Are you the original owner? Any accidents/damages? Service history?

By the way, I see in your signature line that you also have an '04 G35x. My wife and I owned the exact same car from Dec '03 until sometime in '06. How do you compare the two cars as far as handling, driving experience, etc....?

I am the third owner, carfax shows no accidents or damage and I have looked over the car very good and see no signs of paint work or damage. I do not have the service history.

I bought the car on "impulse" after getting my wife her G35X in November of last year. I certainly enjoy the car but it is becoming more difficult to just have it sit in the garage (not a daily) while I make the payment and insurance on it. I've put about 1200 miles on the car in those 5 months and it is certainly more entertaining than the Sedan. The ride difference between the 17" wheels on the X and the 19s on the coupe is noticeable but not harsh. The coupe is much more fun to drive but comparing a 6-Speed Sedan to it would be a better judge.

Even though it was bought on "impulse" I did look at several other coupes and this was by far the best condition that I looked at. It has clearly always been garage kept and don't think anyone would be disappointed if they came to look at it.

Any other questions just let me know

The car is absolutely beautiful! I love the color combo.

Yeah, an auto AWD sedan G35 is quite different than a 6MT coupe, but was just curious to hear your thoughts. We really liked my wife's G35x. It was a real nice sports sedan, a MUCH better bargain than the BMW 325 we had looked at.

I'm in the market to buy. I'm still going back and forth between the G35 coupe and the Pontiac GTO. G35 has more luxuries, more tight suspension, better looks. GTO has the raw power, which is addicting, but is "soft" on a windy road.

Would your car pass safety and emissions inspection as is? i.e. all 4 tires have good tread, brake pads are good, lights, etc...?

As far as I know it would the rear tires might be the only issue but I have 2 new ones ready to go on. As for as the brakes and everything else I got the car when it was so cold I haven't messed with it much at all. Now that its starting to warm up I'll start being in the garage more. As for the GTO I bought this car about a year after selling a 600+ HP 2003 Cobra and its certainly different but all depends on what your looking for. I've never driven a GTO but my wife did have a Trailblazer SS with the same LS2 and it had some power but was not very MPG friendly thats why we got the G35X which isn't great either but better than the TBSS. Anyway, if there are pictures of anything else you'd like to see on the car let me know. If its warm this weekend I'm going to change the oil and can get some pictures of the underneath for you if you'd like.

It does not have an extended warranty. I can call and find out on when exactly the warranty is up. I'll get back to you on that.
