Really, how bad are the rattles?

I've read a ton of posts on here complaining about rattles in the G. I'm thinking about buying in the next six months or so and was wondering what everyone's experience was with the rattles? Obviously, you all are dealing with them because you still have your cars. But how bad are they? I'm just concerned about dropping close to $40k on a car that rattles constantly. Any insight would be appreciated.

every car has it's rattles. It's just annoying sometimes but only when you focus on it. For me, there seems to be a slight rattle near the rear speakers...dealer couldn't replicate the sound and sometimes I can't either.

04 Coupe, No Rattles ... but then again .. i have my music turned up all the time. If you want no rattles .. simply hit the Volume button about 20 times and you'll be fine

I've been in G's that the owners thought had no rattles. I think Gs have rattles, owners have different hearing thresholds. Thing is, the rattles bother me in the winter when the music is off... but 95% of the time, I love driving the car and the rattles dont really take away from the experience at all.

I honestly don't notice any rattles. Are these rattles from the chassis itself? Tires? Shift ****? Where?

The rare occasion that I have no music on, and no windows opened where its dead silent, I can occasionally hear some slight rattles. But nothing that would ever get to me. Even if all I do is crack the window it can cover up the sound. It honestly has to be dead silent in order to be heard.

i get rattles from my rear view mirror... its because of all the bass at high volumes that i subject it to.... but that usually is on and blocking it out... i only notice it when i have my music really low but the bass is still present like volume around 6-7 which is only when i have my gf in the car and she wants to talk to me...
