Is this a good deal for '03 G35

Need some advice. I am considering purchasing an 03 G35 with 163,000Km, asking price $10,000. Is this a good deal? It has new breaks and will be certified and e-tested. The car looks amazing btw; still wondering what problems there could potentially be down the road.

Those are high miles...and with any car the higher the miles more problems you will experience because it's just like an elderly person compared to a teen...elderly person will have way more problems than a teen no matter how well they take care of themselves. BUT then again 10K is not bad...is that what they are asking or what you negotiated?? No matter if you are satisfied with the asking price ALWAYS, ALWAYS negotiate. http://www.negotiationdynamics.com/Newcar.asp Also check carfax, take it to an 3rd party mechanic or infiniti dealer and have them inspect it.

My true opinion, if you simply cannot afford more than 10K, don't buy a G35.. if you like the car but can only afford 10K or are looking to pay real cheap, maintenance, parts, etc will come back to bite you.. save up get a better car IMO.. looks aren't everything, that care can look GREAT, it's all about the machanical aspect of it.

Also look at www.kbb.com and see what the value on there is.

Good luck

What you said makes sense to me. Thank you for taking the time to reply back and for the helpful links. I won't be purchasing the car. The owner has now customized the dash adding a touch screen cd/dvd/mp3 player and increased the asking price by 500$. An addition that I am not interested in. On to the next car.

SwivelHips,
I'm in Ontario. Came across another '03 G35 with 171,000Km asking $12,000. I think the Kms are too high and it is too old.

it's too high the mileage


all the G's seem to be around 17000 for '03 and the '05 are around 23000
the value is a bit lower than that.

there's a ton more G's in Ontario than Quebec

I know I'm captain obvious, but.. an 03 could be 6-7 years old. A lot of things could go wrong in that period. If you don't have a friend who runs a shop or know how to fix things yourself, those repairs can add up quickly. Many of us Nissan owners are used to being nickeled and dimed by the dealership for various things.

yup, too old and too many miles. Unless we have someone to tell us that infiniti's are so reliable that they will last until 200k without a hiccup, you are bound to get a lot of headaches with that car/ Look for a fresher 2006~2007 with 25~35 k miles
