Hey guys im looking at buying a G35 coupe(2003-05 prob) within a few weeks. Just seeing if you FL guys could give me somethings to look for when buying one. I have meet a couple of you before i had the Black 240sx at Bob Evans a while ago. and me and Dan have drank a few beers before......

Oh yeah i sold the car....

 

sick zenki! i would stick with the newest g if possible - more stuff fixed and all that. 2003-4 manuals have brembos but the other brakes arent that much worse. 05 is when they redesigned the interior. 06 has new lights and stuff but you can always just swap the lights which are cheap now. so yea, go 05 if you can.

 

I personally don't think the interior "improvements" in the '05 are all that substantial or great.

Not to mention RevUps (05+) have more oil consumption issues than 03-04.

Considering these two things I'd go with an '04 because of the Brembos and the lack of problems initially in the '03 and oil consumption (at least much, much less likely) present in the '05+

 

yeah i have had my eye on a 04 Midnight Blue 6spd mt. 42k miles 19k $$$

 

warranty though.... everything is covered under warranty, you want a new one. There were more bugs in the older ones than in the new ones, and you can get cool things kile keyless entry and blutooth and all that stuff. The brakes are like 98% as effiicent, and the TSB is out for the oil consumption so the worst that could happen is you get a new engine. Why would you ever buy an older car when you can affford a new one, of course they are going to fix rattles and scratches, and the overall quality in the 06 is the best.

the only way id go pre-05 is if you wanted FI.

 

trying to stay around the 20k range
