which of the TWO...good finds.

So found 2 g35 coupes for sale. check them both out and tell me which one you would choose and why??

The 05 is nice cuz it will have the rev up engine but also comes with the oil consumption possibly. A big plus also is i love the red exterior.

The 04 is nice cuz its cheaper with less miles and might not have oil consumption problems. I think right??

They both seem like good cars.. I'm not a fan of red, so i would probably choose the DG.

What about reasons why you would choose, from the brembos being too pricey to have or the oil consumption problem, or is it worth it to have the rev up motor?? Also would those 2 be the same body wise and exterior and interior?

Im not sure what your budget is, but have you looked at any 2006 coupes? That way you get the projector headlights and different tail lights, sport bumper.
But if you are really set on those two, Id get the DG and put the OEM wheels back on.

I could just buy the 06 tails and headlights and swap them out right? Is it an easy swap or more to it?? Edit- nvm i found the answer. pretty much plug and play i guess.

So just talked to the guy with the DG coupe and he said it was involved in a minor accident about a year ago. he sent me lots of pics and it looks like it wasnt too bad. Ill post some pics up. Also the guy said hes a mechanic so he has records of work hes done to it. Still a clear title after the accident also the damage was repaired with a lifetime warranty on all the work.

So the 05 g35 isnt worth it, even with the rev up motor? the 04 would still be the better deal???

If your concerned about the oil consumption the G probably isn't the car for you, after all how much is a quart of oil?

not concerned about the oil consumption so much and i dont mind having to buy oil. but would the 05 with the rev up be worth the extra money and also considering its got a lil bit more mileage.

If they sell the DG at 15000 i would talk him down a lot if you have to fix that yourself. The Red one looks better just keep you eye on the oil and you'll be fine.
