+1. Check the carfax report. Who knows how hard this car has been driven within the 75k miles. Look for something with a little less mileage just to be on the safe side.

Well, judging that i'm 16 and it's my first car???

I'm looking at under $18000, and this is the best deal. Ive seen 03 coupes with 75k miles for 20,000, so $16,600 is really good.

How many miles do Gs last b4 having issues??

If you're 16, and this is your first car, I would say look at something else.

Not trying to dissuade you from buying a G, believe me, I LOVE this car. However, if you're going to blow your nut in one shot, into a car with that many miles, you had better plan for any additional expenses that you weren't anticipating, such as potential maintenance issues, service, tires, stuff like that.

If you choose to buy one anyways, hopefully the one that you guy is well maintained and doesn't give you any headaches.

Good luck

Go to the dealer and ask the salesman to put the VIN number of the car in his computer and check for all for the service records done at any Infiniti dealers. This will show you what maintenece, warranty, and repair work was done at an Infiniti dealership. This will help you get a better idea of how well the car was taken care of.

Tell them to give you the VIN number of the car and take the number to the nearest Infiniti dealer.

You can try getting the information over the phone. Or have them fax/email you the information containing the records.

you live in Tulsa? There is an Infiniti dealer there.

Jackie Cooper Imports

They also have Porsche, MB, and Volvo on that lot. I think its off 41st and Memorial (its def on Memorial)

Are you new to Tulsa or something? I've never lived in Tulsa, but its right next to Mazda, BMW and several other dealers and about 5 min. from the woodland hills mall.

edit: I was way off, 93rd and Memorial right off the Creek Turnpike (I think its the last free exit)
