I put down a deposit for an Amethyst Graphite on Graphite 6mt w/ navi (and premium). The date I was given is late sept. I'm still waiting for a VIN.

I'll be trading my 2006 G35 Coupe 6MT w/ Navi for it....

 

I'll post pics tonight. The color is just gorgeous when the sun hits it and I'm not sure if a camera can even capture it.

 

Damn, youve barely broken in that 06.

 

Misslydia, you got yours already?

 

How did they treat you on your trade?

 

Yep, check the Got G? forum.

 

Congrats man, AG looks like a fantastic color!

MissLydia, would you mind post some pics here when you get a chance?

 

The G37 is worth the $40k a helluva lot more than my 06 is. I think it makes no sense to continue making payments on the 06 when not much more payment puts a G37 in the garage instead.

The difference is night/day.

 

Sounds good. How much are they giving you for a trade?

 

I'm interested in your trade amount also, I have a 06 FX35 AWD that I'm going to trade.

 

I've not worked out the trade yet, so I don't know. I expect KBB valuation.

 

OK I went today to run numbers with my dealer

Trade-in was high side of KBB. My 06 is in excellent condition minus mildly high mileage. $26k even.

G37 6mt w/ Navi was sticker at $42,025. Sales manager was completely unwilling to budge on that.

I asked the sales manager to please consider coming up on my trade-in to compensate for the sticker on the G37 side of the deal. They said they would work on it.

So, my impression right now is that I will have to hope they reconsider their trade offer. Or, I will sell the car myself. I plan to list it tomorrow after I take some pictures. Best case scenario would be if I brought them a buyer for trade-through.

I'm also considering leasing since I plan to move to a more practical four-door in about 3 years. But, the G37 is not leasing very well right now.

In any case, the car should be here this coming week! So I just need to finalize the numbers and get them in line with what I'm able to pay for the car.

 

That is so true....went 2 dealer today found out the hardway myself

 

great color choice love it

 

Yes... I like it too. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but I wanted to like it. Now I'm actually liking it a lot for real. I'm sure once it is mine and I see the different hues it will be awesome. I have a black coupe now and I will miss that "just-washed" black car look. I will not miss the "just sprinkled on for 1 minute and looks like it hasn't been washed in 3 months" look though!

Here's my ad for my 06 Coupe. Thought you guys might enjoy the pictures of my current ride.. Took these today:
