Nice, where in pa?
I had to look for a while, most cars ended up being at least 1 hour from me.
How much are you looking to spend? I had a hard time finding sub 30k mileage cars for a reasonable price. I had a guy looking at the auctions for me, I could hook you up with him, he was a pretty straight up guy.
Cpu, i know there were a lot of cars listed on the car sites (in the long island city ny area) but I honestly shy away from dealers in philly, nyc, etc. One dealer who had a bunch listed for really low prices didn't seem too legit to me.

Hey,
I'm from PA as well and have been looking for a 05 or up g35coupe. Wow, how far are you driving to get this baby? It seems to me in order to get good deals you have to go pretty far.
I've been looking in the tri-state area but honestly I'm not finding any great deals here. If you guys have any tips on searching for an 05-06 manual with low mileage thats under 20k lemme know. I'd really appreciate it. I'm willing to go on a roadtrip to find one
Good luck with the car dude. I hope everything works out.

That's why I'd like to find a private seller or an Infiniti dealer.

I'm in Philly. I've been looking and I've never really found the good deals that people talk about on here.
My budget used to be $15k but I realized I wouldn't find a low mileage 05-06 with that. So now its grown to around 18. I wanna get one with warranty cuz of the oil consumption issue but I realize as more time passes, there will be fewer and fewer 05s with warranty on them so I'm leaning more towards the 06s now. If the car is in good shape then I'm willing to stretch my budget. I'm happy with anything under 30k miles. O and it has to be 6MT
Yea I also know someone who goes to auctions but the prices he's seeing atleast at his auctions are outta my range. Maybe your contact has a better chance. I appreciate the help.
And yea don't get me started on NY dealers. KG Suzuki anyone?

Yeah, I'm willing to drive 3 hrs max.
I'm really surprised there aren't better deals in the Philly area.
I suggest checking out NY - Long Island, NY City, and the surrounding area. I found quite a few up there.
Try cars.com with a large radius (150 miles). This works pretty well, but I found a ton more looking on craigslists in those major cities.
I know how you feel though, the tri-state area has quite a drought of g35's...

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I think you are looking at a pretty good deal if the car was maintained properly. An Infiniti dealer will be able to check all services done at any dealer in the country. Also, when I bought my car in March, the independent (not Infiniti) dealer I worked with was able to pull up service records on my Maxima and see what was done to it. I believe he was accessing Nissan records, not sure how he did that.
Still, the price seems very fair if all checks out.
