Hello all. I am looking at the g35 as a first car, and I'm obviously going to buy it used. I've done some research and I have a couple listings I would like some of you pros to look at, and let me know. On a side note, how many miles are too many when buying a g35 coupe? my budget is around 13ishk max.

That's it for now. Thank you all in advance, and hope to get to know most of you!

 

Number 1 looks good and the mileage is low for an '04, I wouldn't consider it without a CARFAX. Also ask if they have any maintenance records for this coupe. The third car looks good too but I couldn't believe how filty they left the engine.

^ lol....u think they woulda cleaned the engine up when you post pics of it for sale

 

I'm going to keep doing some research. How many miles would be too much when taking my budget into account?

 

Yea, u'd think! Either that or don't show pic of what's under the hood if it hasn't been cleaned since it left Japan....

dang the prices for our cars are dropping

 

Good! haha. I am in absolute love with this car, and I've noticed it too. A couple months ago they were a bit more expensive but now theyre getting to the point where I can actually really afford them, where as before it was more of a "if my parents decided to help me" kinda deal.

 

you can get a good 130,000 miles easy out of the car, but stuff will usually start to be needing replacing around 90k miles. i agree with commenst above, number 1's mileage seems low for a 7-8 year old car

 

130 easy so I could get a lot more huh? that's good. So if I cant find ones with good mileage I should look above 90?

 

the higher in mileage, the cheaper the price gets (since more and more parts will eventually need replacing).... just make sure you carfax it. i bought a 2006 sedan with 104,000 miles super well maintained with all maintenance records, only to find out he spun it back 28,000 miles.... so car really should have 132,000 miles on it, but it drives beautifully! but for example seller spent 400$ fixing A/C a month before selling to me. i got a sick deal on it (11,000$ before i found out he rolled it back, made him give me back 2000$, so paid 9000$). that 2000$ is my budget for repairs (hopefully) over next 2-4 years

if you can find a car that was maintained like clockwork at a dealership, and had maintenance records, thats a good indication for what youre buying, and helps to have it for when you resell it in the future

 

the first one with 44,532 miles has obviously been in an accident. look at the third picture (the one that shows the drivers side rear) the driver side quarter panel was repainted doesnt even match the rest of the car its to dark

 

Can anyone run a carfax on some of these?

 

checking carfax is good but it wont show any repairs done privately. take the time and the money and take it to a nissan/infiniti dealership for inspection and records. remember you rather lose a few 100 dollars than make a 15k mistake
