idk about fetching more, but an unmolested 1998 ITR is a rare find, a G35 coupe is not. I wouldn't mind an ITR but I would never pay what people ask for them because I had an RSX-S which based on my experience is a superior car to the ITR and you can get RSX's for less. Why don't you just get some use out of it instead of putting 2500 miles a year on it, at least then you will be getting something for your money.

IDK my G is 2 years older then yours and has 71000 more miles, the only problem I had was that it burned some oil(probably less oil then my RSX or celica GT-S burned) and infiniti reaplced my engine. Aside from that the driver's seat creaks. Everything seems to work...idk maybe nav confuses everything. I knew a guy who had an 03 6mt sedan before I got mine and he had a load of stupid problems with it(radio, power seat, rear defroster, 2nd gear wouldn't work in the cold). I haven't seen any of these things.

Haha I'm just poking some fun at you guys. I'm on my 3rd G35 and love my car, but I can admit it's built like ****. I bought it for the looks, that's about it, and looking at it from that perspective yes I am pleased with my purchase. It's funny though since I came from Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, and both of those cars were better built and more solid than my G35.

I said the same thing when I compared a 2010 Camry loaner to the G37 Sedan loaner. Everyone called me a hater. I wasn't comparing "performance", just the ride, comfort and the acceleration lag. Which the G had a horrible lag.

Some people here bought the car for 10-17k. And that's exactly what they're worth. I however, bought it new, fully loaded with everything for 40k. So maybe if I bought the car for 27-33k brand new, which is what it worth until Nissan branded it as an "Infiniti" and bumped it up to 40k.

yeah I paid 13900 for mine plus like 1000 for extended warranty. Paid about 25000 for my rsx back in 06..lol. I don't know if you can really call the G overpriced, the prices of cars are just going up. I wouldn't want to pay 40 grand for a G35. I also don't want to pay 23000 for a civic si with nav or 38,000 for an Sti. Don't get me started on the prices of american cars...65k for an escalade? really? a pickup truck with chome is worth 65k?

I wonder how long it will take for a "What do you hate about your G37" thread to pop up? I also wonder how many of the same or similar complaints are going to be recurring.

I priced out the specs I have in the CDN market for purchase in 2006...this car was about 55-60k new when all was said and done. I bought it for 26,500 with a couple thousand dollars-worth of extras. The market isn't flooded with them here, they just depreciate like crazy.

$25,000 +/- a bit was my budget. The next step up for something I really wanted would have been 10k or slightly more. So, it's my fav of the bunch in the price range but not perfect in any regard.

65K is chump change compared to the amount of respect and hoes this American work of art will bestow you.

Could you really imagine forking over 10K for that thing and driving it home.. then putting the rims and other parts on ebay/craigslist?

Uh oh.... talking crap about the GTR made my nose bleed.. . brb..
