Default invoice is not really invoice

The paper I was shown stated that my car invoice price was 44k.

Invoice is actually 42k according to Infiniti. (They called and asked for blue book value). Which is 39k for my car.

That's possible (the 42K part). With dealer holdbacks, incentives, etc. However, I am not too sure about that 39K number. But that too may be legit. Black Book is a wholesale number.

With that said, I hope you are talking about a loaded 250!

+1 . . as soon as I hit post, I thought about that. If you showed up at an Infiniti dealer and asked them to give a number on a Lexus, what do you think it will be? As low as they could go without sounding too out of line would be my guess. Those numbers may be way out of line. I'd be interested to see what someone with better knowledge says.

It's for the IS350 F-sport.

Infiniti knows because that's what Lexus told them. I gave them the Vin and Lexus pulled up the car info.

I originally wanted 41k for the car. But Lexus laughed and said, no, it's way to close to invoice.

What options did you have on your car? IS350 F Sport RWD fully loaded had supposedly invoice price of ~$45.5k.

You really believe what Infiniti told you about the price of a lexus?? If you're looking to sell your car or trading your car into infiniti theyre not going to tell you the true invoice price. My hunch says they will tell you something less than that so they will pay you less.

Fsport pkg
BSM
NAVI

(addling ML audio and VGRS would take it to 45k)

So my car's true invoice would be ~ $44k! I asked for invoice price but I should have asked for "real" invoice price!

42k sounds about right. I mean, a few people are claiming getting up to $1,500 below invoice.

44,000 - 1,500 = $42,500

So they still make $500 if invoice is 42k.

MSRP was a little over 47k.

I mean think about it. The Q50, with 19's sports wheels, touring package, premium package, a larger motor is 43k.

Based on TrueCar MSRP and Invoice price, it looks like my price is ~$500 below TrueCar invoice.

They're probably not factoring in the $910 destination charge as well as the documentation fee charge

Q50 Exterior is ok but interior design, I do not like. But if I was getting the Q50 I would be looking at the hybrid model.
