Why don't you try and grab a ride from someone in your area?

It also depends on if it will be your Daily Driver (DD). I have a 6MT, and drive it two days a week, so I really enjoy shifting gears. If you have as a DD but with heavy traffic, I'd go with Autostick. Having your to shift gears in traffic sucks.

hey guys lemme ask u a question. I found a couple of G35's at a pretty good price. but when i autochecked it it brought back a response that says

Loan/Lien Vehicle Use and EventCheck A loan/lien is the legal right to take and hold or sell the vehicle of a debtor as security or payment for a debt. Normally, a vehicle will have a lien due to a loan or unpaid repair bill against the vehicle.

Fleet, Rental and/or Lease Use Vehicle Use and EventCheck The vehicle has been reported as used as a fleet, rental and/or lease vehicle.


what u guys think? the car only has like 36,000 miles on it.

As far as I'm aware, the lien stays with the vehicle, but I'm not sure about US regulations on the matter. Is this a private sale?

No, it's in a dealership. Check out the link http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false


I AutoChecked it and everything is fine except for that

So it is coming back with a lien, and is flagged as leasefleet vehicle. I'd be more c0oncerned about the lien part. Ask the dealership WTF, and get them to remove it. A dealer should not be selling on cars with liens.

a few months back i was in the same boat as you. ive driven MT for as far back as ive been driving. i had been having alot of issues with my joints bothering me....mainly my knees.then last summer i was diagnosed with premature rheumetoid arthritis and was forced to sell my sportbike and get a cruiser due to the more comfortable seating position. and to also sell my 6mt maxima and pickup an auto g35. i do miss being able to hold a gear and mash it when i want to have some fun and really feel the car. but like it was said above, i for sure dont miss sitting in traffic in MT. its nice to just get in an go sometimes. but one other con is i can now do alot more inside the car while driving to distract me which was not an issue with all my MT cars. i find myself fiddling with my phone and ipod more. i now attempt to eat and drive occasionally which sucked while driving MT. i feel like i was more alert and concentrated while driving MT. just a thought.

Nope.. A lien means that the car is down as security for a loan or whatever. If it is still on the car, then the previous owner may have a loan on the car, and they can come and get it. get rid of the loan, and do NOT buy it if it remains..

(This is just laymans knowledge, so hopefully someone will pop along who can clear that up for you)
