Actually, since VPP is basically invoice, you might be able to haggle to that anyway.

I have a VPP claim print out valid until Dec 25 2008. I still work for the same company and have a badge for that..

Also what do you mean now w/ new restrictions?

Thanks,

The 7AT shifts EXTREMELY smoothly. I'm averaging 22 mpg in combined driving in the first 600 miles (mellow break-in with only a few 6-7k RPM touches.)

Overall, I'm very pleased.

I'm looking at buying a 2009 G37 AWD Coupe in December.

Thanks,

I called half a dozen dealers and inquired whether they would accept VPP pricing on a new '09 G coupe (it is the dealer's option to participate or not). One dealer said the only reason he'd accept VPP was because of the current economic state, otherwise no way. One said no, several said yes, and one lied. Tustin Infiniti (LA area) said they checked and VPP was excluded on the '09 G coupes... I then checked online and found the opposite to be true. I called the VPP help number to confirm. Yep, they lied. I'd steer clear of them (for anyone in SoCal reading this thread.) I can't stand dishonest people.

MSRP = $45,540
VPP = $42035 (D)

BTW... I pre-ordered mine... had 4 miles on the odometer when I picked her up and it was IMPECCABLY prepared without a single swirl or mark of any kind, anywhere. It's EXACTLY what you would desire when brand new... perfect everywhere! The service was awesome, fuel tank full, and the deal completely hassle-free at Hoehn Infiniti in Carlsbad, CA. I HIGHLY recommend this dealership.

I know I "sponged" a lot of information from this site and others prior to ordering/purchasing. Hopefully I can give back a little by this post. Best wishes on your future purchase. This is a GREAT daily driver.

Good luck!

I will get back to you with more questions if any.

Thank you!

I saw 3.9% for 36 mos for a few days on '09's being offered last week... but noticed they removed it and are back pushing to clear their '08 inventory with 0% financing. A smart move by Infiniti.

Pre-orders (at least at this dealer) requested a $500 fully refundable deposit. The deposit gave me "first right of refusal" when the car arrived. I could refuse and get my deposit refunded for any reason. It just puts you first in line and assures that no one will "test drive" your car. An added benefit is that pre-orders are the first of the new model year to be delivered to the dealer.

Glad to help...

By the way did you have any marketing advertisment in calculating the VPP price? I wish I knew the details in calculating your VPP.

It's painless and I felt the price was pretty good for an early '09... a couple hundred over invoice as you mentioned. Given the current economic state, you shouldn't have any problem getting near invoice on an '09 with or w/out VPP, IMO. The prices and financing offers will only get better as the recession deepens and drags on for the next 12-24 months.
