If you want a coupe go for it, but keep in mine you'll more than likely lose money in the deal.

I was considering the same thing a couple weeks ago. Had the appointment set up and everything but ultimately realized I did not want to go back to a coupe. There is some utility in having 4 doors, and most importantly I've enjoyed the lack attention from police.

You can make the sedan still feel tight and fit, I'd say stick with what you've got.

This is very true. I hadn't even thought to tell you this, but think about it, if you go from a stock sedan to a stock coupe, what have you accomplished? Yeah a coupe will turn a few more heads, but other than that, you're taking a step backwards in every way, including performance. Whereas if you drop that $4000 into the sedan you've got, you'll surely be able to make it turn more heads. I would say a good place to start would be the Z/G35 Coupe spring combo. Lots of guys have done it, if you shop around, it can be done for very little money, it doesn't compromise ride, and it looks really nice. Then do the black roof or wheels or both.
Point is, you could make your sedan a head turner for $4000

How old are you? and why are you being quoted the same for the two cars?? I was quoted $3500 more for the coupe than my sedan....


I was quoted only 50 more a month for a coupe plus I live in toronto where insurance is high compared to where you are.

from where i live, coupe insurance are more expensive. I'm not going to lie, I don't think the coupe look is bad, but the sedan is way more bada**. To a regular civilian, who would ever think you can take a sedan and make it look better than a coupe. Regular people who knows nothing about cars would obviously think the coupe is nicer. If you do have a nice sedan, people would definately turn heads. Unless you are getting that coupe for free, you shouldn't do it, but its your choice, we dont pressure you into doing i.

^ Sure the OP has to make the decision himself, but everyone likes to bounce ideas off someone else. And it's a good idea to do so.

if it was 2003 when people were still drooling of the coupe and you didn't already have the sedan then maybe. here in 2009 the road is already littered with G35 coupes so if you want to turn heads maybe get a 370z, G37 coupe or something. I say blow the money on the sedan if its burning a hole in your pocket or get a totally different car, change is nice sometimes.

but i mean anyone who uses the "word" "juz" should probably get a coupe with 24z s0n dawg

I agree. I see tons of coupes on the road...all driven by younger guys with some sort of aftermarket wheel, 5% tint, LED's everywhere, purple HID's and sometimes a really aweful body kit. Some of these cars look good i will admit, but the fact that it is more of a "boy-racer" car these days has turned me off to the idea of owning a coupe.

I wanted a coupe badly about 5 years ago. Almost bought an Athens Blue '05 6MT with NAV brand new. Back then, it was still a car driven by business-type people over 30 years old.

Now, it has become the next Honda civic. The sedan hasn't gone down that road (yet) fortunately. I still see sedans driven by older (boring) people...and to be honest, i like that.

Sorry if my post offends anyone, but just how i feel about the G35.
