Hey,

I am looking at two 2006 G35 coupes. Both cars seem very well maintained with under 50k miles and are selling for around 15k; both also have 'lemon law buyback' titles due to excessive oil consumption according to the owners.

Can you guys tell me more about those titles, was the issue ever fixed by the Infiniti? Should such low mileages be a red flag? One of the car is basically stock, the other has a few mods (good sound system, nice wheels, ECT) and look like show car

 

Look up the oil consumption thread. The car leaks oil yes, but this doesn't mean the car will explode.

I wouldn't pay 15k for those but 12 is more ballpark.

 

Are you buying them from the dealer? Most likely it has it's 2nd,3rd engine and is still drinking oil to where the original owner was never satisfied..

 

Yes that's exactly what I am thinking. ... how much oil are we talking about here? I don't find topping off the oil every other month but I am want a car that will be reliable for at least 30 miles....

 

There is no telling. consumption is either non at all, a qt in 2-3k, or a lot. Are they for sale at a dealer?

 

Private parties, franchised dealers do not sell G35s anymore except for the occasional trade-ins.

I have the VINs, would the Infiniti customer serve able to help me?

 

With an exact amount of consumption,no. You can get some dealers to read you repair/service history. The best thing to do is work some deal with the seller like a trial period or something.

Actually I can tell you right away its more than 1qt in 1k. that's the manufacturer spec for no good if they've bought it back.
