Power seat won't move back and forth?
So today I went to see a G off craigslist and all went well except a few minor issues.
The issue that was the Worst was the drivers power seat won't move back and forth, and also the oher direction which I'm not familiar with. It will move the seat up and down but nothing other than that. I was curious if this is a simple fix or could be an expensive fix And if anybody has hhad this issue and resolved it?

Even if you can do it yourself, putting in new gears could be a realy PITA. If it isn't the gears, it can be very expensive to buy new seat parts from Infiniti. Keep in mind these seats have a bunch of gears/movement plus heaters and air bags. If you are in love with the car, you can always find used seats here at the marketplace or just put in some racing seats.

Did it make the electric motor noise but just not move? Or did it do nothing at all when you pushed the switch?
If it made the noise, it's probably the teeth on those crappy little plastic gears. It's an easy but surprisingly expensive fix. I believe the replacement parts are like $65.

My only option is to tell the seller that he has to get it fixed or take off a couple hundred off the price.
Also: forgot to mention that the guy is 6 ft 1 and I am 5"10 and its stuck in his position so to press the clutch I have to sloutch in my seat with my head against the back part of the seat and it is really a dumb idea if I buy it as it is. Hah

I hear you can manually move it if you open the seat up. That could be a temporary or even permanent fix. A few weeks ago my passenger seat stopped tilting but would slide forward/backward. I remedied that by spraying WD-40 in the switch and letting it sit overnight, which was a solution that I found here on Driver. There was probably gunk in there preventing it from operating properly/at all. Give that a shot -- it may save you A LOT of money for the time being.
