yes, crack is expensive, and this seller needs to buy some more, hence the price.

Price is kinda high for an 04 Auto, even with 32K miles. The low miles are nice, but it's 6 years old and isn't a Sport or 6MT model. I wouldn't pay more than about $16K for it. There are lots of 04 Coupes on Autotrader.com with similar mileage that are several thousand less than his price.

BTW, I think DetroitG35 was thinking that there weren't that many Coupes for sale in Hawaii, so your options are probably limited. He wasn't suggesting that Hawaiians all wear grass skirts and coconut bras and can't wait to row out to greet the visiting tanker/cargo ships. If I had to buy a car in northern Michigan or spend a large amount of money to have one shipped in from Indiana, I'd probably be willing to pay more for a local car and know what I was getting.

First, get the VIN and have it run through Carfax or Autocheck. Second, see if he has any service records. It might still be under the powertrain warranty (6 years/70K from original purchase date). Third, offer him a fair price and drive the car home so you can start modding.

For all the guys who haven't lived on oahu... G35s are very, very common out there.
You could get that cheaper from the dealer than that asking price, but if you can nail it at 15.5k, that's not too bad, considering it's only got 32k miles on it.

I would know, I bought both of mine on Oahu.

If you're patient and watch craigslist like a hawk, you can get one a couple grand cheaper.

This is funny, no one thinks you guys in Hawaii live in grass shacks and if they'd been on Driver for a while they would have seen quite a few members from the islands with very cool G35 & Zs. Sorry, this coupe doesn't look that great and I wouldn't offer him more than $15K....

Oahu? NO. I spent 6 years there. I wouldn't move back. The weather's a mixed benefit. Temperature's great, but all the rain, not so much. If you want to spend your weekends at the beach, or clubbin' then yes, there's some benefits. If you like to drive though (which I would think you do since you're here on driver), it's frustrating.

Hawaii though? (Big Island) Yes, I would live there. Lots more road, lots less people, volcano, observatories, A RACETRACK, roads that change the scenery... I'll go back there anyday.
