Which is the best deal?

I have been searching for the right G35 for about 6 months now and I have found 3.

2007 Pearl White MT Navi, Spoiler - 50,000 miles ~ $21,500
2005 Pearl White MT Navi, - 42,000 miles ~ $19,500
2005 Blue MT Navi, Spoiler - 73,000 miles ~ $17,500

What would be the lowest I could negotiate for either one? PLEASE HELP!

I recently just purchased my G and I was shopping for a while aswell. I negotiated but didnt purchase an 05 Black Coupe AT Double Din Pioneer Nav, Spoiler, luxury pkg. - 53,000 miles - $16,800 with tax/tag/title out the door. In Pompano Beach, Fl

I ended up purchasing an 03 Black 6MT coupe dropped on Eibach Springs (black color springs so I think prokit?), 19" RPM staggered rims on new Nitto NT555, tint, Injen CAI, TB Spacer (Came with the car I know it doesnt do anything), Plenum Spacer, 2JL 10" with JL mono block amp, Spoiler, no Sunroof which I like because its unique and its too damn hot in Fl - 83,000 miles but has factory extended warranty till the end of this year or 100,000 miles whichever comes first - Private Party - $13,800 with tax/tag/title in Orlando, Fl

Hope this helps also I was a cash buyer so take that into negotiation consideration.

Oh and to answer original question sorry ... I would pay 17,000 cash tax/tag/title out the door for the 2005 Pearl White MT Navi, - 42,000 miles ... I think there isnt too much of a difference between the 05 and 07 besides the projector headlights which i would just buy and put on the 05 ... just my .02 cents

That depends entirely on personal taste, and your bank roll. But you want opinions, don't you? You're in luck, because I am full of opinion.

I would look at miles first.

I am not a fan of any of the OEM spoilers, so I would prefer w/o.

Navi means nothing to me. I have a GPS but almost never need it. I would rather save the money on that as it is something that becomes antiquated quickly. Who doesn't have a smart phone these days anyway?

The 03 and 04 models had some issue. The 05s were redesigned, and the older model issues were resolved. The 06 and 07 models were much like the 05, but with redesigned heads and tails. Like sweetpoiro mentioned, I would look for a G model year 05-07.

I like the original head and tails, but if I got bored I know I could drop the projectors and the redesigned 06-07 tails on an 05 for well under $1K, especially if I got them used and did the swap my self.

All that said, I would definitely go with the 05 IP 6MT here.

A few pointers when buying any used car:
1) Run the AutoCheck. It is much more complete than the Carfax in my experience.
2) Take the vehicle to an independent mechanic, and have it checked out for any sign of an accident, etc...
3) Find a fair price. Look for similar cars in your local market. KBB the car. Average out the prices you are seeing and knock some off.
4) Don't haggle. Come in with cash, and present the total amount you are willing to pay. Make it clear that the number you give them includes tax/tag/title. Stick to your guns, and be ready to walk if you don't get the price you want.

So I don't know how much that helps you, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

I look at miles and age.
in that list the 05 with 47k miles is the best deal, if you can get the price down to about 18k (which you can)
