Which g35 would you buy?

Im looking at purchasing my first g35 and I was wondering which of the 2 cars I should pick.

first is 2003 g35 coupe 52k mileage.- listed at 13.6k
second is 2006 g35 coupe with 71k mileage.- listed at 14.6k

Would the three years differnce be worth the buy?

Are they manual or automatic? I'd go for the 06, that's a good price for it too.

I have a 04 and if I could go back I'd opt for a 06-07. The interior is way nicer, and i believe there are less (remember, i said LESS) creaks and groans in the later models. but I may be wrong about that. I'd do it for only the interior lol. Also the 06 comes with projector headlights, which now are expensive.

Both G35s are a good buy, which one you buy should depend on service records and history. Fax report should tell you if either one has been in an accident. Both cars being equal then it would depend on the visual, which do you like? Had you posted pic we would have made that decision for you.

id compare the car fax's, cars options each one is equipped with and the life left on the tires of each G.
what colors are they? both sound like a good buy, but if you get the 03 you'll wish you had the 06 headlights later haha

I'd wanna get the '03 just due to the insanely low miles, however the '06 is the "better car" and as mentioned above is priced really low. Decisions... nah jk get the '06.

2006 - for $1k more you'll be happier when you goto resell it.

I hate seeing I could have spent a lot less if I only would have waited a bit longer

My 05 AT w/ 59k miles when I bought it was $16k

strictly resell value, the '06 would be a better bet.
but besides that, the real question is what color are they? if the '03 is carribean blue, that's the rarest color on a g35 coupe. if you're into that stuff it might be something to consider.
