well have about a week and a half with my G its a 2004 g35 coupe i just hit the 30k on it bought it with 29788 miles i belive the car was parked for awhile was in a small fender bender from what i can tell i have some small issues that i need to look into my vdc light is on wont turn off as well as my slip and ses light. i scanned the cars ecu and the codes it read were large vacum leak bank 1 amd 2 and either crank or cam positioning censor is out the car runs great except it runs reall really rich the cars cats were removed they were clogged but i plan to put some high flows later on as well today i was driving and my oil light blinked once then that was it i checked oil and it seemed full but when i would start the car i would hear a slight knocking as if it hadnt picked up oil well i put half a qt of oil and seemed to solve the issue. as well when i removed the oil cap some smoke came out is that normal ? sorry for all the questions im just a newb and want to get educated lol car runs strong i dont think theyre major issues but any infor is appreciated other wise than that i LOVE this car price i got it for was 10.5k
well here are some pics

 

Congrats on the new car but if you only payed $10.5k for the car with less than 30K on the clock you either got one hell of a deal or the car has major hidden problems with it. The market for these cars is at least $16k with that kind of mileage. Now seeing as you have a bunch of lights going off I would assume you got the short end of the stick. I'm no career mechanic so I would suggest you take the car to get looked at ASAP & hopefully if it is something wrong with the car & you bought it from a lot there might be some kind of lemon law in Texas to help you.

 

Noice

 

i believe i got a good deal with interest im going to be paying around 13k the car just needs some TLC i believe but like i said just trying to get some imput :-)

 

welcome to the forums. You can try replacing the cps sensors. Are those pin stripes along the door? if so, i would remove them because they make the panel gaps on your door look huge.

 

yes they are along the door and i do want to remove them dont know how though

 

Looks CLEAN. Remove that dealer sticker on the left side of the trunk, doesn't take much but ur finger nails and some glue remover.

 

You never add interest into the loan and say you paid that much for it in the end. Do you realize what an amortization schedule looks like when you buy a house. You can buy a house for $150,000 at say 4% rate and after 30 years you will end up paying $150,000 principal and $107,804 interest. Are you telling me you will tell your friends the house is worth $257,804 when market value is $150,000-$180,000. You paid $10.5k for the car and if you win the lottery and pay it off tomorrow then you will not end up paying $13k for it more like $10.8k.

Now back to the problem on hand which is those Christmas lights on your dashboard. Check your brake fluid level, go to autozone and have them run the codes and post up the exact codes. You probably need to check the crank position sensors and camshaft position sensors. Also get an oil change done asap on that vehicle. More than likely it was dry on oil if the light came on. That is not a gas light that turns on when you are low as a warning. When the light comes on that means the engine is pretty much bone dry and no pressure. Also check all the hoses for intake, plenum, brake booster and pcv to see if you have any leaks or puncture in the hose.

 

13k for an 05 with 29.8 on the clock is still a killer deal, unreal deal actually. My friend just bought is 05 with 83k on the odo for 12.7 before interest

.

 

you have a point never saw it that way and i took it to autozone and youre right they told me it was one of those two censros but he said it might be the plugs throwing those censors since they might be bad well regardless im doing a tune up this weekend and going from there thanks for the advice

 

Here is the vin check as requested and keep in mind the vehicle had hail damage and salvage title from August 2007 in LOUISIANA. That would be related to I am guessing is Tropical storms or hurricanes. You will want to check all the electrical for any sort of flood damage, corrosion or damaged wiring.

Edit: What also worries me is the car fell of the grid from Aug 2007-present. I would run a car fax and see if you can pull infiniti records from the dealership direct

 

car looks clean as hell but sounds like you will be paying a little extra to fix all the problems. damn, salvage title too?

 

yea as far as i can tell the car only has body work on the hood andi think on the roof, i think it was a good buy car runs great just needs some TLC it couldve been minor hail damage and they do the car salvage title on my old mustang that was the case the \car had minimal hail damage but the insurance just total lossed it becasue of all the claims from other vehicles they had its much easier to taltal loss a car.

 

WOW!!! That is amazing! You really found a low mileage G. Hope you have a lot of fun w/ her.

 

i see, yeah we don't really have to worry about hail here in nj definitely a good price especially with the super low mileage! i just hit 35k in my '04 about a month ago too.
