So I found a 2004 G35 sedan for sell for 7000. it has 109,000 I want to buy it. but i herd that if the timing chain or water pump goes out it is very expensive to fix. i just want to know how many problems i can run in to. i atleast want to drive it for another 50,000. without having a huge issue. i had my mechanic check the car out & he said it was well kept. should i buy it or is it gonna be a money pit???

 

i had an 03 sedan and it wasnt until it reached 180k miles that got an issue to the control arm but that was due to going over a huge pothole on the freeway

 

Take it to a mechanic and see what he says. Not much can be said about a car based off its age and mileage. Some people take care of their cars and perform the necessary PM and others don't.

 

If your mechanic checked it in person what do expect us who have never seen it to say?!
You already got your answer

 

Agreed. My car was a company car before I had it, no good. You shouldn't have any issues with the motor at all, just little things such as exhaust rattles, wheel bearings, bushings, emissions evap codes, all of which are not too hard or expensive to fix.

 

Thanks guys i think im going to get the car. the guy has kept it in great condition. it has a good car fax & he showed me all the maintenance records. Going to the bank monday to get the money!
