How much G35 can I get for $15k?
you can def get some for 20k, the 2006.
I would consider that just MAYBE if it is reliable. The difference between 15 and 20 is not that much to me, it's something I would consider...maybe.
Reliable though? I don't know...
I really really don't want to drive a Camry or Accord. Something with ***** in the body.

Because it's not going to drive to 250k without continual repairs. That makes me not attracted to it. Inefficiency. Poor design. Poor reliability testing.
If only Toyota still made the Supra (stateside).

Ok, well you should probably get off a forum specifically for g35's then.

I could get an older g35 to offset the repair cost and time involved maintaining it. Eh.
Why can't someone make a reliable car worth driving that looks fun.

Reliability is not even close to a Honda or Toyota.
Tires: replace very 10-15k - Cost: $900+
Spark plug seal - every 70k. Cost : $700 plus (u must purchase valve cover gasket at the same time).
Window Motor, Door lock mechanism:
-----
I had a S2k and Integra before the G. Integra hit 200k. Never had to replace a door lock mechanism, window motor or valve cover/sparkplug gasket.
The only thing I had to replace was the clutch/flywheel, and timing belt, and other belts at 150k. That was it.
Everything else was just simple stuff like radiator flush. I replaced the headgasket at 180k. Even then, it was still good. Wasn't blown or showing any sign of wear/tear.
------
So, if you're going to get this car, expect tons of money being spent on maintenance and gas. Don't forget insurance and other BS. I bought my car new, so the registration fee was $380 bones.

Window, door lock mechanism, I can replace that yeah?
What other things could I expect and how much would the parts be (and how hard are they to do yourself), or is that mainly it?
Piddly maintenance I would be OK with (every 70k is not horrible, as long as it's not random stuff breaking) if I know it's coming.
I googled for IS250 stuff and that's out the window now; CR only gives it average reliability for major engine problems; and the manuals have serious flywheel and clutch problems. Further, the replacement part is $2700-3200 OEM. Yikes! Who wants to drive an automatic...
My last try at this is accepting there will be routine repairs I will have to make. How many would I not see coming, and what would those things be that break?
Thanks so much for everyone's help.

Just for some balance, I have 120,000 miles on my 2004.5, only repairs I have had to make on the engine so far have been the belts (one shredded at about 60,000) and the power steering hose. I have replaced the spark plugs once. Engine has zero leaks and burns about 1/4 QT in 3000 miles. this motor sees 6000+ rpm almost daily.
