Didn't know anyone was still looking in the US these days, but here ya go....
ZIP already plugged in for you.
you just have to fake it... the ZIP is in N.Falls area, so it helps with distances.

Good luck

You can input a fictitious zip code, there are sites that will help with that (for example, ask for zip codes in Buffalo). Here's one:

If you're buying used, there is plenty of selection in the GTA, from dozens of dealers. You won't find any deals on used cars in the U.S. My parents live in Florida during the winter and my Dad has been looking down there for me. Prices for used vehicles in GTA are very competitive. Now if you're in the market for a new vehicle, the story is different. You will get a much better deal in the states, however you need to ensure the warranty will be honoured here in Canada. I don't know the answer to this question because each manufacturer has their own policies, but I'm sure you can do a quick search for this info. I just picked up an 04 G35 Sedan 6MT with 85K kms on it for $13,900 in Toronto - pretty hard to beat that price anywhere else. Do yourself a favour if buying used - ask the dealership for a Carproof (this service should be mandatory for all used car transactions). If the dealer won't provide one, you should be suspicious. If you really have your heart set on a G35 and the dealer won't give you a Carproof, then buy it yourself ($50 bucks). It's worth it! Good luck .....

your 6mt was $13,900??? that same car would go for at least $6k more out in vancouver. i guess the supply of 6mt sedans is plentiful in T.O.!

i do see some '03 AT sedans under $15k though...

Not sure what it's like in other parts of the country as my own market research focussed on the GTA, but coupes definitely fetch more money. They're drop-dead gorgeous and I'd have one if I didn't need four doors. I think the used car market here in Ontario is getting a little saturated with off-lease vehicles. Principles of supply and demand work every time!!

For sure - the average price of an 04 G35 in the GTA is approx 15 grand. Coupes are a little more. You can actually find an 05 G35x around that price as well, but they get scooped up fast. I wanted a 6 spd with AWD, but unfortunately that's not possible. I saved a few bucks with the 04, but if I waited till Spring I could have purchased an 05 for less than 15k. With the money I saved I'll put a new clutch in it, and a few small performance upgrades. Lots of selection out here - it's a feeding frenzy, with lots of competition. People just don't have the money for new wheels these days I guess.

I picked up my 04 Coupe 6MT last March for 21k never winter driven, its mint. I'd sell it today for 18k if I had too!

Hmmm, like I said in my previous post, I'd have a coupe if I didn't need four doors. Your price is about right for that type of vehicle. The more pristine it is, the more money it should fetch too. The 04 Coupes you see on Autotrader for 16 grand usually have some miles on them and need some type of servicing (don't they all I suppose)? Mine wasn't perfect, but the price was right.

Shilohap - I also happened to notice your location is Northern Ontario. Where exactly? In the Sudbury/North Bay area? I was looking around here for a shop to do work on the G35, but decided instead to travel back down south to Newmarket this week and have some work done at Simone's Performance Import (they come highly recommended by other G35 drivers on this forum).
