2003 G35 - Am I overpaying?

Hello,

Just looking into buying a mint 2003 G35, red, 9/10 condition with only 35k miles.

Only problem, seller wants close to 15k.

Does this seem too high?

Thanks,

It really depends. Seems high for a car that old but that is pretty low mileage. What kind of package does it have? Brembos, Navigation, wheels, mods?

If its fully loaded with sports package and the car is 10/10 overall then yes fair price but I would never oay that for an 03 I did pay that 2 years ago for an 05.

A sedan? Yes

Coupe...depends on the options. I personally would have issue with paying 15K for a 11-12 year old car unless it was a low-mileage garage queen that I intended on doing the same with.

What do you plan on doing with this car? Daily driving it? Weekend car? If a daily driver, i'd look for a clean car with a bit more miles on it and lower your price a tad.

Looking for more of a weekend car.

It a coupe with the sport package. Premium wheels, leather, gps etc.

I am still having a hard time paying $15k for a 11 year old car. I had found another with only 41k, but the seller only wanted $11.5. Too bad he sold it.

What would a car like this be worth? Or what would be a fair price?

Thanks,

It's worth what someone is willing to pay. (i know that's a cop out answer)

I'm with you though, I have a hard time paying $15K for an 11 year old car (or 12 if it's a 2002 build)

11-12K is prob the max that *I* would pay

A coupe is worth more than some "Granny Sedan!" lmao

If it makes you happy offer him $1K less! That is very low mileage for an '03 and if it's in mint condition worth $14K. It should also come with all it's service records...Gary

Let's be honest there are many cars on the market. You can find another with more miles in your price range. I would not spend $15k for it... early G37 coupes are creeping into that price range.

I am not sure of the point of paying the premium for that low of miles. The car is already 11+ years old and if you are only driving it on the weekends you won't put many miles on it and probably want a new toy before miles really even add up. I would save some money and find a garage queen with a few more miles and save some money. Unless you plan on keeping it for a long time. Just driving on the weekends you are lucky to put 5k/yr on it so it will take 10+ years to even reach 100k.
