Yes...tonight I bought an 03 Brilliant silver 6MT Coupe with Navi....31.5K miles...well kept...drives great...I am so excited...this comes with a big relief as well...I got to dump my two vehicles as trades....ended up only having to pay like $165 in sales tax on the purchase with $26k tax credit for the trades....anyway, now I feel like a legitimate member to the forum....will post some pics soon, but it's just another silver G35...probably won't mod it much...maybe some overlays on the tails....an air intake, maybe some rims/tires down the road....dealer wasn't ready for me, thing needs a bath already...how can I be expected to sleep now?

Imagine what the original owner had to trade it in for, unless it was a new Vette. Just when one mentions Chevy and Dodge (not knocking them), the G seems like a little gem in comparison

4 days with my coupe so far...

just a few little things that appear to be common for 31k miles from what I read here...

-clutch gives a couple clicks during use
-droning noise most prominent in right front (thinking wheel bearing)
-door windows leave grease mark on inside after rolling up
-slight whine in first gear
-slight drift to the right (probably tire related, but they are new(ish) Yokohamas)
-shift **** plastic shift pattern plate is peeling


Also, it needs 30k service (brakes, tranny/diff fluid, etc.?) and a good detail job...and I don't know if synth oil has been used or not. That's it so far. Great f**kin car tho...I love it...weather is supposed to be good here tomorrow, so I'm out for some photos to post....

Looks great! Silver is a sharp color on the coupe. I am jealous of your spiffy golden brake calipers. (I may not be so much when you get your Brembo brake refresher bill.)

Enjoy!
