Hey thanks for all the replies! I have the mt with leather no navi in silver I have the records of all the maintenance. Clutch was replace at 70k. Everything works so far...knock on wood lol. I do need to change the bottom light on the door my the driver seat, new front tires, and get e break adjusted. Car was well maintain. as for the plan, I want to get those things done, paint rims in different color, cold air intake, perhaps some new exhaust system and a g35driver sticker!

My '04's driver side lock is beginning to malfunction too. It sort of "sticks", works sometimes with the remote, others I have to use the key.
Also expect to replace the window motor at some point if it hasn't been already. And not that anyone uses CD's anymore, but never ever put 6 cds in the 6 cd player at one time!

Other than that, I have had no issues, and mine has 98000 on it!

I bought my 04 G brand-new in September of 03. It has not been a completely issue-free experience, but most of the issues I've encountered are typical and relatively minor.

Yep... both of mine are hit or miss. Some times they work and other times, forget about it. My hardwired V1 somewhat helps out with the first issue, though.

Maybe it you're FI, but my G gets much better MPG at 98K miles then it did brand-new. Now, I get to 310 miles or so until I get a low fuel light. (city driving)

My OEM clutch seemed to go out sooner then I expected... it lasted about 40K miles. This was OK since it gave my an opportunity to throw in a lightweight flywheel. But all and all, this has been a great car for the last nine years. I've considered replacing it with an E92 M3, but I can't bring myself to part ways with it.

Any rust issue? I got a bit of rust by the rear passenger. Any advice on how to approach this? I went to bodyshops and they said 400-500$ for the job
