Hi guys! I'm a new guy around here who might be sticking around for a bit. Looking at buying a new (used) car. Stumbled on the G37 autos as they fit the bill. Got pre approved from my bank and went and test drove a few cars. Test drove a G37 at the somewhat local Infiniti dealership. Loved it! Black in black g37 journey sedan auto with 29k on the clock. They were asking $25k and I offered $21. They countered with $22.5k and i said no thanks and walked.

That was yesterday and today I received an email from my salesman asking what they could do to earn my business. Still contemplating my next move, hopefully ill grab the car at a price I like. Thanks for reading!

 

You don't specify if you're looking at an all wheel drive or just rwd, but do yourself a favor and try to find one with the S trim. Not the sport appearance, but full sport package. You might like it if you're interested in something more performance/handling based.

When I was shopping, there were no base journey models available, just the awd models. I got 1/4 mile into the test drive and turned back. Was way too soft/mushy/slow_poor steering response, etc. Just didn't feel right. Test drove a few sport coupes and knew that was the trim i wanted (but with 4 doors).

 

Sorry, I'm interested in rwd only as is the car I'm looking at. I haven't even seen the S trims for sale, ill take a look. I'm more into luxury and a nice ride, but the journey seems to have a nice compromise. Handling isn't huge on my list though. Was that confusing? Haha. Thanks for the response.

 

Just looked up the S, I'm only looking for auto cars but thanks for the suggestion!

 

No, not confusing at all. You should still test drive one, you might like it . The S trim is available with an automatic too.

Well my price range is the 09, can't afford a 12 nor do I want a brand spanking new car. What do you guys think is a fair price for an 09 journey sedan auto?

 

25k seems to be the average price. If you can get it to 22,5 that would be great.

 

what is the difference between a G37 and G37S. i have the G37 journey premium package. They seem the same.

 

G37S = Sport. Paddle shifters. Sport seats. Sport tunes suspension. (Depending on year), different front-end. Different wheels. Bigger brakes.

I got the S, for one main reason, it looks hella aggressive in the front with the lip.

 

well given i'm in real estate and don't plan on racing it "often" Don't really need the sport pkg but yours does look nice

 

Ok thanks. Well I countered with $21.5 so we will see!

 

After some long and drawn out negotiations, I got the car for $22k!
