Hi guys,

I'm in the market to buy an '03 Infiniti G35 - it's only clocked around 88,000kms and from the look of it, seems in pretty tip top shape. The only issues I've seen with it are the rims have a few scuff marks on them (possibly hit a curb at some point) and the passenger seat heating button is misaligned. The dealer is charging me around $9000 (Canadian Dollars) which translates to about 7080 USD, all in. He's offered to fix the misaligned heater button as well. I believe it's also had 2 owners, the last of which only drove the car during the summer.

I checked Kelly Blue Book and it's on the higher end of the scale with regards to pricing. Think it's worth it?

 

A low miles car like that basically falls outside the "standard" pricing. Know that sites like KBB give you an AVERAGE based on data, they never show you high high and low outliers that the data is comprised of.

I would have the vehicle inspected by the local Infiniti or Nissan dealership if it's being sold by any other dealer, have them pull the Carfax or another and look for any recorded maintenance history. If it meets all your criteria and is exactly the vehicle you're looking for then pull the trigger and buy it.

At the price they're asking you might be able to sweeten the pot a little by getting them to include a free wheel alignment or a couple free oil changes. Don't be afraid to haggle, that's how the game is played

 

Also, since it's an '03 you should Google the differences between an early and a later '03. Personally would pass on an early '03 they have a mechanical belt-driven fan, later '03 used dual electric fans.

If it was an early '03 and it was $2k less I would "consider" it...

 

I think that's too high for an 03 but the mileage is a big bonus.
