Im Back! No Fx For Me!! :-)
Deal at Infiniti fell through! I had agreed with them on 21k trade in for my car "stock" format and 37k for the FX 35 MSRP of 41 and change. Today when I arrive, the car that I wanted, so they said was coming in was Silver/on tan! WTF!!! I wanted Silver on Black! Strike 1, next they said they could not give me 21k for my car anymore, because it had 500 miles more than when I went to place the deposit, now they wanted to give me 19.5k , Strike 2, not happy, and when it came to price of the car, they changed the ball for stike 3 and so to make a long story short, i told them to "f" themselves, I was keeping the max.
I was a new car salesman at a Dodge Dealer in miami, never ever have I seen this much sh*t come out of some managers mouth. B/S after B/S, I keep my car and got back my 1k bucks. I now how to handle a car transaction, but once they started changing things as soon as i saw the FX, i new something was up. They completely low balled me, and played with me. Sucked Sucked Sucked. They deal fell apart in like 20 min's after I saw the car and it was the wrong color combo. I mean do they think they can just switch people and mess around with them this way.
So I am glad this kinda happened, the wifey wanted me to get a truck for the baby and all, so they baby would be comfy, damn that I keep the MAX, and call it a day.
So car in demodding discontinued!!!

Welcome Back! We misssed ya![Wink](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Not a loss at all, you get to keep your baby!
We looked at a g-35 and got the same form of treatment. I wasn't thrilled with trading my Max, but my twin sister wanted matching cars, and we agreed on the G! All said and done, same garbage! I am so glad it didn't happen. I love this car more and more everyday.
Carry on and let the modding continue!

Welcome home or back home. I know your frustration with these dealers. They think that because it was the fx that you would jump all over it no matter what they pulled in. Silver with tan just doesn't sound like a good comdo. Infinity ranks high in customer service but the buying part is where they fall short. You worked hard on your max and and obviously your credit. I say f**k'em. I must say I drove the fx 45 it is one helluva vehicle.

I think the Max has the same amount of space as the FX to hold the kids and all of their gear. I have 2 kids, thank god we don't have to use strollers, diaper bags, etc anymore but with all of my work gear, golf clubs and baseball equipment in the trunk, I still get 24 MPG's with the AC on and the 4 of us ride very comfortably. When I need more room, I back out the Pathfinder LE.

FX35 wuth Technology package is over $53K Can! Can you believe that?! 2 weeks ago the Canadian Dollar was trading at 8% of US. In other words we had to pay $1.08 for $1.00 US. If U guys think that U get scamed in the US imagine us poor sucks in Canada! $37 K US is just under 40K Can. Was this a new FX35 and did it have leather and all the goodies except maby the Nav option?

TAN upholstery in a SILVER vehicle? Has to be a mistake. Sounds like a factory reject. A silver exterior MUST have either black (charcoal) or gray (frost) as the interior color. For those who live 'on the edge', even an outlandish interior color such as red or blue would work better in a silver vehicle than tan.
Infiniti clearly was not using Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Julian or Christian Dior as their color co-ordinator. Probably got that color combo from Ralph Kramden (Honeymooners) or Janis Joplin or Phyllis Diller.
In 'olden' years, I have walked away from a 'done deal' over a last-minute 'adjustment' as paltry as $20 bucks. I probably put too much importance on the dealer's honesty and integrity, and suffer as a result. But I have had only pleasant experiences for years with my local Nissan dealer.

If you would have went through with the deal, Dealers call that "Rollin you up and throwing you in a ditch" it's a way of saying they fcuked you and made money. I hate doing business at stealerships. On the flip side, the Max is a very safe car for a family...

First, they tried to switch the lease mileage from 15k/yr to 12k/yr, then they switched the lease from NMAC to another bank, which would have cost me the $500 NMAC loyalty waiver of excess wear/mileage on the '03.
I was about to get up and walk out without signing, but they came back with an offer to go 15k/yr on the miles if I "let them" buy out the '03 lease. They asked me to pay $200 more down, but it got me out of all of the excess wear/mileage charges. In the end it saved me about a grand, so I ended up happy instead of walking out. If they end up making a few bucks on the '03 (they are asking $19k for it as a Certified Pre-Owned after buying out the lease at $15k), good for them.

FX35 Pricing

Glad to have you back. Apparently after talking to a friend of mine here who sells Infiniti's at my local stealership, the G35's sold in the southern US have different trim levels & options. (I'm not talking color). Was the one you had your eyes on 2 wheel drive (Here they all come with x) and was yours all leather? Tilt & Telescoping Steering with VTC?
The FX45 is Rear Wheel Drive only.
The G35s with the Sport Package comes with: 19" Wheels and the 4 wheel steering (every bell and whistle) . Yes you read right 4 wheel steering package! Does not come with Navigation. Nav is not an available option! Go figure!
The info would be very usefull.
Thanks!
