Hi, I am new (well long time lurker I suppose lol) to the forum. I am hoping some of you could help answer a few questions.
A little background: I originally had my eye set on the Infiniti Q50. I also visited to see the BMW 328i and Lexus IS. During my visit to see the Lexus IS, the 2013 GS drew my attention. It is 8-10K more expensive and a little bigger. While I completely understand it is supposedly to compete with the 5 series and the M, please hear me out. I was able to get an offer around 51K for a 56K MSRP during my first visit. I think it is possible to get it around 50K. But why am I here? well, because Infiniti also build amazing cars. I am also fairly young, maybe 50K is a great price, it is still a little hefty given that I am paying full cash. So please help me out!
1. If you have actually seen the Q50 in person, how much leg room is in the rear seat? aside from safety/reliability of the car, rear seating leg room are the most important to me because I want my parents to be completely comfortable when they seat in the back. Is it similar to the Lexus IS? If so, then, it is not enough
To my biggest surprise, there are more than enough room in the 3 series (the sales person said they made the 3 series the same size as the old 5 series).
2. It seems everyone here pre-ordered a 50K+ car. In terms of what I need, the 41K AWD Premium + Nav is enough for me. Do they have even make the 40-45K range Q50? I am not planning on pre-order and would like to buy the one on the lot. What is the most common setup? feel free to speculate.
3. No offense intended, but how do you feel about paying MSRP for a car? I am sure people paid near MSRP for the 2013 Lexus GS, now there are big discounts.
Thanks in advance.
