Hello Members,

I have taken extensive pictures and video of a vehicle that i saw today but unfortunately the dealer was closed so no TEST DRIVE. Please inspect all that you see and tell me what looks out of place. Overall the car is in very good condition pending a test drive. I ensured the car had the CD009 transmission AKA MONEY SHOT. The bushing on the compression rod looks split or needs attention. The front bumper has some rock chips along with the hood. The rear bumper has couple scratches and one deep scratch. Tires in the rear are 40% and the front is 60%. I see new rotors and pads had plenty of life on them so brakes were good. I see the red shocks for the sport suspension which is stock on 6mt. Please give me all your input on what you think and hopefully this pictures will come useful to other members needing work on there car. Please check the rust in the rear differential and axles along with exhaust...any worries???

Holy 4X4 Batman, that ish is high! It's hard for me to imagine my car looked like that at one time.

Question, the dealer was closed but the car was unlocked? Also, why no pictures of the engine? Looks to have the sport, premium, and aero packages and also has aftermarket rotors on the front. The rust on the axles is no big deal and overall the car looks to be in really good condition as a whole. Hard to tell anything else from pictures, my advice to anyone who is buying used is to have a reliable mechanic check it out before you commit to buying it. Any reputable dealer will let you take it to get that done, or you can schedule a mobile mechanic to go to the car wherever it is and perform the same service.

 

No engine bay shots lol, thats not 100 point!

Take the dipstick out and look for sludge in the hole and on the dipstick.


Cool Premium Sports, 6mt G sedan, No tech package though

 

No tech package available on the 05-06 to my knowledge. If you are talking about navigation, it was a stand alone option.

 

^ Yes there is lol, I have it which comes with the ikey and some other stuff, I forget.

 

Probably took quite sometime to take all those pictures. The car looks in great shape. How many miles?

 

iKey wasn't available with the 6MT, dunno why. You're probably thinking of the Premium package, which included Bose, autodimming mirror, etc.

 

Looks pretty clean from the pictures. Just they few dents and chips in the front and rear bumpers. I would bring the car to an infiniti dealership and have them take a look at it for $50. I had my dealer do that for mine and they pointed out everything, it was really helpful. Otherwise, just gotta take her for a drive and see how she runs.

 

Yes it was wierd to take all these pictures when the dealer was closed. While i was there i pushed the trunk button in and the trunk popped open....so i was like hmmmm....lets take more pictures. I was afraid to mess around with engine since if i ruin the dipstick or something then i am liable. I am sure what i was doing was trespassing so i was not interested. I also figured the dealer did an oil change when he got it so it would already be full. I have attached the dealer picture of the engine but more will follow soon.

The infiniti dealer is across the street and i will be pulling a full service history on it. I plan to go in to the dealer and test drive and use a laundry list full of issues with the car to lower the price where i am comfortable. Overall the car looks very clean and just needs little bit of touchup and care.

I am looking at Sedan 6mt with less than 90k miles and a good service history. I don't care too much for Bose or even dual climate or bluetooth. I normally use a Carputer to take care of media/navigation front end. The dual climate control comes with premium package which is nice but not neccessary. I will give up all features for a SOLID ENGINE/CD009 Tranny.


Engine Bay Shot (From the dealer not me)




Edit: Can someone please inspect this bushing looks like LCA and tell me if it is worn out. Also the compression rod bushing looks split

 

Sorry bro, intelligent key was part of the Premium package B. This was taken from infinitihelp.com:

Technology package didn't show up until the 2nd gen models came out. It included things like the intelligent cruise control and other features, lol.

 

^lol my b, thanks for the correction.

 

No worries.

 

where is the front lip? possible front end collision?

 

Can anyone confirm this the front lip is missing from the AERO kit. I would like to use that as a negotiation tools and it is obvious the passenger side the bumper was hit lightly and the grill covers on the lower popped off. Any other input would be appreciated as i am heading to the dealer soon.

thanks

 

There would be holes drilled in the bumper if it originally had a lip on it.

Maybe they just got the sport and opted to purchase mudguards. My sport did NOT come with a front lip yet had a spoiler.

Or maybe the front bumper got destroyed in an accident and they painted a new bumper but couldn't buy a (now discontinued) front lip.

Or
