Hello guys,

I am thinking about buying a G35X....I was wondering if G35x with high miles would be reliable? I dont drive that much and they guy said most of the miles are highway driving. I thought it was a pretty good deal but at the same time I dont want it break down on me. I am thinking about buying an extended powertrain warranty. would that cover most of the problems?

 

Powertrain warranty is not available for a car with that many miles.

 

actually i did some reasearch and there are some companies offer "powertrain plus" warranty on cars with 118k miles....the question is....is that enough to cover the problems I might have with high miles car?

 

Read those extended warranties carefully. Often times, they're not worth the money you pay for them. I've researched them before... For example, you might pay $1600 for a powertrain warranty that caps you at $2000 for trans issues, and $2500 for engine issues, so was it really worth your money?

Anyway, about the car...That mileage is pretty high, but for the right price, any car is a good car...I'd say pay no more than $11K-12K for it. You can get one around here with half the mileage for $14K-15K now....

 

I would by a RWD car with that many miles, but I would be real leery of a AWD.

 

Pay like, 3 grand more and get one with half the miles, TRUST ME.

 

I would avoid one with that many miles, it is AWD, and the car will need repairs... also think of it for a few thousand you can get a car with 60K or so... and if you go RWD you will save more money...

 

What's the asking price?

 

yea pay a bit more and get a g35x with like 40-50miles..just search autotrader,craigslist!

 

the asking price is 13,500. I figured I can bargin down more because I dont think a lot of people is interested in the car because of the high milage. I probably wont pay more than 9k for this thing. If I cant get it for 9k, I would go for something with less miles.

 

also i cant get a RWD because i live in the northeast and the stupid weather...

 

id get it for 9-10k tops... theres plenty on here for a deal

 

I'd say no. If you shop around I'm sure you can get a better deal for something within your budget with half the mileage.

I live in Minnesota and am in the process of buying a RWD G comming out of an 04 X.

The X is a beast in the snow, but honestly, if you can find a RWD for less money, get it. WIth some snow tires, im sure it will be fine. (Well, thats atleast what everyone says. Shane is up there in Canada with a RWD..)
