i am looking for 04 G35 with manual transmission with my budget 13k.

if you with the budget 13k, what G(model) do you prefer? Will you choice an old model with 6mt or automatic transmission? ( i consider that some people say the drivers who with 6mt, probably they would abuse the car more than aotumatic)

im confuse between the 04 6mt with the 05up aotumatic. which will be good for keep a longer?


any advise? i live in NY. thx

Sedans will offer you more choices with low mileage. Coupes are notorious for holding their value.

 

my broter has 08G35x sedan already..that's why i wanna get a coupe.lol. i like the coupe's exterior style and the exhaust.

 

You can definitely find coupes. But they will be 03/04 and more than likely over 100K miles. Unless you find a private owner who is selling and you already have the cash in. Cash is KING and you can probably talk a 16K-17K listed car down to 13K. Not many ppl buying 8-9 yr old cars for that price straight cash. I recommend looking all over the country. The east coast has a pretty good used car demand so the prices are usually higher over here and even more so upstate where you are. You may find something 500+ miles away and it could make more sense to just hop on a plane and fly out then drive the car home.

 

You can always say out the door for 13k. Did you find any so far?

 

Thanks for your advice. Base on my research that 13k can bid many 03/04 g35 coupe with the mileage around 70k-80k in auction in NJ. But I focus on 04 manual with brembo, must with black interior around 70-80k miles. I don’t want a car over 100k mileage and avoid the 05-07 model oil consumption. If I don’t wanna get a manual, I will prefer the 05 up.

 

not yet.lol

 

where have you been searching?

 

one of my friends who is a dealer in auction. he shows me some average price

 

I am pretty sure you can find a g35 coupe under 13k. year 2003-2005 probably.
might be around 100k+ or so. and depending on what packages you want.

have you tried your local dealer? autotraders?

 

no, i just look up the autotrader,car.com and craigslist. but most of them are automatic transmission.

 

Last year I got my 2005 g35 coupe 6speed the car had 85000 on the body and had a new motor gear box and clutch with 25000 on em all put in by dealer under warranty ingot the car for 12500 was the deal of a life time the car ha predict paint same for the interior love my g
