Hello, new to this forum. Been in love with G35's for a long time now and finally have some funds freed up to get one!

Here is the link to the car to be exact, any help is definately appreciated! Id offer $16k

Thanks

Here is an '03 as well. A friend has told me to stay away from the 03's due to an issue with the electrical system shorting out the battery. Here is a link to it as well. Id offer $13k

I think both your prices are spot-on. I consider those pretty good deals for the years/mileage/condition.

 

prices are both about right, i'd opt for the 05 coupe cause its newer, you could probably get it for 16.5K, i'd pay up to 17K no problem, mine had 15K less miles and i paid 19.5K but no accidents on it at all.

 

you will never get that for 16k out the door

good luck though

 

i got my 05 sedan with 39xxx miles for 16,300 out the door and it was/is in great shape. its possible

 

Heres an 04 with 64k. I got them down to 15,800 but I feel its a bit too much. Opinions on price??

Where are you located?

By my area's standards, that's a little high, but that's expected at dealerships.

I would try to buy from a private seller, it will be much cheaper.

 

houston, tx. i was just in the thread about the oil pooling in the cylinders, i should of joined this forum a long time ago!

maybe i can go there and pull the coil packs and have them add a big *** discount! how long do i have until the warranty expires in this one?

 

It's most probably out of warranty:;

4 yrs/60000 miles - bumper to bumper
6 yrs/70000 miles - powertrain

 

Can anyone shed any light to this?

 

It's not an electrical issue per se. The 03-04 radios are known to have a faulty control board that seems to crap out leaving the radio and climate controls inoperable. Doesn't happen to all of them but it affects quite a few. Most owners just replace with a DD afternarket radio and problem solved.

For used cars, my philosophy is always get the last model year.

Save up a little more and just get an 07. That way you know that the car has every single fix/upgrade/recall/tweak already done to it before the G35 was discontinued.

Major upgrades between model years are easy to identify.. but not so much the little tweaks (hardware or software) that only internal engineers would know about.

 

Id go for the 05. Its newer. But if possible take rimshakers advice and get an 06-07. Less problems.

 

i'de go for the 03 brembo brakes ftw
