Looking to buy 03. . .what to look for?
Hi,
I'm new to this forum, to the Nissan/Infinity brand. I'm looking to buy an 03 coupe. I found one, base with leather and spoiler with 45k on it. I'm going to meet up with the seller this week sometime. What are some things to look for when buying a used G35?
Thanks in advance!
David

obviously run a carfax to make sure the car wasnt in an accident. check the tires for feathering, take a look at the engine to see how clean it is. make sure the cd player is working....

Also I don't want a dark colored car, I've got a side busines detailing cars, so it has to be silver, white, red, etc. No black or dark blue/grey. If you know of one in the chicagoland area that fits that criteria, let me know!

isnt red just as hard to keep as black? I had a red/black Z28 before and when it came to detailing it was just as picky as black IMO. Silver and white are the only "easy" colors haha. Anyways good luck with finding one in that price range. Im in the same boat with you and even checking wholesale dealer auctions. I cant find anything older than an 04, but I can get an 04 in the 18k range... I just want to stay under 17.5k =/
If you find two, let me know about # 2 haha Im all about some silver this round, already done red and black!

I'm having a hard time convincing the wife about the G35, so I may give up my find, and BTW the 2nd one I found is an 03 with 78K on it, more miles than I want which is why it's #2.
