Should I?

Totally new here. I wanna see your opinion on this G35.

I'm thinking about getting it and it seems to be the best deal around here.

With quality aftermarket headunits, stock navi's not really much of a selling point as far as I'm concerned, but 54k miles ain't too bad.

The G35 prices are dropping like CRAZY. Makes me regret purchasing mine brand new.

I wasted 40k.
2006 6mt w/ Premium, Aero, RAS, NAVI, Splash guards, stupid trunk nets/mats...

Ugh....i hate that 2003/2004 models all have such high miles now, and that 2005/2006 models have the risk of oil consumption and no existing warranty left, and that 2007's are out of my current price range lol...FML. I haev no idea what i want to do since i'm also in the market for a 6 speed coupe....

Yeah it's kinda tough to make a decision. I'm going to try to check some out this weekend hopefully finding one that I like for a good price.

Not a steal, but not a bad deal. Looks cleans with low miles for that year.

There's a reason some of those cars are priced so low, so make sure you run a Carfax on any purchase. This shouldn't be optional. I just did a search a few days ago on autotrader, and 3 of the 5 cheapest G35's had all been in accidents. Once the Carfax checks out, and you think you're interested, then take it to a mechanic or body shop and get it checked out. The $50 or so you spend there may make a big difference in whether you buy it. If the seller won't let you take it to someone to get checked out, then walk away because they're probably trying to hide something.

Since you have choices, I'd go with the first one due to the mileage and equipment. Or since that color is soooooo common look for one with a different color for about the same price....blue/black/red anything but silver.

Definitely get a carfax of any older generation G35 you buy. My old 03 coupe was involved in a accident plus some "off roading" I did, plus the car wasnt put together right when I was stripping my turbo kit off the car which the dealer had no clue about.

It is very very easy to end up with a lemon.
