I just bought my first g35 3 days ago it's an 03 blue g35 with 83,xxx on it, found it on cars.com for 9995 the jerks at the dealership tried telling me that was a cash price and the actual price was 12,000, I laughed and said nope I'm paying 9995 and that's final he "talked" to his manager and said the best they could do was 10,100 I said nope I'm only doing 9995 that's final he went back and talked to him again and finally agreed to the price, I still feel like I over payed :/

New Hope Auto - 61st street between 8th avenue and Fort Hamilton parkway in Brooklyn.
Best mechanic in brooklyn imo, tell Roger that Kurt sent you and you'll get a friendly discount
As for potential problems you should be aware of at that mileage:
Worn out differential bushings causing the fluid to leak
Timing belts
Oil leaking out through valve covers
Misfires from certain coil packs
Im at 100k and those were the 3 problems that I ran through.

05 DG 6MT w/Stillen Sway Bars, Front and Rear Strut Braces and Unorthodox aluminum stock pulleys, 126K. I replace spark plugs, transmission fluid, belts, differential fluid, coolant and clean the fuel injection system every 60k. Just your normal oil consumption (1/2qt) every oil change. Still runs like a champ.

'06 G35 coupe 6MT
My second G35 coupe is a 2006 sport/premium 6MT that I found on AutoTrader, it was pampered, garaged with car cover, only driven in fair weather, with only 16,800 miles. Not even a scratch, just a few small rock chips. Still has the original factory tires, oil changed every 2k miles or less, it's like having a 1 or 2 year-old car. I paid extra to have it shipped in an enclosed truck from OH to OR and it was well worth it. She arrived 4/27/15 and being my DD has 18,600 miles now. I'm a lot more careful now where I park and how close I get to curbs.
My first G35 coupe I bought new in 2005, 6MT sport, same color (Lakeshore Slate), and traded-in with 82k miles last September, on a used 2013 Scion FR-S. Missed my G so much I searched high and low for another with low miles, and got lucky! I really like the styling and head/tail light upgrades from '05 to '06. It came with the grilles and I have since removed the airdam and switched the side marker lenses with clear ones (need to take new pics).
