So, do you own a G? Have one on order? I do and the wait is killing me![^]

I don't have a G yet. I was at the dealership last Saturday and drove one. All I can say is...WOW. At this point, I am undecided on what to do. The decision I have to make is to either
a) Place my deposit and get the car the exact way I want it now or
b) Wait till the 04's come out and any 1st year bugs get worked out and the hype dies down.
So far, my dealer has been unwilling to negotiate for anything less than MSRP. I am no fool and will never pay MSRP for a car. I will be calling him tomorrow to see if he'll negotiate yet. If not, my brother works for a Nissan dealership and the owner of the dealership also owns an Infinity dealership so I may be able to get a good deal there.
If I do order one, it will be the Diamond Platinum with 18's and nav.
One thing is for sure, I am definately buying this car.

I would say wait. If you're looking for less then MSRP and maybe waiting until the bugs are worked out, then just wait until summer or the end of '03. It's going to be tough, though, when you see all those G's driving around[

Hey Guys,
I've been reading G forums for the past couple of months while awaiting the arrival of my own. In general, I tend to read alot more than write, but thought that I should start giving back a little. These forums are a great source of info, and being that this one is new and therefore somewhat small, I thought it would be a nice place to start interacting.
Concering my car, I'm flying to Omaha this weekend to pick up a CB G35C 6MT loaded except for the nav unit. Can't wait! I live in Pensacola, Fl, but got hooked up with a sweet deal in NE and therefore have to make the road trip.
I'm suspect that many more people will file into the site once they here about it.
Take care

Happened by the local dealer and was informed there was a 120 day wait list [] While strolling through the lot I found the exact model, color, and optioned car I wanted sitting there [] He said it was taken, I said can we talk [:0] Well good thing I prodded him, as it turned out the financing dropped through on the person who ordered it and the dealer was awaiting a faxed deposit to come through from a second buyer [] Told him I had cash (well a check) and wanted to leave with the car! As the saying goes "money talks nobody walks". Two hours later I drove home in my new G35 Coupe! Talk about "right time / right place" []
We needed something that could carry more than 2 people, wasn't a Van (have an '02 Chyr T&C), but yet had the performance and handling we love in our other cars ('02 Porsche Carrera Cab, '87 Ferrari 328 GTS, '00 Viper GTS Coupe). This car hits the mark on all points! What fun to drive! For all of those still waiting, it's worth every minute as you'll find out when you get it! Having driven some fine sports cars over the years, the G35 doesn't leave much to be desired. Can the Porsche out perform it, yes. Does the Ferrari make the adrenaline pump a bit more, yes. Is the Viper the ultimate horsepower trip, yes. Does the NSX more fully immerse the driver as part of itself, yes. But I can truely say the G35 Coupe gives enough of it all that one would not feel they were really missing anything and you can take your friends along and have money left in your bank account to boot !
Good luck to all those waiting and in search of thier G35 Coupe.
BTW, based on the traffic I saw through the showroom while I waited for the prep to be done on the car, I wouldn't predict much of anything off MSRP for at least 6-9 months.

Numbers?
g35C 6MT Loaded except Nav
MSRP: 35,685
Price: 33,877
Did I mention I got a 10 yr loan at 4% with no money down and no payments for 9 months?
I was planning on waiting and getting one in a few years. However, given the above numbers and the fact that it was Motor Trend Car of the Year, I figured the base price would rise quickly in the next few years and I'd be an idiot not to go for it now.
BTW, this deal was through a friend. The dealership has told me that they don't sell them for less than MSRP normally. They also told me that MSRP has risen $80 and that their profit margin has decreased by $300-400. Finally, they said Infiniti plans on increasing MSRP by about $300 per 3 months given such huge demand.

Now that's a great deal!
I know that Nissan (Infiniti)employees and those of some related suppliers qualify for some pretty amazing discounts. Guess your friend got you in under that. Actually followed a thread through some other web site that talked about the whole program Nissan runs. Although I can't remember the name of the program, I do know that it's described on Nissan's web site. Might be worth checking out if one thinks the company they work for supplies Nissan.

Don't know what someone does with 4 Vipers, one is more than I can handle!
The car is an absolute brute, albeit a fast one. My wife won't even consider driving it and she loves to drive.

Yeah, and emphasis on "start". I have a lot of pages that are partially complete that I just need to finish up. Stuff like, links, tech briefs, do it yourself, etc. Should be pretty cool once it's all together... I hope [] I'm hoping the free Pedal offer starting tonight will spur some more users to join and post.
