05 Infiniti G35 coupe for $24k - worth it?

My buddy is picking up a 05 G coupe with 22k miles or so, black, auto, supposedly has everything but nav. He knows I wanted one and is offering it to me for same price. Should I go for it? $24k is pretty good for a 05 coupe even with the 22k miles. I haven’t seen it myself, but assuming everything is in good shape do you guys think I should bite? I got a semi "ok" from the wife, and the guy is selling for 24k because he's a student and heading back to korea this week or next.

what exactly should there be if its suppose to have everything but Nav?

thanks

he probably means it has both the premium package and the sport package. and HELL YEAH its worth it bro are you kidding?! I just bought an 05, auto, premium and sport packages, and it had 17,500 miles on it when I got it on monday,( it has closer to 18050 now, lol ) anyway, i payed 32k for mine so i'd say 24 thousand is f'ing worth it.

you can go to the infiniti website and try building a car, although they only have '06. not quite sure if all the options are the same.

24k is way low, base on what you told us, if the car has no scratches or accidents. it's worth around 30k

Make sure you have a mechanic do a full check on it before you buy it. good luck.

I would go for it. As long as there are no problems the dealer won't warranty then you are in good shape.

I'll agree with others said. The price is amazing, but that makes me nervous.

Get the car thoroughly checked out.
