I am 18 years old so I am always thinking about a way to make a quick dollar. I have someone who wants to trade there FX35 for my G35 coupe. It would be a clean trade and I would sell back the FX35 right after because I know that it is worth more than my car. I made some calculations and I think that I could get away with about $2,500 profit after taxes and all that. What do you guys think? Should I make the trade? Is the FX35 worth more than my coupe?

Here is the car that he wants to give me

Thanks.

 

I want to know how you gained 20HP and 20TQ from a CAI. And whats with that Nismo sticker, I thought you were taking that off?
Search the internet, sites like MSN Auto, Edmunds, Carfax etc... will give you a guestimate of current value. If you know the condition of the FX35, call a dealership and see what those normally go for. Many resources... Plus, you may or may not find a buyer for the FX, depending on the price you want to sell it for.

If I were to do this, I would try to get a buyer for the FX before swapping, that way you know whether your going to profit or not.

 

haha! since when is debadging the rear worth $30?
