they apply the rebate to the money due at drive-off, which cost me a little in sales tax, but I am pleased with the deal, so I didn't complain. So the numbers (39 month/15k): Selling price (including $100 processing fee, not incl. rebate) $35078 Selling Price including $595 Acq. fee $35,673 Residual (59%) $22,670.75 Money Factor (after max 9 MSD : .00182 - .0009) .00092 (2.21%) Base Monthly Payment $387.07 PA 9% lease tax $34.84 Total Monthly payment $421.91 Due at signing: 9 (Refundable) Multiple Security Deposits (@$450 each) $4050 First Month Payment $421.91 License Fees (MD Temp tag, PA title fees, license, etc) $246.50 Subtotal $4718.41 Less: Rebate ($500) Total Due $4218.41 The one way rental car is in the driveway (I live about 200 miles from dealership; closest is 115 miles away in Pittsburgh where there is no competition and no deals to be had - I tried). I'm picking up tomorrow, so I will post if there are any last minute surprises. I appreciate the risk associated with the MSD program, but it lowers my payment $56 pre month, or about $2200 across the course of the lease. This is about a 16% return, according to my calculations (Save $656 per year for tying up $4050). I think this is worth the risk - I live in a rural area where car theft is not a huge issue, and hopefully I can avoid a severe accident that would total the car. Thank you to everyone for the helpful posts, especially to Dennis and the wealth of knowledge he shares. I loved the car when I drove it, and I'm sure it will be a good ride. I settled on red because I thought it was pretty sharp, particularly with the sport package (which adds a lot to the appearance of the car, in my opinion.), although red does not appear to be a very popular color, by the number on the lots of the various dealers Again, so long as there are no last minute surprises, I highly endorse JBA Infiniti. We were dealing on a silver car on their lot, and when I said I preferred red, they agreed to go about 120 miles to get the car I wanted based on the same numbers. Although I have been asking many questions to clarify/check their numbers, they have been very patient. Good luck to others in their deals. It appears the DC/Baltimore market is very competitive on price. Brian

My guess is that it will take more than a few weeks for prices to start dropping below MSRP. Also, while I haven't had a chance to drive one yet, real engine output is supposed to be considerably more than an 8 hp increase. There are new hp measurement standards for '07. Also, if one is comparing G35x to G35x, the 298 hp was only available on the sport version in '06, so the real power advantage should be even greater. Others may know the details better.

I bought an FX 35 with Tech, Touring, XM Radio,cargo protector, splash guards, in silver for $39,612 plus tax and tags (incl. $325 destination - note that this charge apparently is negotiable - and $50 processing fee from JBA in Ellicott City (near Baltimore, MD). My reccommendation: comparison shop via e-mail. I sent out a dozen or so inquiries and received a couple of pretty good offers. One dealer (Sheehy of Annapolis) sent great quotes, but when we started to negotiate price, wanted to charge another $700 to get the car to me from South Carolina. My company also offers the VPP, but it turned out that the dealers cannot negotiate if you give them your VPP number and the quotes I received with the VPP discount were not as good as what I ended up paying without using it. Apparently, there is a $1500 (one dealer said $1000) dealer cash incentive going on now. Overall, it was a great experince shopping online and over the phone and not stepping foot (=wasting time) into a single dealership until ten minutes before I signed the paperwork. Wanted to pass this along to the Forum.

I just purchased a silver graphite 2005 QX56 with factory installed DVD and sunroof and a sticker price including destination charges of $54,850 and I paid $48,300 plus taxes and tags which I think is about $1,700 under invoice. Purchase was form Nationwide in Timonium, MD and the vehicle was fresh off the truck with ten miles on it. I pressed hard on the price and didn't think I could get any more off although I think the dealer was working with some factory incentives to get it so far below invoice. I moved on it as someone else was interested in the car as well as it had only been there for two days and all the other colors they had were bad-Jade and White. Is this a good deal or since they are trying to move 2005's to make room for the 2006's should I have pushed harder for more.

wbr99, I had a similarly good buying experience from Infiniti of Chantilly. I purchased an '05 G35x last month. They seem honest and straight-forward. Of off the dealers in the Washington, DC area, they were the most responsive to my Edmunds internet inquiries. The 500 club is a nice sweetener for anyone looking to purchase in the next few months. As a new dealership, they seem to be working hard to establish a set of satisfied customers who will have a reason to keep coming back.
