Smile Newbie: Buying a 2004 G35 Coupe, needs advice

Hi all,

This is my first post here. I am looking to buy a 2004 G35 coupe, 6-speed, 18 inch. this month.
I would like to know if there any reliability issues (heard something about the brembo brakes), anything special to avoid or must haves etc.

Thank you.

if i were you, i would look for 05 with higher miles. (warranty is up to 60,000 mi.) i think the change from 04 to 05 was a significant improvement.

The Brembos are not an issue. There is an extended warranty on the standard brakes, but not the Brembos. They do dust a lot, but the modulation, feel and fad resistance is top notch. When they are ready for replacement, however, the parts cost is high. I guess, you get what you pay for.

Look for a low mileage car that has not been abused. The only interior feature I really miss, I have an '03, is power recline and memory of the driver's seat back.

However, you may be able to find a left over '05 for a good price if you look around. Coupes hold their value very well, and you may do almost as well with a new car.

I have a Twilight Blue/Graphite 6MT '04 with only 9600 miles. Loaded, including NAV. I'm in VA. Check on autotrader.com under the 24551 zip if interested. Asking under KBB private party, and I'm even slightly negotiable from that.

Mine will be sold this weekend for $30,750 if all goes according to plan. That seemed fair enough.
