i like how you use the word investment with a car......
this isnt barrett jackson, and i hope to god you guys didnt buy your g35s thinking they will be worth more than what you bought them for.

you want a return, invest money or buy land. you want to have fun, buy a vehicle.

i spent $2k fixing my g recently. if i decide to sell it i wont sell it until the value is at $5k lol

I think we all know that.

By 'investment' we mean intrinsic value, not monetary.

When I bought my G, I spend close to $2k on maintenance to make sure it was running as good as it does now (previous owner didn't take good care of it).

Its also the reason why I'm not dumping a ton of $$ on the car because you can hardly get that money back. I could've bought expensive Vossens, but the 19" Rays work just fine. Also, its common knowledge that factory condition cars hold their value more...


edit:
There's this 03 Blue G35 coupe in a small dealership that I pass by everyday on the way to work. It's priced at $5900 and I believe its a 6spd. Not a bad price, but I'm not sure of its condition. I might pop in there on my day off and just take a peek at it for ***** n giggles.

Maybe "asset" is more appropriate than investment.. Thanks Justice06RR for clarifying what I meant..

Vossens are **** knock-off wheels anyway. Your car is worth more with the rays on it.

Gottt dmnet don't bring that here!! Lol

They are not bad wheels... I've definitely seen worse . The value of my G since I bought it seems stagnant so I'm happy, but it also isn't ugly like the first gens!

the value went down when he decided to paint the stock wheels rice black

Asset does sound better.

I'd give it 5-10yrs and our G's may slightly appreciate in value. If you have a clean 03-06, in 2025 it maybe more valuable if the car is well kept.

So keep the rice away from your car fellas

They only made the v35 coupe for 4 years! This car will become a classic!! Just wait and see. Once the whole import community accepts the fact that the g35 is the first imported skyline it will be a car highly sought after. Especially the well kept ones like mines!!!!

never gonna happen

this mines?

^especially since in japan no one liked this car.

hahaha

yup the g got no love in japan like how the 350z did. like honda its only popular outside of japan lol
