Hi everyone! I'm very close to buying a 2006 g35 coupe sort package with fully loaded. It's liquid platinum in colour. It only has 81000km or 50000 miles for you Americans. It's been maintained perfectly and has brand new tires. After taxes and everything the total will be $21500 which seems fair enough for me given the low km and condition. Now I currently work full time and make $1800 a month. In September ill be going to school for 6 months to get my electrical apprenticeship started. After ill be working full time again for a year until school starts again. I'm just wondering if these cars have any expensive problems in general that are common. Normal maintenance is find and understandable. But I'm talking about electrical or mechanical problems.

Thanks
Steve

 

No common issues that are expensive you should be good

 

Sounds like a winner.

Off top of my head look at the coupe subsection as there's a sticky in regards to 6MT's having oil consumption issues. Think sport package'd G35's are mostly 6MT's IIRC. Maybe window motors but that's minor IMO. Prob be a good idea to scour the subforums and the Infiniti TSB list to see what's applicable to your year/model.

Cover your bases by getting it checked out by a shop/biz in a pre-purchase inspection, get reports by carfax and/or autocheck, and see if the price is in line with what other local CL/Ebay/Autotrader sale prices are at.


Don't feel pressured by anyone to buy immediately or at their price only. Generally IMO sellers need buyers more than the other way around when it comes to used car transactions.

Good luck.

 

1800/month for a car that costs this much? Are you sure you want to do this?

At <24k / year, you should not be driving a car that retails for more than your yearly income... anything goes wrong and you can't save your car. Fuel & insurance might eat you alive here in Canada.
