Hard to find a G35 coupe now...

Worth getting a G35 now?
I've been in love with the G35/G37 ever since i first saw one. I found an 06 G35 online with 55k miles but it was really the only decent one out of all the others which ranged from 03-07 with mileage above 65k. This got me thinking, is it really worth it? The 06 model will be 10 years old in just three years. The G37's are still rather expensive unless you can find an 08 one with 50k or so miles but i've only seen two posted online with those stats. I planned on keeping the G35 for at least 3-4 years but the fact that its almost a decade old really turns me off...even though i still love the design...
Is it still worth to get one? Or should i wait and save up for a G37?

Age doesn't mean much if it has been taken care of. What are you worried about with age? Mechanical problems? Because I see cars from the 90s still driving everywhere with no signs of giving up.
Concerned about the car looking outdated? Impossible. The G35 is beautiful, and most beautiful designs stay that way over time. Look at the classic & iconic american cars, and even the classic Ferraris.
There's no reason age should turn you off (with cars at least), 2006 is still fairly new. My 2005 G35 is in great shape, and I maintain it meticulously, and I've gotten people coming up to me thinking it's a 2013 model.
In other words, I say go for it if the price is right.

The 35 coupe is a pretty 'timeless' design. It just looks good.
Cars generally are made of a much higher quality than twenty years ago. I wouldn't sweat that the car will fall apart from age.

I've also read a few topics on here about people mentioning their high mileage G's.

I think it goes beyond just being a timeless design. What I like is that you can take the car's design and massage it into completely different directions. If you want to go low and sexy, no problem. If you want to tone up the luxury look and feel, no problem, if you want more sporty than luxury, no problem. If you want to totally rice it out, please buy something else. The thing is, it lends itself to being tweaked in different directions from pure street to pure track quite easily.

One of the reasons I bought a G was because of this site. There's a lot of after market stuff for these cars and tons of DIYs. So like someone above said you can take the G in different directions look wise and with a little common sense work on your own car saving you money( that goes right back in to aftermarket stuff).

Hard to find a G35 coupe now...
At least the specific one im looking for. I've been checking cars.com almost everyday but i still see the same postings or very little new ones that arent what i want (06-07 OB/IP exterior with black interior, less than 60k miles). Am i doing it wrong? The dealers around me dont have any G35's so im mostly checking online to see if any are available. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Do more used cars pop up around the end of the year?
