I currently have a 2004 Mazda GT RX8 and selling it!

Found a 2004 G35 black in black with 37000 miles on it with one year of Power train on it, for $17800! But it has the Brembo brake and nav on it. I like the Brembo and nav!

2005 G35 Black on black with 44000 miles on it. half a year on the bumper to bumper and two year on the power train. no brembo or nav on it. I like the REV motor! price is $18900!

What are the good and the bad about both?
Witch one should I pick up??
Help please!

 

05 and up you will never find any with brembo. Thats an option for 03-04 MT. As for nav you can always put a double din kit in.

Id go for the 05. Newer still has some warranty and has rev up motor.

 

Id go with the 04. Has lower miles, brembos, and navi. The 05's do not come with brembos.

 

You'd be better off going with the 05 if its a manual it has the revup motor more top end and 500 rpm higher redline. it also responds better to mods and lets not forget the 2 years powertrain your getting opposed to the 1 year

 

I liked the seats in the 04 better, that's why I got an 04.
Normally, I say get the newest, lowest mileage, but between those two, I would go with the 04 and save some money too!

 

I would go for the 04 for the lower mileage and the brembos alone. Nav is also a nice bonus though.

 

Thats about what I paid for an 04 (41k mileage) loaded mt WITH NAV/Brembo..But tacked on 3k for a 5 yr bumper to bumper then taxes and financing.

 

04!
but then again the 05 has a better interior and the revup
tough ohe
GL

 

its a tough choice... the navi sucks( i have it) so it doesnt sway me in anyway. And i still loke 03-04 interior better.. BUT brembos vs rev up.... which is cheaper to upgrade?

I would probably go for the 04 with brembos.

 

Do the seat feel the same to you???
I test drove 05-07's and would have bought one, but could not get comphy in the seats....
My local Nissan dealer got a low mileage white 04 in and my wife liked it and we test drove it. I noticed that it did not bother my hamstrings like the 05-07.
We decided to to get it and was driving up the the dealership when we saw the new owner pulling out of the parking lot....
So, after that, I started looking at 04's.
Anyway, take both for an extended drive. Maybe it's just me....

 

i say 05...cus of the warranty. god forbids anything happens.but its nice to know u have that...

there's a 1k difference in price...

you can always add BBK kits, etc...but a dealership repair/paid for/or alteast covered is worth more than being SOL with a broken car..

also unless u got hookups at shops/performance shops etc...where u can save on parts n labor, i'd say 04 with the brembos..

 

I heard that the 2004 has more problem and the 2005 is the better with more power. I might go with the 05. I want the power and the gauges are better.

 

Im going to miss the Cornering, quick turns, and feather weight RX8, but going to love the G's Power!

 

Plus's of 05: rev-up , half year bumper to bumper, just so you known 05 - 06 are more prone to OC issues...
Plus's of 04: brembos, lower mileage, save $$$, and still have powertrain warranty
