05 or 06 definitely.

All that matters is to you should be miles. Unless the 2 interior colors are different.

I'd probably go with the '05 since it's MT. But if you want the 06 projecters on the 05 your gonna have to drop 700 so... your choice.

Three to choose from....which one?

It's kinda difficult to make a choice on 3 different cars without at least looking
at them, popping the hood and driving them. I first choice would be the '05
because it's NOT the REV UP motor so no issues with oil usage. You could
offer them $2K less and see if they counter offer. Car sales are in the
crapper right now so they might bite! Don't forget to run a CAR FAX on
which ever one you choose....G/L (still like the '05 with less miles)

For the prices you listed, I'd immediately take the '03 off of your list.

37K is rather a lot on an '06. However, that means it was probably highway miles. 15K is low for an '05 so it probably wasn't a lot of highway miles. In terms of clutch wear and tear, they may have even had their clutch depressed an equal amount of times if the '06 owner had a long highway commute.



How many miles a year do you plan to drive? Warranties are 4yr/60K b-2-b and 6yr/70k powertrain. If you don't think you'll reach the mileage on the '06 before the years are up, go with the '06. It also may have the sport package with the new bumper and sides, which is a huge improvement over the '05.

The G is a very reliable car. 37K miles should not deter you from a purchase, particularly if you drive less than 12K miles a year.

I live in the Tampa area and recently bought a G35. I found several cars online that looked like great deals and spent several days going from dealer to dealer looking at them. What I found was that none of the cars existed. They always had other G35s for more money, but the cars advertised online had always "just sold".

I don't think the Infiniti dealerships were playing those games. It was mainly the used car dealerships like Hillsboro Auto Mart, Elite Motors, and Lokey where I found the bait and switch tactics.

Anyway, I eventually found a pretty good deal on a well maintained 04 at a Toyota dealership and bought it. Out of curiosity, I looked online again several weeks later and saw quite a few of the same cars I knew had already sold.

Bottom line is to call before you go to any of the used car dealers around here. Also, note that a lot of their advertised prices are after a $1K down payment.

06' Definitely, the tan interior is disgusting IMO. If you have the black interior, the roof and pillars are still tan, but you can have the roof swapped out with suede and the pillars painted for $400-$500 which makes it look amazing.
