I'd sell you my Brembo 2004 coupe with a 6MT for $5000... if I were looking to sell but I'm not. Heads up, there's a lot of bondo. As for that ad, you need to look underneath it and determine how many new parts there are to see whether it's worth what he's asking. IMO a stock normally maintained (change the oil and drive) G with high mileage isn't a fun to drive car 15 years later.... mostly because if you drive it hard everyday everything rubber will just break, the DMF will wear out, etc etc etc.

i got him down to 4500 on it.. I know im not going to get perfect .. but he said its been very well maintained.. no rust, regular oil changes.. etc.. basically just going to park it in the barn couple of drives here and there.. then next march 2020 tax return buy motor mounts, lower control arms new sway bar with bushings new exhaust,new water pump and timing chain set.. basically go through it and fix it up so i can drive it hard.. and have fun
what do you think? know anyone that has a better deal for 4500?

oh i just found the listing on facebook market place.. this car is mint on the body and frame.. couple tears in the seats that can always be redone.. under the hood is clean zero rust and very well taken care of. there is a reason it has 180 k on it .. its pretty much stock under the hood and i thin k this is going to be my G..

Why was the radiator replaced, did they properly flush and burp the system, also did the water pump get replaced are some question's I would be asking. If you go look at, I personally would let it warm up, then check the fluids in the radiator to see if there is any discoloration and full, also check the oil for coolant. Also I would find out if they are going to Clean it up before you buy it. If not I would knock off a few bucks to pay for a detail.

Thank you all for the feedback.. After some more hunting I actually found a better deal.. 2006 Black coupe 6MT VQDEHR, 130k alot better condition then the previous one, tons of mods, receipts for everything. a maintenance log,
Only thing wrong with it, grinds going into 5th gear when your getting on it.. He said normal driving up and down smooth as butter no grinding. I think it might be the adjustment plate under the boot of the stick. Even if i had to replace 5th gear. for the condition of the car inside and out, its pretty awesome.. 4800 i pick it up from IL 3/13

That's not how manual gearboxes work, 5th gear synchro is probably shot. Not a big deal if it's mild grinding and a lot can be mitigated by trying out different gear oil (heck it might even be low or really really old fluid). The engine is VQ35DE rev-up, not a VQ35HR motor. Can't wait to see some pictures of it, good luck on the purchase.

Thank you Cleric.. Yeah I meant to say rev up motor. FOr the 5th gear grind he said it wasent that bad maybe I can just pull in 1 through 4 for now lol ease up into 5 and 6.. first thing i do when i get it is a full fluid flush on every system. After that , new water pump and timing chain, then start modding it out how I want it.. plenum spacer, throttle body spacer, full CAI, headers, full motordyne tdx shockwave dual exhaust, new lower control arms with poly, new poly motor mounts, sway bar with new bushings, whiteline diff bushings, aluminum radiator, vented oil catch can, exedy stage 1 clutch with lightwheight fly wheel, and last but not least ( my fav mod) 57 inch carbon wing for her ***.because im a peacock and i have to fly..lol
seriously though, thats my mod list.. up grade the head lights.. and a gauge pod..
