Someone offered you $15000 for an '03 with 80k miles? Locally I had a black on black '04 with the same package as yours with 80k at a local dealership that the dealer tried to sell for 12k with no takers. Before I found my '05 I went and looked at it... it was nice but way to many miles. If that guy is still wanting your car and you think you're gonna sell it you need to jump on that, because I have a feeling you won't find too many others willing to pay that for 80k+ miles on the car.

I am not trying to be a smarta**. I would really like to know why a number of G35 owners are so enamored of the LEXUS IS 350. It has 306hp and after checking several sources for 0-60 times it is about as fast as a 2003 G35 coupe. Some post the G35 quicker some the Lexus but we are talking about .2 seconds either way. Even the 2011 has 306 horsepower against the G37s 330hp. It's a four door sedan. You guy's would prefer to drive a four door sedan over either of the Infiniti coupes 35 or 37. Please explain.

I don't know where you're getting your performance numbers. The 0-60 time posted on the Lexus site for the 350 is 5.6. The posted 0-60 time on the G37 on C&D is 5.3 seconds. The G is faster. The posted time on a 2003 G35 coupe (the car you own) is 5.85 seconds that's .25 seconds slower that the 350. Looks are completely subjective. Resale values in this economy are a crap shoot at best. You've got someone willing to pay $15,000 for an 03 with 80K miles. Just checked Autotrader for 2009 G37s and 2009 IS 350s resale values are about the same.

lately i've notice quite a few G35's with brembos. When i was looking for mine, i just wanted one in 6MT in ivory pearl white with black interior and wingless. I guess i got lucky and got one with brembo package also

the is350 is a better luxury car and the g35 is a better sports car. The interior of the is350 is little bit nicer then the g35 but i think the g35 has better performance.
I would just keep the g35 and save more and get a gs350. The interior of the gs350 is light years better then the is350.
As for the is250, dont even think about touch that car. There known to have valve tapping issues even at low mileage.

I did not only check C&D I checked other sources and the C&D number is accurate. Why would C&D have a reason to lie. The Autotrader prices on the 2006 G35 and 2006 IS 350 are also about identical. These are the retail prices from the dealers. I'm not arguing with you. I'm just checking the facts. Now, the question is why with everything you stated above did you buy the G35. Again, I am not hassling you. I am just curious.
