If I were you, I'd say away from salvage or even rebuilt titles for obvious reasons.

Sedans are usually cheaper than a coupe, although I think the look is worth the price difference, so unless you need a 4door, I'd go for a coupe.

I think you can get a 2005 for at or around 15k.

Bought my 2004.5 G 6MT SEDAN off Craigslist for $13,500 in early 2008. It was actually in great shape!

I picked up my 04 sedan auto, march 2010, with 45k. today, I'm at 78k and have had no major issues. I did change the brake rotors and pads around 55k bc the stock units sucked. Other than that I replaced the belts around 68k (25 for the belts and 75 for one our of labor.) I recently completed a 6 month/14k mile trip across the US and couldn't be happier with my car. Well... I guess the gas mileage wasn't all that great. I averaged 22 mpg overall. The best freeway mileage I saw was just shy of 25 mpg. So it is quote thirsty IMO.

The sedan is discrete. To get pulled over you really have to be doing something stupid. I passed plenty of LEOs over 85 w/o being pulled over.

If I keep her any longer I will be dynomating (sp?) the interior and truck as the noise level is a bit high esp at freeway cruising speeds. I've considered upgrading the stereo but the Bose sounds really really good.

That's my input.

I got my 2003 Brilliant Silver Coupe, 1 owner 57k miles for $13,000. Although i searched literally every car website and every city of every state on craigslist. Dont lose patience, took me 3 months to find it! Good luck!

They originally wanted 13995 but I talked them down since it was on the lot for 3 months.

Drove from Maryland to Connecticut (approx. 6-7 hours each way) to buy my 05 DG 6MT sedan. Out the door price was 12k, car had 62k miles was in excellent condition and only needed front bushings replaced which I did myself using whiteline products. Then, the modding bug bit me in the @ss

I'm thinking of a 2003-2006.

What are the differences between the G with 260 hp and the 2005 g35 at 298hp?

What are the benefits, differences with the X series - all wheel drive?

Wiki.

Also, make sure you take an adult with you when you buy the car. Your indecision and lack of knowledge will cost you if you're not careful.

You need to spend a few weeks reading on this forum.

Yea I like the 06/07 coupes because of the new front and forged wheels. OEM brakes are not the Brembos but you can fix that with a swap or big brake kit if you need to.
