    Well I took the plunge on the Infiniti. Black on black (black is easily the best color on this car IMO) and couldn't pass up the deal. I ended up getting over $5000 off MSRP. September is a great time to buy because dealers are pretty motivated to move thier inventory to make room for the new model year cars that come in late September and stop paying insurance on thier old stock.

      Good deal. What were you driving before or did you keep your old car?

        A 2004 6 cylinder Mazda 6 sedan. It had almost 100k miles with bald tires and needed rear brakes. I asked for $5000 on trade in and they were going to give it to me until they took it for a drive and saw the tires needed replacing and there was rust on the wheel wells and hood. So they gave me $4200 and I couldn't really complain when it probably needed over $1000 of work for tires, brakes and fixing the rust.

        I couldn't see myself getting much more with a private sale with those issues and I really couldn't be bothered with extra hassles of selling privately. Except for the premature rust the Mazda did serve me well (no major repair bills) and was a fun car to drive but it was time to upgrade.

          I had a custom BMW 3 series (M3)... it was a 2002 BMW "330xi" Sedan... basically an "Alpina".

          I got it wholesale through a friend, where it was a one owner car, still had a 5 year BMW extended certified pre-owned warranty on it... custom built, "European Delivery". Meaning the guy who bought it, went to Germany, had the car built to his liking, and took it on the Autobahn, then brought it home. Usually it works out to be cheaper through a dealer to do this shockingly (even after the plane ticket and hotel stay).

          I guess you get a crazy discount. Anyhow, the car had a beefed up transfer case (basically built up X5 one)... M3 motor and transmission, seats, etc ... all in "all wheel drive", which M3's did not come in. Nor did they make the sedan that year.

          But when you go out there they let you pick what you want it appears.

          Anyhow, the car was rare, but I was so glad it had that BMW warranty. Cause when there was an issue here and there, crank sensor, etc... I seen the price of parts on the printouts, and WOW!

          Needless to say they are gorgeous cars, some of the best handling in the world... but expensive to repair.
          I know, thats why i keep fixing, it's the best drive I've ever had
