get the gray one. its better to get the one that's had service done at the dealership and is more likely to have had most of the problems our cars came with fixed under warranty.

btw, nothing wrong with getting a auto g.

The cloth seats are actually a lot nicer than you'd expect. Like someone else said, they might actually last longer and wont rip like the leather would.

I don't think either are really overpriced either, since both are from a dealership and are pristine. I've been following these cars in my area for about a year and haven't found any much cheaper. From an individual seller I could find a much better deal, but I want something with the security of a warranty to cover any problems I run into.

^ This is correct. My advice is wait and keep searching. Like others have said if you buy the car without every option/color you want you will regret it in the long run. I searched for mine for about a year until i found the condition/options i wanted (04 6MT black/black, all options, 15k miles). Good luck with your search!

I would much rather buy a car from an individual than a dealer. Having worked at a dealership I don't trust salesman at all. The dealership also has the resources to cover up problems easy. For example if there is any body damage the dealer can just take it by there body shop and get it resprayed and it never shows up on the carfax.

I couldnt have said it better myself i searched for weeks to find my car and glad i did. Just wait it out a little bit and find what your looking for.

Ended up getting the one i looked at today.

Twilight Blue, 53k miles, 5AT, tan leather/moonroof/bose audio/heated seats etc. Honestly after i drove this one and the other 6MT, i kinda liked the auto better. My 325i is a 5MT, and its a nice transition for when i get lazy and dont feel like using a clutch. The tiptronic also isnt quite as bad as i thought

Ended up paying 14.8k for the car, and 1.5k for a 3 year/45k mile warranty that covers the entire cost of any service at a infiniti dealer near me. Think I made out decent.

Drove it all day today and im absolutely in love. Handles as tight as brother's Mini Cooper S but much smoother. Really impressed with the 0-60 times and the 60-100 as well.

Ill get up some pics of it tomorrow night.

1.5k for 3 yr warranty is good. i think i've only spent like 500 on maintenance for my car in 2 years. i guess i'm the only one that got a G thats not a lemon
