05 g35x sedan Serengeti Sand

Was wondering what you guys think, its an 05 g35x sedan at a dealer in serengeti sand color I believe, it has 82000 miles and is pretty much mint except a few things. Got them down to 10000. Too high? Was looking for a lower mileage but cant find one near me, I have an fx35 and for the most part its been pretty reliable, this will be my everyday driver. Any input? Thanks in advance.

yeah doesn't sound so bad to me as long as it's in good shape
And color wise I love SS. Pretty rare and with the right exterior mods it can quickly be that subtly aggressive car with its classy color. I'm a sucker for more OEM+ style mods but that besides the point

Thanks for the input bros, I am supposed to go take another look tomorrow and probably will pick it up. Looking forward to owning a g35. Was hesitant on the color because i am so used to silver, but you guys are giving me good feedback, I really havent seen this color around either.

There is a thread in media share/pictures dedicated to it.

IS it a base model? Premium? Navi?

9-10K would be about right. If it's a base model i'd lean moe towards 8500-9000 and if it had premium/navigation i might be willing to swing to $10K although it's pretty dated.

Excuse my incompetence but how would I be able to tell the premium package, it doesn't have navigation. I know it doesn't have the sport rims, just the regular 7 spoke. Thanks.
also would someone be able to tell me if this has a snow button standard, all I saw was a vdc button.

A few easy ways to tell a base model from a Premium....

The HVAC controls has a DUAL button for the dual zone on the Premium cars


Few other differences, but thats quick and easy.


SNOW button is located by your right knee. All AWD models have it.

Thanks! It does have dual zone. And I found the snow button. I went to look at it yesterday and heard a belt noise, so I left it there and they replaced both belts. I will probably pick it up today.

If they changed both belts, the belt noise may come back after a week or so. What i found was that after replacing the belts, they would stretch a tad over the next week or too and squeal slightly.

I'd just have to go under the car and snug them up a bit more and i was good to go for 50K miles or whenever i'd change them again.

Good luck
