....Go For it!....

 

alright thanks!! hahah

 

also this pretty much gonna be my first car that is stick, is it gonna be harder to drive since its supercharged or does it just take some time to get use to

 

you'll have a faster response time....a supercharger has no control over the manual transmission as far as shifting goes.

 

alright so if u look on the at the reviews it says the oil pan needs to be sealed and something about suspension maybe idk wat that means

 

not sure about that stuff....the 03's are different than the 06's which i have.

 

is that ramsey infinity in NJ? i live about 20 min from there. i could maybe meet you there one day to look at it quick. seems like an awsome car. if i didnt owe on my 03 id prob go buy this one. let me know if u need a hand. i work in the field(auto tech) so i can look over the baiscs. either way good luck, i bought my 03 and love it. almost at 90k already. cars are ment to be driven lol

 

ohh nice nice yea maybe that would be awesome im in westwood like 15 mins away from ramsey so maybe we could meet up sometime this week cause if its worth im definelty gettin a loan and buyin it this week sometime

 

doesn't look bad at all.


the thing is, like someone else mentioned, the only things carfax shows are things reported to insurance. if you back into a pole in your driveway and pay for a new trunk and paintjob out of your pocket, it won't be reported.

i'm just curious why the rack and pinion is out in it.....that just seems fishy. That's not a common problem for our cars. i would definitely have that looked at for that reason. Also, listen to the transmissions. earlier models lose the synchro from 3rd gear and 5th gear. They grind when you try to shift into them. There have been 10 revisions of the transmission and it's covered under warrenty up til 70k miles. With the extra power from a super charger I would check into that also because of the added stress on the transmission.

I doubt this is 480hp. I don't see enough mods on the car as is to show that. It doesn't have a vortech on it so i'm going to guess that it is an ATI. It takes a LOT of stuff to get almost 500hp out of a supercharger on our cars. maybe 380 is what he means. that's more realistic for a lightly modified super charger install.

 

what is rack and pinion? yeah i mean its definelty not 480 hp thats crazy but 380 is still pretty quick, i will definetlty check out the transmission, my dad just went to go look at it, he said he likes it prolly tomorrow or tuesday ima test drive with my dad and maybe a buddy of his that knows cars, i just dont wanna be scammed and take some body elses headache but u guys are helping me out so much thanks for all ur info any more info is grealty apprecaited

 

things you got to ask yourself are:

1. is it what you want?
2. do you feel comfortable paying 18k for a 6 yr old car
and 3. can you afford the lines that go with it i.e. premium gas, insurance, car payment, etc.

 

yea i wanted a blk one and this one is amazing i wanted the brembo package with the spoiler and this has it its like perfect i just want to make sure that this isnt a scam and has problems

 

well you will really never know if there was some other problems not reported, but you dont see too many 6 yr vehicles with a clean title/accident report.

 

you want a black g35, check.

Do'nt take offense to this but you arne't just getting a car, you are getting a toy. As soon as you start modding a car like this it isn't going to be like just getting it in and driving. There are a lot more things to maintain and watch out for and service. You didn't even know what a plenum is or what to look for on a car when buying it so are you sure you can keep this car road worthy? Do you know anything about superchargers? If not do you have a boatload of cash on hand to take it for service at a dealership a lot more often then a normal g35?

Just some things to think about

 

well you can learn anything through the internet....i mine ive had my car since february but havent been able to touch it yet.,,,but i had no idea what a spacer, mrev2, pop charger, z tube, or anything was but through googling and searching and reading on this forum i learned what each part does....i never worked on a car before...and when i get home from this deployment i will make my g35 my project....
