I have a 2006 g35 sedan with only 25k miles on it. All options except AWD and Sport package.

I put 5100.00 down, 320.56 for 39 months, with a residual of 20,493 for a total of ( if I decide to keep it ) 38036.84

The MSRP was 37,600 and the cap cost (agreed upon value) was 36069,00.

So.. I can buy this thing in a few months for 20,493 or turn it back in and look for something else.

What do you guys all think?? I wouldn't want to spend more than 22k on any car I end up with. I could get some decent cars for that, but the mileage is going to be higher, and some options I have now might not be there on something else.

Plus I know how this one was taken care of. I have 2300 invested (if you can call it that) in wheels/tires as well.

 

FYI..I just bought a 2006 g35x with everything but nav and sports pkg for 19K. It had 21k miles. Excellent condition.

 

Sooo.. mine has nav and aftermarket wheels/tires w/ 25k miles on it. To sell it just to try and get all the options mine has, in as good as condition as mine is in isn't worth even saving 2k if the goal is to keep this car for 5-7 years.

Hmmm....

 

Chill out Mr/Mrs. realtor. I was just trying to give you some real market statistics to help you make a decision.

 

OH NO... shoot... I didn't mean it like that. I was simply talking out loud so anyone else that came along could here what I was thinking and chime in accordingly. Trying to reason with myself is all.

Really... no offense or "snobby attitude" intended.

I should have complimented you on the price you got yours for as from what I've seen in my area that is a good price.

Thanks very much for your input!

And... it's MR. Realtor....

 

I am in the same boat and trolling the forum right now for this. I have several thousand in bolt ons, brand new skins on the wheels, and I know how it was taken care of too. I have 33K on the car. It runs mint, looks brand new, runs high 13s in the 1/4 mi, and has the best looking *** of any car on the market...outside of memory seats and an ipod/mp3 jack it has it all, and I can live w/the seats and use a wirelss connector for the ipod...so I am leaning more and more into spending about $2k more than I could, but saving all the labor of deinstalling all the parts I have, losing out on selling them or having to deal with reinstalling them, and that does not include the mega hassle of finding a new car.
