Which do you like better? I prefer the infinity, mainly due to ability to use Msds. Does the MDX have front/back adjustment for the 2nd row? I know the qx60 does and that would be a deal breaker for me in that size vehicle.

Are you shipping the deal or are you shopping the car? Some of us here just like the best deal we can find, others want the best deal on a specific car.

Not doing any research on how competitive the Infiniti quote is, I’d say it’s the better deal compared to the Acura. Doesn’t mean it’s the better car.

Which do you prefer?

Whats the selling price on the qx60 and is it with vpp?

To me both drive same. Have to check second row

I am shopping the deal.

They must have really tightened it up and added power to the QX60 as I haven’t driven a 2018. To me the power difference is significant, not that the infiniti is underpowered, but there’s a definite difference. You don’t have to put premium in the infiniti though. The simplest way to describe it is the mdx drives more like a sports sedan and the infiniti is similar to a boat coming up on plane, but never planes…

I agree with power part. Need premium for cold weather I guess heated seats and steering wheel. Don’t need navigation, but nice to have as infinity doesn’t have CarPlay or android play

I drove both a 2 years ago and absolutely hated the way the qx60 drove. Even now with minor updates, the cvt transmission is terrible, and the engine noise inside the cabin is awful. Tech is old esp the rear view cam resolution. There is no feel from the steering wheel.

I thought the acura was much better than the infiniti even though its tech is old too.

Are the Infiniti dealers starting to get stingy on the QX60s? Seems like very few people are posting deals on the 2018s and the deals that are posted are pretty terrible compared to what’s been seen in the past. I know it’s January but it seems like $10k+ off MSRP isn’t happening anymore.

Is this decent or great deal on qx60? I can wait till Early March.

Seems pretty good for a QX60 with the Driver Assistance package, though we don’t know what the sales price is. In the past I think there have been some deals posted on 2017 models for under $400/month, but I think they were for Premium Plus only (no Driver Assistance).

$53,160.00 MSRP including driver package
Invoice $49,868.00
Your Price $45,118.00

Is there margin for negotiations?

You can try, but I’m not sure that they’ll come down anymore his month. They just don’t have much to work with it seems. In March they may loosen the purse strings for the end of their fiscal year. Every month after that the 2018s get older and you can probably work better deals.

Now is just not the best time for QX60 deals, though this one is decent.

I would wait. When I was tracking the QX60 last year, the RV in May/June was the same as it is now (57% on a 39/10 or 39/12) but with larger discounts. In certain regions, people were getting sub-400 deals on Qx60 (California was better than the east coast and the mid-Atlantic was better than the South).

The QX60 didn’t have a very good 2017 (sales we’re down quite a bit from 2016), so you’d think they would be more willing to deal early in 2018. But they have their reasons I suppose.
