Got a email quote for a G35. What to ask if I go for it?

Is there anything I should remember to ask when I call him to confirm the quote he emailed me? Its a brand new car. I can only think of current mileage on the car, and method for the downpayment (cashier check or personal check?) What about financing? Do dealers ask for the SSN on the phone or that is done over at the dealership? How is the title and license fee computer in CA?

what they quoted me. XXX+ tax + dmv fees.

Don't let Rossman see this thread...

Problem 1: brand new car (huge depreciation hit)
Problem 2: ATOTers want to pay the least for a given service or goods
Problem 3: gas is at an all-time high
Problem 4: financing a car is a no-no; pay in cash
Problem 5: no haggling?
Problem 6: see #1 again

1- Not when they sell it for $2K under invoice
2- 🙂
3- True 🙁
4- I get 3.3% interest a year from ING. My credit score is 750+. I will most likely qualify for either 2.9% or 1.99% APR. I would be losing money by paying cash.
5- No point in haggling. Sales manager know their minimum possible price. Haggling about price shouldn't take more than 15min.
6- See #1

So you're saying there is no huge depreciation hit if they sell it 2K under invoice? 😕
 
1- Not when they sell it for $2K under invoice

If it's through one of those factory sales events... It'll just make it depreciate even more because so many people got in on the deal... People are ignorant when buying a new car. Why not look for a slightly used one? You'll save quite a bit and won't take as huge of a hit.
