I am looking to get my 1st G and my choices are:

1. 2006 AT Sedan 11,000 miles (No options except sunroof) - Very clean looks like brand new everywhere - $24995

2. 2004 MT Coupe (with Brembo's and 18 inch factory rims) 37,000 miles Black on Black $22900 - This one has some slight paint scrapes on Air dam and rear lower quarter panel and rims have some curb rubbish

3. 2004 AT Coupe 43,000 miles Dark Gray $22,900 - going tomorrow to check this one out but I am assuming it is as clean if not a little better condition then the black coupe

Anythings I should look for when inspecting them besides the normal car stuff? Any things in particular that wears or is a trouble spot on the 04 coupes that I should look for?

Thanks in advance for all your opinions and advice - Appreciate it!!

 

If I already had a daily beater, I would go with the MT Coupe. If I was going to go sporty with a coupe, I would get the MT.

But, if it was my only car, I would get the Sedan. Convenience of 4 doors, even if it didn't have some of the options I like like auto lights, Homelink, etc.

You didn't mention options on the Coupes. If they are otherwise basic, then it is more just the 2 door/4 door issue.

 

Thx for your quick response, I am so torn!! I 'm sure that I will be happy with any of them. I just can't stop liking the looks of the coupe otherwise I would have already purchased the sedan. Of course with a family of 5 the sedan makes more sense but I do have an Armada to drive the family around in and most of the time it is just me and my three girls who seem to fit nice in the coupe. Damn I am torn!!!

I will make a decision...........................

 

04 mt.
brembos for the win!

 

^+1 from a 6mt sedan owner with Brembo envy

 

I like my sedan, but I miss the sportiness of a car. The sedan is okay, but I would go for the 04 MT Coupe! You already have a family vehicle, get something fun!

 

I'd say first you need to determine if you want a coupe or a sedan. If it's a coupe and a second car used primarily on the weekends, I'd definately get the 6MT if you can live with the scratches. I drive my 6MT through at least 2-3 hours of traffic each day. Sure it sucks when it's stop and go but if it's at least moving at 30+mph, it's really not that bad as some say.

 

I have the 04 black with brembos and love it

 

well theres your answer right there.

 

if you plan to drive your family around with the G you better go with the sedan cause the seats for the coupe takes forever to move foward

 

Sedan, b/c coupe drivers are stuck up ******. You would most likely turn into one if you are not already

 

If you get a sedan, don't get an 06' because have you seen the 07'? Why's the MT and AT coupe the same price? The AT has more mileage and right off the back the MT costs more. Odd? If you're traveling with three daughters, I'd go for the AT because less to worry about on the road plus sooner or later the coupe's going to be one of theirs.

 

I went with a new 06 Coupe Lakeshore Slate with 18's and the 5at for the crazy city traffic. I got the premium package as well cause I love the bluetooth and never having to use the key!! I have 2300 miles on her and she is running great. I did buy the Nismo CAI before I had even went through the first tank of gas. I am planning my CarPC install next.

One problem I seem to have is everytime I look down at the speedometer I am going 90 to 100. Does this car go slower then that? I actually had it going 145mph on the track after she was broken in. I just wish it had more get up and go in 4th gear 80mph to 100... I am looking to get the motordyne mrev intake and spacer, I think that will help me a little....

Love this Car!!

 

Congrats!! Personally, I would avoid black too, looks great when clean, but lots of work.

 

Nice color choice...LS is a sharp looking. Congrats and enjoy.

Haha...funny what you think us coupe drivers are and even funnier is the first word that came in my head about you after reading your response...
