How should I feel about owning a 2004 6MT Coupe?
Not everything's about dollar signs man... I rationalize the massive amounts of money I've been spending on my car recently by thinking about how much more fun I'm having driving it!
I used to drive a busted-*** 89 accord with 290K miles on it that'd been in 7 or 8 accidents before because it made "financial sense"... I say if you've got the money do it. You only live once

Sometimes I feel the same way. I bought my 04 last October and sometimes hate owning a nearly 6 year old car. But the G35 still looks good and has good styling, so that helps quite a bit. And it's pretty reliable too, so I don't mind driving it daily. There's times I'd like to get a newer make/model but I've grown fond of my car in the past year.
In my opinion the 1st generation G35 has rather timeless styling. It tends to be mechanically highly reliable, and the technology is not by any means hopelessly out of date. My issue is not so much with the car itself, but with difficulty of keeping an beautiful "old" car that's an everyday driver, looking that way in New England where the climate and the road conditions are virtually your everyday enemy. It's just difficult on almost very aspect of the vehicle here. Almost invariably the really clean 04 that I own today will degrade quite a bit over about the next four or five years. So at that time I'll probably let it go. The wife and I are thinking of moving to Santa Rosa California in about five years. So if we do so at that time maybe I'll buy myself a really nice 2009 G37 coupe, and my *** will be basking in that California sunshine.
op,
don't be an idiot, i have an 05 and wished i had bought an 03, no body can tell the difference between my 05 to an 03 anywho most normal us citizens don't even know infiniti is a nissan lux brand - maybe not most but hella lotta of them,

Forget it
Ahhhhh the 2004 sucks. I wouldn't want to be caught dead driving around in a 2004 g35. I might want to shoot myself. I'll tell you what. I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands for you so you don't have to live in such misery.
First I want to say that I have a 04 coupe and LOVE IT! Its a bad @ss car imo. It looks hot when clean and has enough power for me and runs great, cant ask for any more then that. I dont care if its an 03 or 07. I drive it because I love the way it looks and not what the sticker has on it.
Now modding a car is not a money maker. You do it because you love the car and want to built it the way you want it. Its making the car your stlye. I would mod a one year old car just as much as a 15 year old car. I love my G but I still also love my 93 NX2000 and my sentra. I build MY car because I like the car not because of OTHERE people.

Just think about the things you'll be missing if you get rid of your car. As a Spanish saying says; "No sabes lo que tienes hasta que lo tienes perdido." Which means "You don't know what you have until you've lost it." So, just take your time to think about it and make your decision.
