I'm interested in buying a 2004 G35 Sedan off a private seller who doesn't speak very good English, her mother tongue is Spanish I believe. When I asked her over email whether the transmission was automatic or not she said it had the full luxury package I have no idea what that means. But I won't be able to get a hold of her until tonight to actually ask her over the phone what the transmission is, and even then I'm not sure if she'd understand. Fortunately my mom also speaks fluent Spanish as well so if I'm bringing my mom along as a translator if need be. I was wondering if anyone could save me the trouble to determine whether full luxury package meant that Automatic (tiptronic) or manual transmission...or could it be either? Thank you.

 

i'm pretty sure from the kind of girl she is, it's an automatic. I don't think there is such a thing as the "full luxury package" when it comes to the G. She probably doesn't know what transmission even means, and if she doesn't know that it's a safe bet it is an automatic.

 

WTF is a "full luxury package"?... the car is only a "semi luxury sport sedan" with more emphasis on "sport" than "luxury"...

Tell the seller to take 20% off asking price for trying to blow smoke up your @ss.

 

Theres no such thing as full luxury package. Maybe she meant "Its a pretty nice car."

And im also going to bet its an auto.

Do you have pics? i'll tell you right now what tranny it has just by the wheels that are on the car.

 

Also says it is All-wheel Drive (AWD)

 

If its AWD, its automatic for sure, and if it has those wheels it is ALSO an automatic.

So moral of this thread, its an automatic with premium package.


Case, closed.

 

AWD = AUTOMATIC. that's the only tranny that comes with AWD, no matter what year or level of "luxury".

 

yeah it definitely has at least premium package A, I can see the rear headrest.

 

LOL - yep, she probably meant "premium package"... premium means full luxury in Spanish (I guess )

 

^ahahaha 'El Premioma Packago.'

 

lol thank you guys. I appreciate the help

 

How in the world can you tell what tranny it has by the wheels on the car. Ive seen automatics with the 5 spoke wheels and 6 spoke wheels at the dealerships. It just means it has or doesnt have the sport package.

To the OP, awd comes in automatic only.

 

come on we all know that you can just add O's to the end of words to make them spanish!

 

I can give you a good clue of what it is. If it has 5 spokes, it has the possibility to be 6spd. If it has the non sport wheels, then it is an auto unless somebody bought those wheels.
