Almost Purchased a G35 But Some Problems...

I was looking at a low mileage (17k) 2004 G35 Coupe today but I went with my buddy and he pointed out some problems.

Here's the list:

-some of the engine parts looked oxidized (seller lives maybe a mile or so away from the ocean)

-left side of the car audio does not work (Bose)

-VDC off (could this mean that he beats on the car...maybe?)

-paint could use some TLC


The price is $21.5k (he was asking $24.5k) it is a 2004 blk/blk G35 with 17k miles 6MT with Premium and Aero


What do you guys think? Is this a fair price for the car which could definitely use some TLC!!

Sounds like way to much of a hassle.. Car sounds like a POS to me.

VDC permanently off? or did you push the button? If permanently off the I would just say f*ck it..

Left out in the weather....!

This is a low mileage '04 but from the description it hasn't been taken care of.
Sounds like it has been left outside it's whole life with the engine showing
deterioration. My guess is the interior has suffered too, seats, dash etc. My
advice, find another G that has been taken care of!

If I were in your shoes, I'd rather have a higher mileage G with no problems for the same price.

Even though i'm new and still looking for the perfect G35, i would keep looking. Pay a little extra, and get something that looks great that shouldn't cause you much hassle down the road.

It's an aluminum engine so it's going to happen to a certain degree.

-left side of the car audio does not work (Bose)

Lot's of issues with Blose on the G35. Lot's of memebers upgrade anyway.

-VDC off (could this mean that he beats on the car...maybe?)

Was it turned off for the test drive or is the fuse pulled? My VDC resets each time I turn the car off. I have to press the button to turn it off.

-paint could use some TLC

If it's always been outside for 4-5 yrs and not waxed you'll have an issue.


The price is $21.5k (he was asking $24.5k) it is a 2004 blk/blk G35 with 17k miles 6MT with Premium and Aero

It's a very fair price with 17K miles but you're making the car sound as if it was never well kept. If that's the case, keep looking. If you're just being cautious, give it another look and ask the seller if you can put the car on a lift and look it over.

You forgot Brembos!
