Picked up an 06 Serengeti Sand Coupe yesterday

I've been looking for a good deal on a G35 coupe and finally found one! Its a 2006 Serengeti Sand Metallic coupe with 41k miles. At first I didn't really like the color in the pics, but in person I would say it looks much better and classy. It has the premium package and is only missing Nav and RAS package (as far as I can tell). Unfortunately, it was missing the OEM rays but I'm looking to pick up a set if I can find them locally without spending too much. There are a couple scratches and the front bumper is scraped up underneath the front which seems pretty common. Also some clear coat spots are coming off a little. But it runs well and doesn't seem to burn any oil. Ill check as I drive it more. I picked it up from a lady in Delaware for $15k.

So far I love the car! I love the growl from the exhaust but here are a couple pics I took yesterday.

I wish I had pictures to share, but I'm one of the people who are too self-conscious to have a full picture uploaded... haha. Do you have anything planned for the G?

Edit:
Also just noticed you have sport front and sport sides. Excellent find man!

Thanks! But not too much right now, I first want to get the rays, or a set of v2 track wheels from a Z but other than that, just enjoy driving it. If I can find some good deals on small parts from cl then i may pick something up. Its hard being in school and modding a car haha

Nice Pickup bro. I too picked up the infamous super rare 06 Serengeti Sand Coupe on 1/24/09 for $19,999 with 17,000 miles has every option except navi and ras. it also came with the oems 19s, Bluetooth, and the intelligent key. Just wait until the mod bug hit. Enjoy your car and clean her every week. lol.
