Good deal on a used G35?
I'm really thinking of trading in my current car for another car and the G35s are looking good to me lately. I currently see a deal for an 06 G35, manual tranny, w the Premium and Sports packages. It has 60k and is listed at $19k (from a dealership). Does it seem like a good/decent deal? What should I be looking out for as far as maintenance? Thanks for all the help.

Owned by a Granny actually scares me. I think mostly means the dealer is bull****ting you or the car has been negleted. Because, im more than sure grannies proly not up to dae with maintanance, proly put chea gas, brake violently and get on the gas hard, causing extra wear and tear on the tranny. I'd rather buy a car from a enthusiast in mid 20's or 30's who knew the car, listened to sounds it made, and drove the car like a normal person even if that person drove spiritedly once in a while.
19k for a sedan is too much and little too much for a coupe. But definetly too much for a sedan. Keep looking.

This one is a 4 door. And im in northern california. And of course, I've looked up the kbb value, but I know cars can still be gotten cheaper then that. I was just wondering what other G owners thought (and paid for theirs). Thanks.

I bought my 04 sedan last year with 38k miles for $17k... if you can, try and find out how the car was kept (garaged, maintenance, how many owners previously (hopefully GRANNY))etc. Milage doesn't really mean much if the car was kept well and all maintenance was done... Good Luck ![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)

Mine was bought in SoCal... and financed with sh!ty credit and a low down. You can do it, if they don't go down in price walk out. Patience will help you find the G at a you want.

NADA and KBB don't tell you squat.
the best way to gage the market price for this car is by checking cars.com or autotrader.com (I used cars.com b/c it has a slightly more robust inventory listing). of course, getting input on this forum does help, but that's only a small sample size (not statistically significant) of all the G35's selling these days.
what I recommend doing is simply finding the car you like, and observe the prices of it over the span of a month or so (of course, patience is a virtue).
doing these steps will give you an idea of what is a "fair" market value for the car. then, set your price a few k lower, and then make an offer. as you probably already know, if you don't like their terms, simply walk away.
In terms of mainenance, see if they will certify the car (assuming it is at or under 60k). they may even through that it for free if you can't get them to drop the price.
I got a 2005 G35x in August 2008, and my lone disappointment was taking it in for the 60k service, which cost about $600. so make sure that service milestone has been performed already (included flushes, belt changes, etc.)

Either way, that price is too high.

And I prefer Autotrader. It has far more search options so you can narrow down what you're looking for. I got tired of wading through all the Coupes and non-AWD Sedans on cars.com when I was looking for my AWD. All they've got are keywords, and they're almost useless.
