Hey guys im in the process of purchasing a g35. I came across one and am about to make a deal on it this weekand. I just wanted to check a couple of things. I added pics of the int. and ext. I just want to make sure if this is normal and looks right. Like does everything look in place? Thanks.


Update: Car looks to fishy so im going to just pass. found a better deal somewhere else anyways!

 

Other then the fact that damn near everything is black on the outside, it looks good to me.

 

carfax

 

Looks good, but def get a carfax and have a mechanic checkout the engine.
Can't really tell if it's good just by pics.

You should also ask if he has or had any engine mods on the car.
Not sure what aftermarket rear bumper that is though.

 

It's an automatic. I would pass. Plus it has the ricey tails and headlights. Just screams, "I'm all black, look at me, aint i cool. cause i spent $15 on some black overlays."

 

It looks lowered.
Is it on coilovers or just springs.
The shocks can go bad after sometime if he only swapped the springs out.
Depends on how many miles he put on them.

 

Hard to tell with those pics, but def CARFAX before you buy...

 

Ask about the plates: my '03's plates starts with 5AEX, registered in December of 2002, and the end of 2005 (taillights shows its a '03-'05) were in the middle of the alphabet, somewhere like 5KAA or something. 6DHT was from a couple years ago (aunt's '08 Lexus is 6ALD), which indicates it might be salvaged, but not necessarily: newer plates could've been from the owner moving from out-of-state, or the owner purchased the car with custom plates and he got standard-issue ones when he switched the car into his name.

But nonetheless its kind of a yellow flag and it doesn't hurt to check. In California, plates follow the car; my G35 went thru two owners before me and it kept its original plates the dealership issued, so if I were you I'd be a little bit wary. Details on asking price and year of the car would be nice too, if it seems like too good of a deal then something is obviously shady. Don't be one of those people who shell out less cash for a G and is stuck with a crappy sample of an awesome car.

 

Thanks for the info. Ill ask about the plates. He told me he added an exhaust intake tein springs and taillight overlays and a flush rear bumper. He said he has all stock parts and if I want hell return it to stock or he can give me the stock parts with it. He listed it for 17,000 but agreed to 15,000 Its an 05 with 56k miles

 

also, seems like there is no dual ac function

 

When you turn off the AC/Heat only one side of the indicator light turns on, this is normal.

 

it is missing the dual button itself, bottom row far right. so it doesnt have dual zone

 

lol yes it is

 

whats wrong with black? my tails are painted/tinted and im in the process of putting on my 2nd set of painted headlights....no black wheels tho. do tell how that is ricey. and no i didnt buy overlays....they're done the right way.

 

plate is too new for the year. clean title?
car is too low - did he replace the shock? possible all tires have bad camber wear
headlight painted black - how is the seal?
i believe it is illegal in california to have tinted tail light
