I Have to Say Goodbye!!

It's been a few months since I sold my '06 G35 coupe because of a 2-3 year work transfer to East Canada but I wanted to say goodbye to the G35Driver.com forum and it's members! I have learned a lot from the knowledgeable members on this site.

I owned the car for 3 years and it only had 25,000 miles on it but it put a smile on my face every time I drove it. Overall I was pretty happy with the quality and reliability of the G35 coupe. I had quite a few road trips to New Orleans, South Padre Island, San Antonio, and spirited weekend drives through the hill country near Austin and it performed flawlessly. While the interior did have a few squeaks, I did not mind them as much as other members on this site. The Bose speakers didn't sound all that great but I installed the 4080 box with an Infinity Perfect sub and that helped out!!

I sold it on Autotrader to a kid in California but I uploaded a few pictures to remember The Mistress by. By the way, I highly recommend lowering the car on Tein 350Z H-Techs since it will give a slight drop (.8") that the car badly needs. Since the car is fairly low, I had to get creative and borrow my neighbor's driveway to load it on the shipping truck's ramp (see attached pictures) to avoid ravaging the underside of the front dam.

I have not decided what to buy when I move back to Houston in a few years but I was thinking of the Gen II Cayman S. Who knows.... maybe I will come back to Infiniti and buy a G37S?!?! Bye for now!

I sold it for $23,500 back in August. Whoever bought it got it at a pretty good price in my opinion. Other G35 coupes with similar mileage had list prices of $1000 more on Autotrader but I priced it low to sell quickly.

To St. Johns, Newfoundland. Besides the crappy weather, it's not a bad place to live. So far so good.....
