Should I just Settle?

for the sedan

don't get me wrong I LOVE THE COUPE

but Its so hard to find in black and manual

at least if I expand the search to Sedan Blk / Manual

I'm going somewhere haha but I think Id get a newer sedan rather then the old ones...

I don't know I'm still a little confused I don't really wanna settle for anything less than what I want so we will see how that goes...

When it comes to exterior styling, coupe > sedan

When it comes to everything else, sedan > coupe

In my opinion, get what you really want because later on down the road you might regret it. I personally prefer the coupe>sedan, seeing that i drove the loaner (09 G35 Sedan) and my 05 G35 coupe, I would still choose my car.

Never ever settle. You'll always want to change it cause it's not what you wanted. I'd never settle for the wrong car anymore. I did that once and it ended up costing me so damn much in the end trying to make it better than what I had bought. Find EXACTLY what you want, and focus on getting it.

Wait it out and get what you really want. You'll regret it later if your paying good money and just settling on something you never really wanted.

Definitely do NOT settle. I guess it all depends on your personality, but it sounds like you've waited this long to find the right car don't give up now.
You'll probably only regret it.
Have you driven the actual style coupe you want and compared it to the sedans that are available to you?

You should never settle in life! Jobs, girl(s) or cars! Every month when you send in the payment you will not be happy if you settled. Just wait and get what you want. IMO

It seems to me like you really want the coupe. Why would you even think about "settling" with a sedan if that's not what you really want?

Both are good choices, but with such a large purchase I would not settle. Just wait it out.

As an aside, I've been around G35's long enough that both coupe and sedan look pretty boring to me in stock form, but I'll say that it takes quite a bit more money to get the sedan looking good than it does the coupe, but when you get there, the sedan looks really good.

Take a look at the user jmonsale (I think that's his name), he has a picture thread going on right now with his DG sedan and it's probably my all time favorite G35 sedan.

+10. Never seen any modded sedan look as good as even a stock coupe.
