Price is too high for an 06, you can do better.

Mainly looking to see what you guys would pay for it, and lets be realistic also please I do live in Southern California so for some reason it seems like cars are more expensive haha. I know the askin price is way too much but would 10k or even 11k be better. Also I would be financing it.

Seems a bit high dude. I picked up an 03 g35 6mt with the Sports goodies at 10k about a year and a half ago. Only had 92k miles on it too

I know the price is high as i had stated before. all dealership asking prices will always be too high...But im askin when i go to the dealership and drive it and see if everything is ok how much would be a good offer. I was thinkin somewhere around 10k, is that realistic or what would be the highest you would go after tryin to negotiate with the dealer?

So just left the dealership and they said they wouldn't go down to 10500. And as I was writing this they called haha. Didn't go that low but said they could do 12000 plus taxes and fees. Told them its still too much. It's a nice car tho, test drive was good and it was maintained really good, all maintenance done at Infiniti dealerships.


Also what's a transmission overhaul?? Meaning they replaced parts in the tranny.

Transmission overhaul means the transmission was rebuilt.

You must admit it's a pretty clean LR coupe and the miles aren't bad for an '03. You could always make them an offer, all they can do is say no. You won't know until you try, Miller imports has been around for 50+ years....Gary

Always gonna be a better deal out there. And on this deal.... There will definitely be a sweeter deal there. That is a great ride but you'll find something better.

Tell them $11k including taxes and fees. Also keep in mind that the car will need some repairs sooner rather than later. Among them are brakes, timing belt (which is major and expensive) and water pump, how is the exhaust system. If you have a reliable independent shop, take it there before you buy it for an inspection (if they say no, walk away). The inspection might be $200 or so, but it will be worth it. Also many dealers will look up the service history by VIN. They can search for all repairs done there or not. How's the CarFax?

Good Luck

^^Our cars have timing chains, not belts and are usually good for the life of the motor.
