I have decided to sell one of my most favorite cars that I have ever owned. That would be my 2005 G35 Sedan. The car is a 6 speed manual transmission, and has ever option available in 2005 except navigation, factory pearl white with tan leather interior. Everything works perfectly on the car, the interior is very nice (carpet could use a shampooing), and the thing runs perfectly. Below is a list of specs.

Year: 2005
Model: G35 Sedan, 6 speed manual
Factory Options: heated leather seats, reclining rear seats, sunroof, in dash 6 CD changer (works perfectly), dual climate control, power everything...
Mileage: 116,756 as of today (I still drive it a little, so mileage may change)
Suspension: Stock Nismo struts with Nismo springs (about 1.5" drop)
Exhaust: Ichiba shorty headers, Kinetix resonated test pipes, stock after that (have the stock cats also).
Clutch/flywheel: JWT flywheel with Clutchmasters Stage 1 clutch
ECU: stock ECU with Utec piggyback, tuned at Forged Performance
Intake: Simple K&N drop in filter in factory box
Wheels: 18x8 Kazera, black center 5 spoke wheel with a machined lip
Tires: Almost brand new 245/40-18 with less than 1500 miles on them


Like I said, this thing is a blast to drive and runs flawlessly. Everyone knows that the 05s are in the group that you need to monitor the oil level. The engine was switched out by the dealer with less than 40k miles on the car when the original/1st owner had the car. I am the second owner of the G. As much good things that I can say about the car, it is not without flaws. It has never been in accident, but it does have some paint flaws around the front and small spots close to the sunroof area, as you will see in the pics. Also, about two weeks ago, as I am riding down the Interstate, a big rig kindly decided to drop some junk out onto the highway and a rock smacked the passenger mirror and cracked the housing. It still operates fine, just has a crack. Other than those things, the only other thing that comes to mind is the clutch is heavy. Nothing wrong with it, it is just a heavy pedal. Oh, and the SES light is on because of the test pipes.

I would imagine at least a few of you on here remember the original owner of this car (Trey H.). If you do remember Trey, then you know he took great care of this G. I have done nothing more than continue taking the utmost care for the car. It has been dependable and never let me down. I have just bought a new daily simply for the fact that things are unstable at work and I need to make sure that my family is taken care of in case something happens there. There is a small note left on the car with my credit union, but there will be no issues getting you the title. My credit union will loan over $12k on this G, but I scored a deal with this from Trey and I am passing it along. This G needs absolutely nothing, literally get in and drive. I have all spare key and fobs also.

I am asking $9500 OBO.

Call me with any questions, or post here, or email me. Regardless, I will respond promptly. I've tried to list everything that I know of to the best of my knowledge. This is a great G and someone will be happy to have it.

Bought something else now. The G needs a new home. Price is OBO.

 

Other than the paint this is a nice ride! GLWS!

 

Thanks, and I agree. Once the holidays are over, I am probably going to do a partial wrap on the car to clean up the paint spots. I'll keep the thread updated and post any new pictures.

Curious to see how that looks! I'm in for the results. Did it start with rock chips or had it been repainted before?

 

I really don't know how it started. When I bought the G from Trey (the original owner), it was like this. Well, the spot on the hood has increased slightly, but this was no concern of mine at the time. I needed dependable daily transport and this provided that. The vehicle is 7 years old so I expected there to be flaws. I, personally, would rather have have a few blemishes in the paint and have a great performing drivetrain. That's what this car is....got a few spots on the outside, but everything else is great.

I will keep the thread updated. We are covered up until the first full week of January, so it may take about two weeks for the vinyl to go on.

My price will be a little more firm if the vinyl goes on. If anyone is interested in a deal, now would be the time to hit me with an offer.

Hmm I haven't seen factory paint do this but maybe just a handful of times. I totally agree with you on the bad paint/good drivetrain perspective. What color were you thinking of doing with the vinyl?

 

Agreed. I have only seen this happen to a very few vehicles. If you could look at the paint closely, it really just looks like the paint just lifted due to a contaminate (maybe a dirty hand print from closing the hood before paint....I don't know, just something like that).

Vinyl: We have discussed basically three different directions, all with the same layout, just different vinyl. The three options discussed thus far are matte/hot rod black, gloss black, or gloss metallic black. All which would incorporate a silver pinstripe over the transition between the vinyl and paint. We have a really nice carbon fiber, and can even get the CF in different colors, but I just don't think the G sedan is a good car to lay so much carbon on. One other option that does come to mind is a brushed metal vinyl. We can get the brushed metal vinyl in many different shades (aluminum, titanium. steel, etc...) Just a thought.

If someone is interested in having this done with a certain color, I can do that. Heck, I can even have the entire car wrapped any way that someone would want...for the right price.

JTB

 

Anything can be one for the right price lol. So I take it you work for a sticker or sign company?

 

Vinyl is one aspect of all the things we do.

 

Man do I wish this car was closer...

 

Hmmm, well, for my asking price, I could probably include shipping to you in WI. Just sayin'.

I'd have to confirm the actual cost but if you are serious, we can work something out.

I'll be financing and my bank is not super keen on sight-unseen purchases...
