How well does Lexus allow upside down from trade?
I am considering trading in my 9 month old G35 Sedan 6mt for a IS300 or GS400-430. I am sick of the service bs and have never been treated so bad. I have a seriously bad syncro in my 6th gear, and the dealer is giving me hell to replace the tranny. Making up excuses, etc.
I owe 35k still on it, its worth might be around 27k or so.
I will consider a used GS430-400 or a new IS300.
Any advice would be great guys. Located in SA, TX

upside down
Obviously there is no way you're getting a good deal on trade. Best bet would be private sale. Still won't get $35K but you'll be closer to what you want.
I didn't know G35's were having tranny problems. I am considering getting one. If it were me, I'd drop the car off and say don't give it back until it's fixed.

Actually I only owe 34,100 on the G35. Just checked. So I am not seriously upside down, but stil am.

Infiniti, though, is a company that, like Lexus and Saturn, is noted for customer service. If you're not getting satisfactory attention at the dealer level, and you can prove that you did not abuse the car by warranty standards,(drag-racing, autocrossing, etc...), and maintained it properly, the chances are that the company at least at higher level will make things right for you, if not at the dealer level.
If they don't.....as I mentioned, you have many options.
If you just don't want this car any more...well, of course, that is a different matter....and we can go from there......with many other options. That's one of the things we're here for at CL....to help you and give advice.
Good luck...let us know what you want and how it turns out.
