06 g35 with 93k Miles Bad?

Iv been looking into g35s mainly 06+
2DR/6MT I found some with around 93,000 miles for $12-13,000 CAD. Clean titles, no mods. So my main question is 93k miles a lot or is it a good buy for $13k?

For only 10k and assuming it's in good to great condition that's not a bad deal

Get the appropriate engine tests done. This is not something you want to foot the bill for.

I'm going to take it to a mechanic and have him look at it. Engine tests as in ripping through the gears or computerised testing?

I'm the original owner of my 06 AT coupe and have about 133K miles on it. The engine and transmission have been extremely reliable.

Check for oil consumption.
Compression rods, ball joints on spindle, and lower control arms.
I replaced the same things he told you about six months ago.

Ask him his gas mileage; I had some sticking calipers (2) that caused me to get like 10 miles a tank, lol. I replaced three of them and mileage went back up to around 18. I also had a leaky radiator that I replaced. Ask him when the last time his rear diff oil was changed, brake fluid, and coolant.

It's pretty hard to check for oil consumption. About the only way you can do it is to fill the oil level and mark it with a pen. Then check after a week or so and measure the difference.

Saw the car, it was nice. Good condition, a little dirty but nothing I wasn't expecting. He did say that the clutch should get changed in the future. The brake rotors and calipers have a little rust but work fine. Little bit of cosmetic damage on the front bumper from stone chips and stuff. The release point is pretty high, is that gonna be a problem?

06 2dr/6mt with 145,000 km for $10K CAD

Good buy?
