In this area. Central Pa. (slightly lower cost of living etc. than NJ). You're stil under dealer warranty though on your miles which gives cars a decent price boost to dealers. I'm trying not to go over 24k. The most amazing part is that the closet infinti dealership to me is 70 miles away. This was part of my decision to pick one up, because there are very very few Infiniti's in this area. Now I just need to find it. 04 or 05, 40k miles, black, auto, semi loaded (no nav, and dont need the 19's. I'll buy my own lightweight deep dish wheels.) Possibly look to lower by 1/4 an inch (as long as keep the springs close to oem stiffness)

btw. this forum is much more .. professional and polite than the ones I have dealt with in my days. I've been tunning cars for 10years and am a member of many forums, DSM, Probetalk, Honda-tech, clubRSX, FastMustang, SRTForum, e46forum, m3forum, etc. etc.. At least the type of car doesnt attract bratty little kids.

I would recommend the 05+ years for the coupe, and 07 for the sedan. Here is a quick breakdown:
03-04: first years, has some problems with tranny, tire feathering, oil consumption. Stereo deck is fugy and is known to die without warning...who listens to cassettes anymore? Tires not 19's. Seat belt sucks. Good spoiler on the aero pkg
05: Most initial problems fixed (oil consumption, tire feathering). Upgraded to REV-Up motor with higher max RPM- more HP. Good stereo deck. Seat belt sucks. Good spoiler on the aero pkg
06-07 (coupe) For the most part, the same as the 05's. Rear active steering. Seat belt partially fixed, blue tooth, seats more comfortable. Spoiler sucks (IMO) with the aero pkg.
07 (sedan) great engine! Interior redesigned-nice console unit, even without NAV. Dual exhaust. Horrible throttle feel, worst spoiler yet!

I found an amazing deal on a 350z with a badly chipped up front bumber (easily replaced w/ aftermarket) and minor light scrathes on the body (wet sanding would take care of 90%). Price was I think.. 19k for a 2004 w/ 30k miles 350z touring. After a little research I realized that 350z just don't hold their value the same. I suppose merely because of being a 2 seater weekend joy car. I still think the g35 has a more sophisticated look anyways. Definately higher used price though. From my numbers usually about 15% higher than the 350z

back seats are worth it in the G.
I've been running the stock 19's and really dont know anything different... when i test drove the 335i i really didnt take any time to compare the ride difference only performance.
gl in your search man ! im sure you'll be able to find a G to your liking

The Sport Package was available starting in the 2005 model and after, and it includes the 19" Rays forged wheels, limited slip differential, sport tuned springs & shocks, and the orange stitching steering wheel. Unless if someone goes out and changes out his steering wheel, which i REALLY highly doubt they'll do and I haven't heard anyone going thru that trouble yet, that's pretty much the only sure way to know if has it or not.
