Thumbs up YAY or NAY?

Now hes askin for 23,900..but i think its possible to get him down a little lower. Whats a reasonable offer? The lowest offer i could make him. Does the car seem worth it?

if you're going to get a stick, look into getting an 05+. that way you get a revup engine, unless price is truly a factor. otherwise, offer $20k.

I don't see the big deal about the revup - yes, you get 18 more hp at the crank, but you sacrifice 10ft/lb of torque... Never heard of an '05 beating an '04 with the same mods. Not to mention oil consumption is more of a concern with the '05 - even if it is covered under warranty.

Hey your link didn't post properly (at least I can't see it). But regardless 23,900 is too much for an '04 if that's what your link is. The market has dropped substantially for G35's in recent months.

The revup rev's higher - 7000RPM redline vs 6600 on the previous VQ35DE. Aside from that I don't know anything more technical. I think they added variable valve timing on the exhaust?

Search members cars on here - there are a lot of red G35's that don't look like chick cars at all. However, I personally think totally stock it looks a bit like a chick car. Red's not my jam.

IMO the '05 center console isn't much better than the '04 - they didn't change very much

i think they did..i can deff see a difference...maybe theres no difference with the button layout, but with the actual structure of the plastic..i can diff see a difference. The 04' just seems to look a bit cheaper..

Eh, I guess... I think it looks better having the non-nav storage area the same color as the silver plastic rather than having it black plastic.

To each his own, I suppose!

Yay.......!

That's low mileage for an '04 and it's very clean with all the right options. Yes,
you could search for an '06 with the famous Revup motor but then you could
post on excessive oil usage with everyone else that owns one.... This
'04 coupe looks good, go for it!
