We got the JX AWD yesterday and we ended up taking the Elite maintenance plan (zero deductible) offered by the finance gal. We have a 39 month 15K/year lease, so she offered a 45,000 mile plan for ALL the scheduled maintenance in the owner's maintenance booklets (basically every 3750 miles). She showed an actual cost of 2246 from their own service department charges for each of the maintenance. Those figures were true, compared to my experience with my two G35 vehicles since 2003. We got it for 50% off at 1123. I think it was a pretty decent deal to get dealer servicing and it's good at any Infiniti dealer in the US, where most would offer a loaner +/1 car wash at each service.

Anyone else purchase the plan or have thoughts about it?

Extended warranty and prepaid maintenance are 2 different products. Our lease is fully covered under standard warranty, but we still have to do maintenance, so this maintenance plan seemed like a good deal. We'll actually probably use it to service at another dealer closer by. There are some dealers that sell both online, our deal was only good at time of purchase from Infiniti of Oakland (CA). That price was what I'd calculated I would spend at an indepedent repair shop, but now I get Infiniti service with loaners, etc.

Hey JX35MD - Here are the rates I got from an online website (I think its a dealer in Florida).

39 months
Premium - 1399
Elite 1 - 939
Elite 2 - 669
I don't know all the details of the different plans, but on our contract there are selections for $0, $50, $100 deductible and we have the zero. That may be the 3 levels you are quoting. It's also not the time period, but miles that matter more when looking at a maintenance plan as most folks go based on mileage not how many months they've had their car. I don't have a printout of their standard service pricing, but she showed me all the expected services and prices on her computer screen and they were 49 or 59 for a 3750 mile oil change, about 100 for the 7500 mile oil change and and tire rotation and inspections, about 499 for a 15000 or 45000 mile intermediate service, and 699 for a 30000 mile major. All of those added up to 2246 over 45000 miles.

Those are on par with my experience when I call for quotes to service my 2007 G35S. I usually end up going with my independent repair guy who used to be a master technician at an Infiniti dealer for 10 years. He charges about 65% of dealer charge, but he doesn't have a loaner or shuttle and does not wash the car. Many real picky owners over at the G35 forums say that they always demand NO car wash, but I've never had any problems when getting it washed at the dealer with a service or warranty repair.

My local dealer now charges something like $10 or $15 for fuel every time you get a loaner. It used to be free loaner and return it with the same amount of fuel, but many probably abused that. Now they charge that upfront and you return it was whatever amount of fuel you want. I had to send them out to fuel up the car once when they tried to give me a loaner with the low fuel warning flashing on the info screen.

You can buy from other dealers. I'm not sure if you can cancel it though.
My dealer offered to sell me the Elite 1 at 39/45000 for $2600 and said he change it to 48 months if I bought it that day. I asked him $1300. He said he didn't want to discuss it further with me :)

I tried calling the dealers nearby, all finance department are route to voicemail, i guess they rather ripping more car buyer on maintanence or warranty plan than phone call customer like me...

Thanks, my dealer quoted me for the 8/120,00: Premium - 4659.00, Elite 1 - 3019.00, and Elite 2 - 2339.00. Looks like 500 more than what you were quoted. I am interested too, just want to make sure I get the best deal also!

Did you crunch the numbers on how much it costs for maintenance? I'm debating between getting the Premium and the Elite.
To me it doesn't make sense to take the Premium for less than 4 years.
I'm thinking of delegating this work to the concierge service in Infiniti Connection. They claim they can do anything we tell them to do. :D
