1) search, it's been covered before and very recently
2) put your flame suit on for mentioning you're 16

I hope that's kms and your parents are rich.

I'm 18 and I am going to be driving a sedan because the cost of insurance on a coupe.....well lets say I could buy a coupe with the money I'd spend on insurance in the 3 years.

Wait 9 years, or buy a sedan.

Get ready to spend some money. I got an '04 with 49k miles for about $15,000 on a 4 year loan. It's not a cheap venture because it's a luxury car. Being 16, I don't know if this is a good first car for you, but hey, I'm only 18, so what the hell.

If you do end up buying one, take care of it and it will take care of you. Correct gas, not driving it like hell, and just routine care will let you keep it for a while. The VQ engines have been rated in the list of top 10 Vehicle Engines in Car and Driver up until 2009 since they have been out, which is some time in the early '90s. Henceforth, the engines are well made and are great, just take care of it.

Age doesn't matter, it comes with the price. G's are getting really affordable now.
Just drive it and make sure its drives right, take to a mechanic if you're that worried and check the carfax. Most reputable dealers provide service records and a carfax.

why buy an old G with high mileage instead of an old G with low mileage? im a big fan of buying older cars with low mileage because their price is still wayyyyyy cheaper than a newer car, but in terms of reliability they are like a new car!

example, i got my 03 G with 14,000 miles on it last summer for $18.5

with the economy the way it is now... i dont even want to think about how cheap it would be now!

get low mileage then you don't have to worry about things as long as you take care of it
