Also looking from the post above, is it as easy as that? Just tell them you would like invoice and you will sign? I will have to see how well that works then!

dealerships need to move units. if you can take a model off of their lot, it is the best way to get a deal. also bear in mind that this is prob a car u will keep for a while. dont settle. if you will be taking a car off the lot, make sure it is what you WANT, and not something that you will take.

this is the second time i've bought a car that way. i find that most businesses will take you more seriously and accomodate if you seem that you know exactly what you want. believe it or not, dealerships dont want any BS either. they just want to make a profit. if you give them a number you are willing to pay, they will tell you if it is profitable enough for them. put the ball in their court. and again.. dont say "i wat invoice". tell them i will pay 39.876 or whatever for the car. make sure u go prepared with that number.

just so you can read this. the first # is the MSRP, second is the Invoice.
Base Price of Vehicle $35,550 / $32,688
Regional Adjustment
for Zip Code Change - - $151
Optional Equipment $6,080 / $5,190
P01 Premium Package $3,200 / $2,757
U01 Navigation Package $2,200 / $1,896
P93 Illuminated Kick Plates $320 / $268
B94 Body-Colored Splash Guards $200 / $157
T95 Trunk Mat $100 / $69
T92 Trunk Cargo Net $60 / $43
Color Adjustment - -
Liquid Platinum
Destination Charge $715 / $715
Total with Options $42,345 / $38,593

so that is the invoice for my car. i got my car for 39,000 plus a 500 rebate from infiniti. unless my math fails me, that means i got my car for 38.5, which is 93 dollars less than invoice.

what did i do to get this number? what was my super secret? i knew the price of all of the options, knew the invoice before i went to the dealer. i told the dealer i was ready to buy, and if they can meet my price, i'll sign papers. i told my salesperson the number i wanted, just told him to talk to the sales manager, and if they want to do business to let me know. if not, i asked for the courtesy of letting me know so i can go to another dealership who might want my business.

i got the thumbs up about 3 minutes later.
best of luck!

PM me with details if you want. (my name is josh)
oh, btw.. she said for a deal like i got, she would highly recomend that the deal be done before new year. (not sure if that is true or she just wants to move units..)

Atlantic Infiniti in Jacksonville....

G37S Journey with nav, premium and sport packages...blue slate and stone interior...$43.5k OTD but at that price I got them to throw in the Elite protection package Option 1 (the everything package that includes services)....

At that cost I was happy with the deal once they included that....
