Need advice on a deal

Hi Guys,

I know a dealer who is willing to give a 05 AT with 85000 miles on it for $15000. Do you guys think its a good deal considering its high mileage? I need some advice on how long do these G35s last.

Let me know your thoughts.

Allstar, it's not really about how many miles of our G35s it's how they were taken care of. I sold my last Z with 125K mile on the clock and it was like new and still on the road without issues. That's about $3K too high for a G35 that's probably not in mint condition! If you want this G offer him $12K, unless it's very well taken care of that's what they go for....

That sounds a little bit high but you haven't really given us enough info. Does it have Bose/Navigation/19"rims/spoiler etc? How many owners? I bought mine from a dealer and part of the reason I bought it was because it was a lease return with low miles. Still smelled new!

Just got back after checking out the car. It is premium pkg with Nav, 18" rims and spoiler. It was the Athens Blue color, which I liked also.. but the coupe somehow didnt give me the connection. Also, the dealer said they do not negotiate. All cars there were just take it or leave it.

Sorry man, keep looking for a car with the sport package, and someone willing to negotiate a better price.

Pass. Leased/rental cars get the sh*t beat out of them.

That's....^....possible, but it really depends on the individual leasing the car. My leased cars go back spotless, my daughters cars go back in poor shape cause her 3 & 6 year old sons eat and play in the back seat. Continual spilled juice/milk/cookies/sandwiches, it will never get cleaned up....if you can't see it the smell of sour milk will never go away!

My lease return looked and smelled brand new. If you didn't really "feel" the car and he won't negotiate, then move on. In today's market, there are too many cars for sale and not enough buyers. It should be a win win purchase. Keep looking! It took me about 4 months of looking online everyday to find mine and it is fckn PERFECT!
