Yes, I understand about safety and stability if going with smaller tires. In future I will find some cheap tires and try it. Like I said I go only 10mm wider and my mpg decrease 10%-20% on Solara v6.
Btw. CAI or just some short intake improve mpg for G35 or not???

True but I would recommend Autocheck for the frame damage. Lets see that is now 4 members I have ran an Autocheck and carfax missed the Frame damage.

Even this dealer speaks about how Carfax will miss the Frame damage

Either way make sure to get both reports and finally before you sign anything have a mechanic and body shop inspect the vehicle along with getting service records from infiniti.

Just FYI I'm in the middle of my first build / rebuild... For me it's ok since I got the car cheap enough, I LOVE a good puzzle & wanted to learn about the car personally.

You do get what you pay for. I wouldn't buy a car with a rollback. and lease returns are a case by case basis.

In So Cal my bud scored a 04 W 66K stick for 13.5K...( had 3 minor issues,light rim rash, one HID was out, front bushings we're starting to go ) You just gotta look..
