Looking to buy a 2005 G35

Hello all -- I was hoping someone could help me. I am going to see this 2005
G35 tomorrow. Is the 2005 year a good year? Any bugs I should look for? Is this the complete package? Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the link: http://www.maroone.com/index.cfm?act...ntorytype=Used

Thanks,

I think 2005 has all the kinks worked out that the 03's had.

Car looks nice, still under manufacturers warranty, so I say go for it.
The 05's lost the Brembo brake package, but got the upgraded/revised interior appointments....(gauges, aluminum trim etc)
May have gotten a horsepower increase as well, 298hp.

I noticed it's been lowered -
Find out if it has an after-market camber kit in the front and back.
If it does not, you'll be eating tires like crazy.
Once you lower a G35 Coupe, it's highly recommended to get a camber kit back and front to get the alignment back into spec. Otherwise you'll be buying tires every few months.

If it does NOT have a camber kit from and back installed -
Use it as an angle for them to lower the price.
A front and back Camber kit will run you about $500-600 on sale.
With installation, you're looking at about $800 - $1000.
