Just got my first g35...What do you think?

Hey, I just bought an used 05 5AT g35 coupe and absolutely loving driving it. I got a decent deal on it as it has about 47k miles on it. There are a few scratches on it, a little more curb rash than I'd prefer, and the driver side leather is ripped where the seat meets the backrest. The scratches are not deep, what is the best way to deal with that....color pen, etc? Other than that, I am going to take it to the Infiniti dealership in a few days for an used car inspection to see what they say. Here are some pics....what do you guys think?

Can't seem to get the pics working....but here is a link.

Right now, I am on a budget so what are some not so expensive things I can do to make the car look, sound, or perform better. Also, I don't want to spend money on new rims just yet so is there a good way to get rid of bad curb rash. Thank you

Needs to see pics of the scratches with good lightning to see how to fix them or make them look better.

how much did you spend.


that will justify if it was a deal or not.


but in the end its your car, if you think it was worth the purchase then that is all that matters.

USED CAR INSPECTION SHOULD COME BEFORE YOU BUY THE CAR!

I paid 17,500 but that includes a 5year/100k mile extended warranty on the engine, transmission, transfer case, water pump, seals and gaskets, etc.

If it is light scratches and did not scratch the paint deep you can buff the car and all the small scratches will be gone. If the scratches are past the paint damage and you can see the metal than your gonna have to use like a paint marker. I wouldn't suggest using paint marker if the scratch isn't size of a hairline. Just put a little bit of paint with the marker and let it dry. After a day or 2 take a like 2000 grit paper make it wet and gently rub on the spot you painted don't put finger pressure on the sandpaper. When it's straight get polish and use a cloth and rub it in good and it will be back to shinny mode.
