Possible future owner here. Need some advice.


Greetings to all in the forums. I am currently checking out a used 2003 G35 Coupe Sport Pack. I looked at the car and I have some questions I need some help with.

1. I noticed that this car did not have any vin labels on the door, trunk lids, fenders etc and I was wondering if the G35 didn't have those on the 03 model. The car looked great I just could not find those or maybe I wasn't looking in the right place.

2. I was wondering if you more knowledgeable owner would guide me in the right direction with that matter so that I can make a decision on to whether this car is worth buying or not.

3. Any other things I should pay attention to or know about this particular car or model in terms of recalls or things of that sort.

Any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated and would surely help me in terms of making a good purchase/decision.

Thanks in advance.

Everything with buying a used car is about the same. These cars have electronics that run out 7-8 years into ownership, hopefully your small stuff was replaced.

You will find the VIN in the interior, on the dash by the drivers side front windshield on a plate that is the same color as the dash. You can read this standing outside the car by the front drivers mirror.

You will also want to check the engine VIN to make sure the car you are buying has the same vin as your car... No mystery switches I think it's on the block, also on the drivers side...

Make sure there is no rust and I wish you the best! Don't pay too much.

No vin numbers on doors, trunk or hood.Just on the dash for body and engine. Run the vin thru car fax or Infiniti to see if the car was maintained! Maintenance is very important!
