My friend at school's Dad currently has a 2004 Infiniti G35X. He hates the sportiness of the car and wants something more comfortable and luxurious. Additionally, the lease on his Infiniti is looming so he is currently looking for replacements. I recommended the RL to him as it seems to fit all of his criteria.

I've been searching online a lot and understand tha the RL isn't selling nearly as well as one would think. He asked how much I think he could get a new 2007 RL non-tech for and I said probably around $38K with some negotiation. He is finding it hard to believe given the fact that MSRP on the non-tech RL is around $42K. So basically, how much could he get a 2007 non-tech RL for? He is located in Connecticut and might also be interested in leasing so for those of you who might have leasing figures, those are apprecaited as well.

 

I'm shopping a non tech RL now in MD area. The MSRP is $45k and change. Best quote I've gotten with some work is $38,450 including freight. All models have the $3,500 marketing support thru April. Many dealers don't seem that eager to deal right now and inventory isn't that high at most places I've checked, especially for the base. Pretty good price but I'd rather have the the rest of the Tech goodies (Nav, real wood, active lighting) that came with the 2006 base model and these could be had for around $40,000 last fall at the end of the 2006 model year. Using Edmunds to get dealer price quotes is the easiest way to get the best pricing from my experience. Still a helluva deal for a car this good but I'm still getting used to the idea of spending this kind of $$$ when it'll be worth half that in 4 years plus my 98 RL looks great and no problems at 125k miles. Guess I'm showing my age
