That seems like a fair price to me given the mileage. Everything in my area comparable to that turned out to be a bait and switch deal when I was shopping. In fact, most of those cars are still listed on Auto Trader even though I know they were sold two weeks ago when I was looking.

Good luck!
the nav on the g does more than tell you directions... things that the garmin won't/can't do...

-when low on gas, the nav tells you how far a distance you can go with remaining fuel left and direct you to the nearest gas station
-you can set the mileage when you need an oil and filter change and it would remind you.
-one time i started to drive with the footbrake on and a warning beep and sign popped up saying my brakes were on
-any malfunction on your car would give a warning and a beep and would direct you to the nearest infiniti dealer and advice you if it is safe to drive your car or have it towed
-shows you your current mpg and distance to empty
-cooler than any of those small aftermarket nav...

The struts will most likely need replaced if they're original but you can always pick up a set of D-Specs, Tein Basics or other coilover set up. Brakes rotors and pads may also need replaced if they haven't been done recently.
^+1. You're willing to dump 17.5K into a car you haven't seen or driven, but you can't drop the coin to go and see/inspect it yourself? That and it's already out of warranty. As above, you are likely going to have to drop some money into it for struts, brakes, etc.

My advise is to wait for the perfect one more local or go see/drive it yourself.

I was going to buy that car 2 weeks ago, but my parents made me get a automatic, with a lot less miles for cheaper, doesn't matter anymore because I crashed my g35 last night.

All useless luxuries IMO. I'd rather have a GPS I can plug a location into while the car is moving than one with all that other useless crap. Common sense can go a long way towards making each and every one of those features completely unnecessary.

^everyone w/ a factory navi loves theirs.. and everyone w/o it will call it "unnecessary".. I guess if people have survived a few years w/o them it prolly is unnecessary to them

I personally think the look of something like a Garmin Nuvi 660 mounted inside the stock console of the non-Navi G's looks great. It's a bitch to wire it because you have to remove so much of the console and drill a small hole, but it looks really good.

If you can find a Manual GO FOR IT!
I've been trying to sell my 20k mile DG 5AT 2006 Full option + Aero Package for like the past 5 months. I'm thinking about just putting all my parts in. It's not worth selling it, I wish I'd bought the manual instead.

But what do you guys think on this? Sell my 5AT and buy a 6MT possibly lose a couple grand and end up getting a car w/ a higher mile. Or just put in my parts already. I have like $8k worth of parts that's been collecting dust for like the past 3-4 months. D=
