I didn't read anything else... but you can literally beat the **** out of these cars and they are fine. Once you take ownership.. just baby the fvck out of it.. mine was beaten when I bought it.. and after my TLC and minor additions of good fluids/lubricants.. she runs better than ever. (bought with 104k and now has 154k) with no major issues.

This car is twice the car of your other two choices

Just for your information, mine is an 04 manual with 81K miles. In the 4 years and 50K miles I've owned this car, I've spent $500 for 60K maintenance. Spent $1000 for 2 complete brake jobs (all pads and rotors)--the first was right when I bought the car, as previous owner did not do the brake job. Spent $600 for new tires right when I bought the car also due to the wear on the existing tires. $100 to replace belts. That's about it, unless you count $500 for winter wheels/tires and another $900 to upgrade to G37 18's/tires this year.

The guy called me and told me that he will have to go somewhere on Saturday and wanted me to come by today.

So this time I took a close look at the car and took it for spin.

Overall, the engine was good, transmission was smooth and the ride was really "tight". I liked how it responded and I could feel that it had lots of power.

However, when I made a sharp left turn it made some clicking noise or something like a spring pop!
Also all four tires were totally worn, oil change light was on but the guy says it's been a while since the light came on (red flag!).

A few Infiniti emblems were missing, front and back bumper were beaten (not too bad but kinda ugly).
Also the car made rattling noise from inside, especially from dash board and arm rest.

I didnt really mind about the aforementioned issues(except rattling noise) and was thinking to take it after the Infiniti dealer inspection that WE scheduled for this coming Thursday.

However, the guy said he couldnt take it to Infiniti dealership as he has some other stuff going on and kept telling me that he wanna take it to other shops sucjh as AAA or firestone. (what da hell! we scheduled the appointment together and he checked his schedule to avoid any conflict!!)

I just dont like the fact that he does not seem to take care of the car and I decided to let it go and told him that I am no longer interested.

I know I am somewhat "too picky" but I would rather spend a few thousand dollars more and get a car that has been loved and adored!! hehe

Anyways, if you are interested in this car and willing to take it for 10k let me know!
