G's with high mileage & reliability (new)
Hey, I'm in the market for a new car, my old lexus sc400 got stolen. I really love the g35's (espically coupes) but they are slightly out of my price range
($20k ish)
recently found a nice 2003 g35 sedan w/ spoiler for $19,800
kicker is, it has 81,000 miles on it. I live in norther cali so it is impossible for me to find ANY g35 for under 20, and the blue book on it was $21k at kelly blue book, and $22k on edmunds.
Test drove it, a very solid car, everything works, clean, no damage or previous damage at all.
my question is, how well do you think these cars will hold up over time/miles.
I will probably be putting quite a few miles on it a year (15-20k) I figure its going to be very reliable with the 3.5engine and everything, but my knowledge is limited. If all is good, I will probably go get it tommaro morning.
any opinions, reccomendations, and/or help is VERY apperciated.
Thanks, -Hank

Get the service record & if it's clean, & the price is right go for it.
The power train on these cars are one of the best in the industry.
With proper care you should get many more miles out of it.

Hank,
I also moved to a G35 from a SC400. I couldn't be happier. I found a 2003 G35 Coupe fully loaded w/Navigation, premium & aero pkg and 34k miles for $25k back in October. The Infiniti's are just as reliable as the Lexus' so you shouldn't worry about a G35 w/81k miles on it.
What year was your SC400? I had a 95 platinum silver SC400 that I traded in for my G35 and still have a 92 silver spruce SC400.
Good luck in your search.
