I was looking around on craigslist and a local dealer is selling an 2007 G35x for $15,400.

Specs:
-89,000 miles (highway).
-Premium package
-Clean carfax
-clear title

Now, the mileage scares me. Is the price justified along with the mileage? Should I even bother with mileage so high? How much should I expect to spend on maintenance now and how much longer will this car last?

I only average about 8,000 miles/yr BTW...

I still really want to check the car out...am I wasting my time?

 

If the seller has service records that would be good. I mean 89k is really nothing for these cars as long as it been maintained, if you do buy it change all the fluids on the car transmission, both front and rear differential oils and coolant.

 

I assume highway miles?

I have 61k highway miles on my 06...runs like new still. Highway miles are much better than miles spent cruising the beach and local high schools.

 

The ad does say highway miles..

I'll probably go check out the car this Friday...hopefully if it's still around..

 

You're talking about a radiator and transmission flush?

 

Any other maintenance issues or repairs I should expect or...inspect for?

 

Correct.

 

Probably owned by an older couple who traveled (judging by options, year, and miles) and was probably babied. I'd definitely take a look at it. Looks clean and not beat up.

 

So, warranty....no warranty?

It's a kind of a toss-up, right?

 

If you're seriously interested, I would take a look at the big picture and negotiate for a much lower price based on the possibility of replacing the spark plugs, tranny fluid, coolant and other recommended services at the 90K mark.

 

Don't forget, everybody claims highway miles.

These cars are fairly popular with real estate agent types who making a good impression and driving a lot of the job.

 

I've got almost 160K on my odometer now. Just make sure its been maintained and you shouldn't have problems...even if they beat on the car a little. I know I do

 

Shouldn't this be moved to the 2nd gen area? We are giving this guy advice on a car we dont even own LOL

 

Oops! I just noticed that this was in the wrong forum!

Sorry!

Thanks guys, you've been a great help so far. I'll probably go and take a look at it tomorrow.

 

Let us know... that thing looks super clean. if the seller will allow it have it taken to the nearest infiniti dealer for a once over.... it might cost 100 bucks or so but will be worth the peace of mind, it also may give you barganing room based on what they come up with....
