plz man wait, dont buy a g35 at your age. i got one at 17 and it was cheap to buy, but a PITA to maintain and insure. first i would go make a new account and transfer that 3k u got left to account that ur parents dont have access too, then save up for something cheaper and easier to maintain. i about to get rid of mine cuz the cost are greater then the joy of driving it. espeicially if ur getting 23mpg with premium, and i drive 700 miles a week
Could you give me some reasons why its a pain in the ***? MY parents agreed to pay for insurance. I will not be driving 700 miles a week. maybe 80 a week? school is 2 minutes away. Also, its not like i am moving out on my own and have no money. I am living with my parents for another 2 years till i go to college. I have a job that will go towards gas and a savings for when something does happen to the car. also, what are these costs that you are saying are so expensive? oil change every 3k miles, gas, small misc. stuff. What else?

Since your parents are paying, then go for it, just don't wrap it around a tree.

listen buddy- your dad has your best interest and safety at heart.
big deal, you worked for a year and think you know the value of a $? you didn't pay for food, rent, insurance, clothes, education, anything..and now you want a fast car.
you need to learn that just because you worked hard for a year, dreams don't come true overnight.
a lot of people work 40 years and still drive old beat up cars..that's the reality of life. it sounds like your view is skewed, trust me, i was the same way at 16. "i worked so hard for this money i should get whatever i want"..
Just mature a bit, show your dad you have been more mature, and in time, you will get the things you deserve. until then, be grateful for what you do have already.

Everyone here is giving good advice and trust us all that these things are expensive to maintain but with that 8 grand you saved up and your dad hopefully matching that 8, 16 grand can buy you a pretty reliable and solid running g35 in Arizona. I'm from here as well and have been checking out craigslist and there have been many good 16k cars out on the market with lower miles. Then when the mileage starts adding up you'll hopefully have enough saved to cover any issues. I was in a similar situation as you 2 years ago, and take it from me as long as you can find a reliable and well maintained car you won't regret your decision.

It also depends a lot on how much you drive. If I know I won't be driving much, I won't mind getting a car with more miles.
