Whats up guys, name's Chris. I am a huge fan of this community and the G Coupe and am excited to soon be joining the forum not only as a G enthusiast but also as a G driver but I need your help. (I find myself on here more often than Facebook and I dont even have the G yet!!)

I am in the market for a coupe from 03-05 but mainly focusing on 04-05. I went on cars.com and pretty much narrowed down my choices to 3 according to my budget (Max 15k). Here are the links:

1) 2005 5AT DGM Coupe w/ Rays, Spoiler, Nav (Fully Loaded) $12,995
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...acktype=usedcc

I am a bit hesitant to buy this because of the navigation although to me its the top choice and the cleanest looking. I plan on installing an aftermarket audio system (with backup camera and the works) and I hear that if the car has Navi it becomes a bit more difficult because you would have 2 screens and you could lose some AC Controls. (Im not 100% sure, but thats why I'm here asking for help). The NAV is the only thing stopping me from buying this car.

Here is the VIN in case someone can help me out and has unlimited Carfax/Autocheck reports: JNKCV54E25M407351

2) 2004 5AT DGM Coupe w/ Spoiler $11,900
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...acktype=usedcc

Right now Im leaning towards this one because it looks really clean. Rims dont matter to me since I plan on getting new ones anyway. Its just a normal G coupe and it is ideal because I wouldnt have any problem installing the sound system.

Again, Here is the VIN in case someone can help me out and has unlimited Carfax/Autocheck reports:JNKCV54EX4M812324

3) 2003 5AT DGM Coupe w/ Nav & Aftermarket OEM Spoiler $13,900 (3rd Brake Light doesnt look flush to me)
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...acktype=usedcc

The reason why I have this option is because of the lower miles...this one has 57xxx miles on it while the other 2 have almost double. Again its just another average G Coupe.

Heres the VIN: JNKCV54E83M219804

Sorry for the really long post guys but I know you guys appreciate detail when a newbie is asking questions. Obviously I am a fan of DGM coupes lol. But I also want to include what i plan on upgrading in this car so that you guys can implement that into your feedback and take it into consideration. Just to let you know I am not about racing and speed (although I may use it just to listen to the VQ purr) but more about looks and aesthetics which is why I went with the G.

Upgrades:
Wheels and Tires
Sound System (x920bt HU w/ speakers and 2 Amps)
Darker Tint
06+ headlight and tailight

Thats all I can think about now. But I am very open to suggestions.
I am proud to be apart of the community (not fully YET but soon lol). I appreciate in advance the help you guys give me and congrats on being such a successful community. Thanks again.

 

i`d definitely take a look at the 3rd G that you put up cause that is half the mileage that the first 2 have. anything wrong with it? $13.9k is a pretty good deal if you can get it. Plus he already has a few upgrades and you wont have to spend money to upgrade the headlight and taillights in the future. GL with finding the perfect G bro!

 

Thanks man...thats a great point but like I said the navigation is holding me back since I want to install a good sound system and I heard its a problem with factory navigation on it. You can tell by looking at the buttons on his dash that it has navigation.

 

ahhh thats true. well i mean still, i would still go for the G with less miles since it`s a car you will be driving for awhile. less mileage to me is worth more then installing a good sound system since all you have to do is find someone who knows how to work around with the stock navi

 

That is very true my friend...everybody else is saying the same thing.

 

I agree^

 

Go with less miles, i notice you are from the bronx. What part? I am from the BX, but I am in Cali now due to work.
