I am looking at a 05 G35 Sedan 6 speed manual with 19,000 miles... The dealership is asking $22,500. Is that a good deal?

The 335i is a superior car, there's no arguing that, but the G35 is still a great car.
There are a few things about the G35 I like better than the 335i.
1. Throttle response
The G35's throttle response is perfect to me. I'm not sure if it's a drive by wire system, but if it IS, every drive by wire system should feel like this. If it's NOT that's why I like it so much better than the 335i's drive by wire.
There is a throttle lag in the 335i.
It's like they manufactured in a "delay" in there. You just barely touch the gas pedal and nothing happens for a split second. It's annoying. It's less noticeable when in "sport" mode, where they quickened the throttle response, but it's still there.
2. Steering feel
Love the BMW's but the Bimmer's feels a bit heavy at times. I didn't spend the $1500 or whatever it is for the "active steering" system. Don't know anybody who has it either. But at low speeds the BMW's steering is a bit heavy.
The G35's feels more crisp and natural to me, and easier to use in low speed manuevers.
But to be honest, most everything else favors the BMW.
It's just a well made, well thought out car, that loves to be driven!
