My fully loaded hybrid sport msrp was $54,158 and I paid $50,745.
That would be me. I thought this deserved its own thread. On a scale of 10 I would give drive off simple a 15. This guy knows his stuff. I don't know if you guys remember from a few months ago when I stated I was only 22 (at the time, 23 now). I'm not an expert at negotiating as the Q50 is the first car that I'm actually purchasing on my own. My previous three was my first from my dad. Second and third my mom and she handled all the negotiations. Drive off simple made it incredible easy negotiating on my behalf all while keeping me in the loop with phone calls, emails and text messages. On behalf of my pockets, I would like to thank you sir for saving me 2000 dollars. I will post pictures by weeks end. What are you guys paying for your Q50s fully loaded? I'm asking just so we can all compare.You can consider this an advertisement or you can consider the fact that it's a completely free service:

What's the difference? What someone pays is what they pay no matter how they got the discount.Aggie and Owens got vpp so its not a fair comparison.
I right?
Well, not exactly. VPP, fom what I understand, is pure invoice to the customer but Infiniti pays the dealer - I believe I read about $2000 +/- so the dealer is still making about $2k plus holdback, etc. when they are giving deals, this is even better for everyone.What's the difference?

not installed yet. They have been ordered. They will install once they come in. Dunno when though.splash guards at no extra charge
Gandhi, were the splash guards installed at the port? My dealer said he had to order them separately, and that he will install them when they arrive. He said that they weren't available when he ordered the car for me.
The thread is about what kind of deals people can reasonably expect to negotiate. If VPP isn't an option for us, then it's not really relevant.What's the difference? What someone pays is what they pay no matter how they got the discount.
I gotta keep telling myself this before I get more pissed at my dealership.It's still only a week out of release so the dealers are still trying maximize profits so willingness to deal may be limited.
Would you consider going to other dealerships ?I gotta keep telling myself this before I get more pissed at my dealership.
Too bad it's not Prestige Infiniti anymore. They didn't operate that way. When I bought the G35 as soon as they came out(March, 2002), they gave me $1,000 off MSRP. And I got the GCoupe on Oct. 31, 2002(the day before the official release), at MSRP. Good luck hunting for a better deal.The dealer in Tallahassee Fla. has most of the cars listed almost $3k above MSRP. I don't mind paying close to MSRP for a brand new edition for a new car, but I'm not going to pay that much more, especially when I'm hearing of people getting up to $4k off fully-loaded hybrids. I hate you VPP people(only because I'm jealous)
Thank you Mrkalu, the kind comments are much appreciated. And just so everyone is clear on this, these savings were achieved without VPP, which the average consumer is not entitled to. In my time at Infiniti, out of the hundreds of people I helped, only a handful got VPP. If you want help saving on your Q50, please submit a contact request form on my site and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I'm also currently working as a tutor to support myself as well as the operating costs of the company, so please keep that in mind with regard to response time. My vision for Drive Off Simple is to gain enough support through donations to hire a large team of experienced negotiators who can continue to provide this free service to people nationwide. This is REAL, support us if you want to see this movement grow. Thanks.That would be me. I thought this deserved its own thread. On a scale of 10 I would give drive off simple a 15.

Yeah, I almost put in a disclaimer.... but that isn't what he asked. I was Keeping it simple, and answering the question.Aggie and Owens got vpp so its not a fair comparison.
I right?
Is it though?The thread is about what kind of deals people can reasonably expect to negotiate. If VPP isn't an option for us, then it's not really relevant.
