not OTD. I was going to offer 19-19.5k OTD

When did you buy? That seems like a sweet price you got.

KBB Bluebook is 23k retail, 19k private party. Those are both non-CPO. Seems going back just one year to 2004 sets the price down quite a bit, possibly due to design and engine changes? I know there were changes between the model years.

I searched autotrader and it appears from looking the deal is decent but I could do better.

Do lights have to have the focused beam lense housing to be xenon btw? They are saying the car has HID lighting, yet they look like normal lights... it was daytime so it was really hard to tell..

They do not look like Audi/BMW/Newer Infiniti headlamps to me at all. (with the convex lens covering the lighting element)

i got it about 2-3 weeks ago at a infiniti dealership.

i had a non navi, grey/black prem model 05 with 40k that i was going to get for 16.5 OTD but it sold before i came back at the same place. so instead i got the navi with lesser miles.

So what would be a good offer? The car seems to be in good condition and very clean.. would 18OTD be a proper offer?

Not a good deal IMO. For reference, 2007 G35 Sedans are starting to go for low $20k in my area. Expect them to go even lower as soon as the G37 Sedans roll out.

Here's a few listings:

Maybe it make sense to wait until closer to the end of the year so snag myself a good deal on an '07 then. Hmm..

those are projectors you are talking about.. the 06+ g35s have them.. the older years still had HID bulbs which means they are xenon or w/e but use a reflector instead of a projector to make the light shine forward
