current value of my g37?

where can i get the value of my g37 at this moment? I'm thinking of trading in .... with gas going up as high as it is, It's interfering more than i'd like with my savings.

i tried NADA and KBB but neither of them worked.

Take it to a CarMax and ask. Prepare to be shocked. Good luck with this as it's a tough one to come out ahead on.

Black Book clean value is $34,600. Add 1,000 for nav. Dealers will most likely offer you "rough" book, which is less. If you still owe money on it or are leasing, why not stay in it? It'll take years of gas savings to recoup your loss. Good luck.

Yeah, if you trade and lose thousands, it'll take you a LONG time to recoup that money by driving a civic or whatnot.

Drive gently, pay it down, and take really good care of it, and think about this again in a few years

Need some more info on your car. Options, exact mileage, lease/finance terms (period). How many miles a week do you drive? You should consider reviewing your spending habits overall before simply deciding to sell your car. Sure gas is a bit more than it was when you bought your car but it's only $10-15 more a tank to fill up, hardly a significant amount that hindering your ability to save. Try and reduce your other expenses, TV/Cable, dine out one night a week less, catch a movie in the afternoon, things add up quickly so don't jump on the idea of getting rid of your car, you will be hurting more in the long run (IMO).

The hit you take on your car will be more than the gas money you will be saving. Doesn't make much sense to trade in just because of that.

Compare it with the car you're thinking about getting and see if it adds up.

The notion of getting rid of a car due to the price of gas is just beyond me. When I bought the G (love it btw) saturday this lady was trading in an 07 Tahoe on a g35 sedan to "save gas." She owed 38k on the Tahoe and they gave her 14...and she took it...I was amazed and wanted to slap her. The Tahoe gets 14 around town she said, the g35 gets, what 20?

I think people just like to find something to be active about, so they make stupid decisions like taking a MASSIVE loss on trade to "get better MPG's." The justification is just stupid.

Now, if you're at the end of your Duramax lease and don't NEED a truck anymore eat the damage/mileage costs to turn it in and go for something that gets better gas mileage.

So to answer your question, it's worth less than that. I just picked up mine with sport + premium package, ill. kick panels, clearbra, tint, mats (there was a 2k addendum sticker on top of the 41,900 MSRP) Total MSRP was 43,900 and I was OTD (with all lease fees) for 38,300. That's a 5600 discount, you can count on yours realistically being worth that much less than "book"

^^ Agreed. I got my G Coupe in Feb when gas prices were already sky high. I don't regret the decision one bit. If you couldnt afford the gas prices, why'd you get a G? I got a great deal on an 08 Civic a month back, so I jumped on that so I can use it as my DD but if I didnt get that deal the thought of selling my G would make me cringe...

Seriously, 2K MSRP for clear bra and tint? Wow...

And you got the car for $38.3K out the door? You mean pre-TTL, right? When people say OTD, I think of that as including TTL...maybe it's just me.

Yeah, they were on crack. They wanted 695 for the bra, 695 for the tint, 350 for the all season mats, 400 for the accent lighting, 400 for the door sills etc. etc. The deal ended up almost 600 under their cost for the car (they showed me cost on the tint etc. etc.) Basically I got the car for 600 under invoice plus their cost on all the stuff (180 for tint, 160 for clear bra, 70 for the mats, free sills and free accent lights). Anyway, sorry for the thread-jack, point of the whole story was that prices were super inflated when these were spankin' new and now even Infiniti dealers are feeling the crunch. They'd rather loose 600 than have it sit there another month!

And no, 38.3k was with everything (acquisition fee and upfront taxes) the other taxes (16/month) are paid each month in CO. My plate fee I guess will be 315 but I kinda consider that separate as you have to register any car...

Guys, you have to remember that the '09's are coming out soon. It's late in the game for the '08's and if you do get an '08, you should be able to get real good deals as the dealerships will want to start moving the '08's.
