Fx35?

[k20z3]

Well now I'm looking into maybe a used 09 FX35. I was wondering I test drove them I really like them, they'd have more room for my photography equipment and a little bit better than the 09 Murano?? I was thinking maybe now the time to get a Z but I couldnt fit m lighting equipment + computers in the car.

My question is, what is a good market price do you think I could get a used one with under 26,000 MI? Ive been seeing some go for 29,000 which would be perfect maybe go down even more?

I want a white one too. SO I guess my real question is whats a good starting price for these vehicles?

They seem to give REASONABLE, not the best but a start. I think its weird going from the 1zz(celica), to k20z3, now to an infiniti FX35, but it seemed sporty with alot of room. Have decent credit so probably could do good enough financing. Anyways I wish we had supporting INfiniti Dealers on here.

yah, it's a good starting point because carmax price is non-haggle market price. if you buy privately you can use that as leverage or expect a slightly higher price.

if you buy from another dealer you can expect to pay about that or less.

as for financing, check separately with your bank/institution for best apr. dealers get reimbursed from banks by raping customers with higher apr.

those are 2 very different cars....!

if you're into driving for fun the MS3 is not a bad choice.
FX35 if you dont mind the AT.

between those two i would get the MS3.

No idea how much gear you've got, but I've used everything from an S2000 to a 04 Civic, 2010 Yaris, and an 09 FX56 for photoshoots.

In the Yaris, I regularly carried my rig (with 13 foot boom, in one piece), 4 light stands, 28" Apollo softbox, 2 umbrellas, my camera bag, and still had room for an assistant. My friend regularly travels with 3 Alien Bees, Vagabond, camera bag, laptop, light stands, PCB soft box, and umbrellas in his S2000. I've even managed to fit in the car with him for shoots, and brought my own camera bag. He's also carried my rig... Although I'm not sure how lol. In the Civic, we had 5 Alien Bees, 2 Vagabonds, his large camera bag, a boom, 4 light stands, my camera bag, 2 soft boxes, a beauty dish and umbrellas.

I can't really imagine what kind of gear you'd be transporting that wouldn't fit in a Z.

Girl at work has one. It's her mommymobile, and she likes it, but doesn't know how to use the paddle-shifters. Wants me to teach her sometime (but she's married and I already know she's not a "hotwife", but damn if she doesn't act like one).
