I have gotten the wheels balanced, the rotors turned(they were warped), and even went to a different shop to get them turned even after getting new tires and had the wheels checked to see if one was bent but there is still a shimmy. I took it back when it first did it because it was still under warranty and they couldn't find anything

She left a lot of details about her life in the navigation system though since she didn't clear out any of the history...

That's actually brilliant idea.. But too bad that I got my a bit more than a year ago and I factory-reste the NAV the moment I got her...
I should've thought about this before I erased all the history.. Errrrr..
anyways, I checked the carfaxed of my vehicle and it indicated that the car was registered as "commercial vehicle".
What does that exactly mean up here in Canada? Does it mean my car was used as a school bus by the previous owner?

got my G wit 24k miles = low mileage
my boy copped his brand new is '02, as an everyday car, now with 210,000 miles = high mileage
wit 50k your pretty iiiiight.
but theres not really a true way to tell, parts wear with no warning, until it shows signs of replacement, then worry bout it, as for me, i feel soory for the next owner hahahahaha
every red light that turns green for me is like its the million dollar race

I would hope that the G follows the tradition of the 3 big Japanese companies (Honda, Toyota, Nissan) in providing a solid experience, even after years of hard driving.
I've driven the crap out of my '95 accord for 11 years and 110,000 miles now and it still drives as solidly as the day I bought it. A Nissan/Infiniti with 50k miles should be in great shape even with hard driving. I don't think someone who paid close to $40k new for a fully loaded G is going to treat it like a baha dune-buggy or an Indy car or anything. But I'm sure they have pressed the accelerator down just as hard as you. NOONE can resist it.
As long as it wasn't used as a rental car, you should be ok.

One thing I overlooked when I bought my G was the OEM wheels. Every one of them had......severe....curb-rash. I'm talking at least 5-8 inches on each wheel. Either the person was doing tokyo drift around corners and ramming into curbs or Grandma couldn't see over the steering wheel and just 3-wheeled it around every corner.
