Congrats! I'm a newbie to this site myself and am taking delivery of a Athens Blue '08 6MT tomorrow. Pretty excited about it.
Recommendations for you... Do shop around for insurance. I'm with State Farm and have been since I've been driving. State Farm offers financing and refinancing. You should give your local State Farm agent a call for rates and inquire about refinancing. They will most likely beat your current rate. They also offer GAP insurance at no additional cost. This insurance protects you in the event that your car is stolen or totaled in an accident and you owe more than the car is worth.

Hey you guys are from Ohio right? I use to live there back in the early 90's. I'm actually surprised there is some G37 owners there cause out of all the states Ohio was the one hit hard with unemployment. How is everything there?

I can't speak for the other guys, but I have only seen two other G37's in the 8 months that I have had mine. Things have definitely taken a hit here in Dayton, but it doesn't seem like Columbus or Cincinnati have felt the full brunt of the unemployment yet. To be honest with you, I haven't really noticed much change from the economy. There are still tons of brand new cars on the road, and I see new $60K+ cars on the road everyday. People might now have as much money here, but they're sure as hell still spending it like they have it!!

It's the same here too. I here all this crap about the economy being bad but it doesn't look like it here. I see alot of G37's on the road everyday here. Yes the economy is in bad shape right now but it's really the media that makes it appear worse than what it actually is. I'm assuming your a dentist by what your profile says right? See doctors, dentists, etc etc are the people that won't be effected by it cause there will always be people who need them.

Regarding Infiniti of Cincinnati, I will most likely use them for servicing as my manager bought his there and is happy with their service. I need to find a lug nut key as I noticed mine is missing. I may stop up there today to look into it.
I've only seen two other G37's around here. They're just not a common car to begin with. The G35 coupe is more common, but you still don't see a ton. The sedan however is very common. One of the reason's I chose The G Coupe over a BMW. Beemers are a dime a dozen here. I wanted a good car that was not very common and I found it.

I actually flew down to Austin, Texas and purchased it at a Nissan used car dealer. I found the car on Autotrader.com. Got a very good price on the car. I drove it back from Austin. Gave me some time to get comfortable with it. Great car.

Hey Dan, this is Dan from Infiniti of Cincinnati, I was your advisor today...I hope your experience today wasn't too terrible lol. It's rare seeing Cincy folks on here so it's nice to finally meet one. As far as service/maint goes, I would definately recommend coming to us. We've heard our fair share of Infiniti of Dayton horror stories and I'm sure they've heard a few as well, but we have a great reputation and will definatley help you out. If you need anything in the next few months, let me know and I'll do whatever I can to help you out. I'm part-time so I'm only there Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat.

Appreciate your assistance this morning. I was happy with the courteous and professional handling of my inquiries and request for replacement parts. I intend on having my car serviced at Infiniti of Cincinnati in the future. I have your card... will be giving you call. Let me know when my part comes in.

What? I don't live in Ohio lol, I live in NYC, I use to live in Ohio back in the 90's that's what I meant.
Either way I will be getting my service done at Infiniti of Manhattan. The people there are nice and everything cause my dad gets his M45 serviced there. I had Infiniti of Massepequa in mind, but after that story I heard I changed my mind. Can't take that risk.

9% is nothing compared to a friend of mine with crappy credit. She got some sort of Toyota at a 13% rate. Improved her credit, sold the car and bought something else at 1.5% 2 years later. She put down enough so that when she sold it she owed less than it was worth (and took care of it).
Congrats on the car. Just be sure to make payments on time and your credit score will get so much better.
As for the insurance thing, 99.9% of car places won't let you drive the car off the lot without any insurance so you must have it before hand. If you are under your parents policy then you should be fine as long as you have proof.

Hey, don't feel bad about that interest rate!! I borrowed $15K from my father when I purchased my G, and asked him for a 3% family rate. He bumped me up to a 5% rate and then laughed at me when I agreed. At least you're getting screwed by the bank!! I ended up just paying him the $15K a few months later and then laughing at him while he put it in the bank making <2%. Just pay it off when you get a chance and you'll be fine.
I will say no more.

I'm currently a member of G35NYC.com. Great website and lots of info. Hopefully I make some time for a meet or something cause I'm busy with work.
I was actually going to come to you kenny when I was buying but I got no reply from you so I thought you didn't want to help me. I sent you a couple messages, and even waited a month or something for you to reply.
