44k miles and 03, i think the price is right !! Cause usually if you are selling a car without the OEM stuff, the price will go down.

hey if that is dracos car, i would BUY it, he is a very nice guy and takes car of it, i tried to get him to run it at the drag strip here and he said, "no way!!" i dont race this car at all, ever....


i was like, why you have a SC then, and he said that he just liked them

highly recommended if it is his car!!!


modded Gs just dont have any resale value, he could get the same thing for the car if he took all the mods off. he probably doesnt care....

i dont like the fact that the dealer kept it for 1500 miles though, wanted to test out the handling and power?? WTF Please call the dealer and also let him know that it is I N F I N I T I not some mid level audio speakers...

The dealer doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable about the car he is selling...I find it strange that a dealer doesn't even know how to spell Inifiniti -especially considering its spelled out on the car and all the associated literature.

Thats a red flag for sure - seems like a small thing but look at all the typos in the description - what kind of business or professional car dealership is so careless not even to spellcheck the listing of a vehicle they are selling?

Nevermind the fact that they have no details on the supercharger - if you sell something you should be knowledgeable about your product and this particular dealer doesn't seem to know anything about this car other than it is SC'd with 4psi.

Be cautious and definately get a 30 day guarantee from the dealer in WRITING against any mechanical issues. Maybe you should try finding out who the previous owner was and see if you can speak to him before you make the purchase - its out of his hands now so if there are any serious issues or flaws then eh should have ZERO qualms about sharing them with you - hes already got his check in the bank.

Good luck.

thanks for all the help guys, I contacted a shop in Savannah GA that works on 350/G35 and I have an appt. set for Fri for them to look at the car. The dealer said the guy that traded it in was a spanish guy who was the original owner and his wife just had twins and he traded it in for two sedans. Not sure if this is true but the dealership said they gave him 20k for the trade in, but in return gave him a great deal on the two new cars. The reason he told me that was because i asked him, why are you selling it for so cheap and he said that he is making good money on it and they rather just sell with no sort if hassle, thats when he told me the trade in price. Ill let everone know how it goes when I get the car. thanks

i just spoke with Draco, is first name is Alex and yes that was his car, he traded it in for sedans and what the dealer told me in correct. Alex said the car is running 7 psi, but is mildly tuned only making 326 to the wheels. He said the car can easily be tuned for 380 at the wheels but thats when u start running into problems. He said 7psi, the dealership says the display has never reached over 4 on the display. what is the problem here??

price looks way too good and in the listing they cant spell infiniti, and they dont seem to know much about the car (brand s/c for example)
People who have owned an infiniti for 3 days spell it with a y...

44k is a lot of miles. also they installed the SC 15k miles ago, that means the car had been pretty much abused.. why do people install these SCs without hitting it as hard as they could to see how well it performs?

Engine and block interior is not possible to be seen by an autoshop. and I would be extra caution, or just prepare the funds to buy a new motor in case anything happens.

Yup that Alex's (Draco) car, hes a relly nice guy who took really good care of his car, never took his car to the drag strip, i would def buy it considering all the money he put in it

I think it's funny when people install video displays in their G Coupe headrests...no one under 12 years old can fit in that back seat, and even then the screen is going to be 9 inches from your face LOL!
