What should I look at if I am test driving it?

Too bad there is no aero or premium package on it..and i dont think it has sports suspension? And i think the warranty is almost up?

Look for if the clutch is slipping(doubt it unless it was poorly driven), any crack/leaking lines, tires, brakes, leather cracks, the useual and you should be good. But I would offer $17,500 and go from there.

All 6-speeds in '04 have the sport suspension.

I would watch out for skeletons in the closet. Run a carfax and pay special attention to the body lines and look for overspray or mismatched paint, particularly on the inner parts of door jams and inside the engine bay and trunk.

I would settle for nothing less than perfectly what you want. Keep saving and the prices will keep dropping, and more options will come up for cheaper.

I found an '05 black on black, no nav no sunroof but everything else, 20,995. You can get a better deal.

Darkstar,

Perfectly put. Thank you. Yah if i want to do a trade in, only do a trade in for something i 100% want.

How many miles did that car have btw? and was it at an infiniti or acura etc dealer or like those european motor dealers or private owner? Do you guys think it is safe to buy from those like european or like rose auto. Not from like an acura or infiniti or honda etc dealership??

Also, when i test drove the coupe...it didnt really feel MUCH different than the sedan except that it was manual and that the engine/exhaust was a bit louder in the 3-5 rpms...

Where is the best place to sell my sedan? At an infiniti dealership? At like a acura dealership? At one of those European motors or like those car dealerships that are not affiliated with any companies?

Or just sell it on craigslist?

What do you think of this? Are there any modifications that you can tell that has been done other than the badging?

Maybe they can do an even trade?

And since it has over 50,000 miles, should I be worried? This car has everything I want, except that there is no warranty anymore You think that these auto places that are not dealerships are safe?
