so...

local used dealer has a 05 DG 6mt with the premium wheels and it's pretty much my dream car. interior is like new. only 32K miles, wants 21900, but i've already got him down to 20 and some change.

he's gotta fix the hinges (bent), the roof is getting repainted cause i was complaining about some spots and they burned thru the clear trying to buff them out. DOH.

the front bumper has been repainted, but i think i will probably get an aftermarket at some point. and it's got the factory wing on the back too...

wheels have some curb bite and they are getting "refinished" which is fine, cause again...i'll probably get some aftermarkets further on down the road.

i'm thinking about taking it to the local infiniti dealer and having them do a "used car inspection" on it. their service lady said they do it to all the trades they bring in. $105. think i should do it?

i have a 2010 dodge ram 1500 laramie with only 8600 miles that i'm gonna try and get rid of....if i trade it in...i lose $1500 plus my down payment of 5K and my trades which they valued at 6k, but i don't think i would have gotten that out of them. anyway i'm debating on whether to try and sell the beast myself which would obviously get me more money, but i don't really wanna let this G slip away. they would give me 28500 for my ram, but i think i could probably get at least 32/35 for it, even with gas where it is. which would obviously allow me to pay my truck off and make a little bit of a down payment.

i recently got a service truck at work that will serve as my daily driver and they also pay for the fuel...shazam! so this G will be garaged unless i'm out playin in it.

the dealer did an autocheck on it...it scored a 99. and according to this site, autocheck seems to be favored....but i think the infiniti dealer would be pretty quick to let me know if stuff is wrong.

thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.

For reference I picked up an 06X Premium C+Nav with 26K miles last May (2010) for $18,900 + TTL. Car was in clean condition minus some chipping on rear bumper (around the license plate), some minor issues on front bumper.

Also autocheck doesn't really mean anything. My car had a clean autocheck and a carfax but when I recently got in a minor rear end collison, the body shop advised me that the car was in an accident at some point. Relatively minor but still an accident none the less. It's only as good as what is reported.

Granted my information is for an AWD sedan but still can be used for a reference point. If you're unsure on what to check for, an inspection would be a good idea. Preferably a 3rd party inspection company who has nothing to gain from you buying or not buying the vehicle.

 

Hey Hawk, that price is a little high still. I would try for around $15 grand.
