It's in my driveway right now!!!/ Advice please

I finally did it! I am the proud new owner of a 2011 G37xS Graphite Shadow graphite/prem/nav. After 2 1/2 years in my Maxima it was time for the FWD, CVT and turning radius of an aircraft carrier to go. It was a sporty sedan but by no means was it a sports sedan. I was able to take advantage of VPP A plan pricing and ended up paying $2750 under invoice

I had posted previously asking about the subtle differences in nav v. non-nav and most responded by saying to get nav or I would regret it... I can say that I do not regret getting the nav package even after having the car a single day. The level of integration and touch screen are major advantages in my mind. Thanks to all for their advice on that!

I do have a question that I am curious about... If you were a brand new G owner... what would you definitely do or do differently this time around?

Christmas is definitely a little merrier this year!DOMO

I came from 15 years of Maxima ownership. The main things that I am doing are tint, Eibach springs, and cat-back exhaust (probably ARK). I just spent too much on a winter setup.

I've always wanted to add a blower but end up putting the money towards a newer/better car.

My company now offers VPP, so I would have taken advantage of that. Other than that, I would not do anything different.

I could try to negotiate better pricing. I feel like now I could have gotten better deal.

Congratualtions! I just got my G37x last Friday. Black on graphite, Premium, Nav, and sport packages. When I started shopping I was hoping to get only the premium package at a great price, ended up getting everything for about $2750 below like you. It's my first G and I wouldn't change anything. I love the car.

Not something I would do differently, but in fact the same, read read read. Learn what is out there, what works and what doesn't, and make your decisions slowly. That has kept me a happy G owner for quite a few years, and keeps me really enjoying the mods and changes I do on my cars. I see too many people make snap decisions(this isn't just G owners...but just in general) then a few months later they want to swap things out again because it isn't what they really wanted.

Nicely done. I got my new 2011 G37S Limited Edition the day AFTER Christmas. Had an 04 G35 that I didn't really want to part with... but I had to get the new one.

Me 2!

I just picked up a Black/Black G37xs Premium sport black grill and spoiler. Love it had everything from 500hp STi to CLS55. The G is a pretty great car. Really really want the ARk exhaust but they are way off on making as they dont have an AWD G37 sedan as a template? Might have to go Fast Intentions. Tinted today, changing out all bulbs to L.E.D. Tomorrow.! Congrats!

Well, you must have read my mind. A year ago I bought a 2010 Maxima because it was a little cheaper than a G sedan. After that year I was so sick of that CVT I couldn't see straight.

I have a friend that works for Nissan Corporate, so got a VPP "C" - not as good as some of you, but still pretty good.

Wish I had done this a year ago!!!
