My brother has an 05 G35 Sedan with 67k miles on it. He details it once a month, otherwise he keeps it washed and spotless. The inside hasn't seen dust period. Has a clear bra on the front, the mirrors, etc. It was backed into a few months ago in a parking lot and dented on the left rear. He got it fixed and the body shop ended up touching up the whole car(little knicks or whatever). Anyway maintenance wise, he has every service record for it and has had every service done to it since he bought it brand new. Brakes are less than a year old, tires are less than 2 months old. He had the FULL 60k mile service done and said he will be getting the tranny flushed on it. He wants to sell it to me for $12,500. It has whichever package comes with it that gives me the smart key and Bose(not sure if it's standard or not). He said he has had the wheel bearings done on it under warranty, and I believe the drivers seat track issue as well. Otherwise the little things he's had done to it seem minor. He said when he gets back home in a few days he'll give me the complete list of everything. I know he never drives the car hard, completely stock as well...

I know this is a G35 forum and that people buy them with higher miles than this, but I'd be coming from an 06 Corolla that is basically the CHEAPEST maintenance you can find. Not to mention I get 360 miles per tank and it cost me $30 to fill it up. I've searched and couldn't really find anything, but what kind of major expensive problems are common with the G35? I plan on changing out the Bose headunit with a pioneer double din, so I don't have to worry about the Bose one crapping out.

 

I have a pioneer double din that needs to be sold ill make you a killer deal. Buy the sedan youll love it man.

 

lol I would buy it, but I already got one in the Corolla.

 

this has been covered many times, probably 5-6 times this month

do a quick search for common problems

 

I've seen the common problems of the 03-04. But what about the price?

 

Sounds like a good deal to me.

 

Jump on it like a fat kid on a cupcake

 

^ foreal dude thats a phenomenal deal

 

The only thing holdin me up is that I gotta sell my 06 Corolla XRS. I'm not sure the best way to sell it.

 

If it was earlier than an 05, i would say no, but since its an 05 go for it.

 

Do it, you won't regret it.

 

i would buy it, for one you know it was well taken care of, he even has new tires and brakes which u dont have to worry about for some time!
our cars our known to be solid. but gas.. well lets say you will get the same miles to the tank as the corolla! but for 60 bucks instead of 30 hehe
also.... insurance will be more.. obvious...

 

Helluva good deal.

Do eet!

You will not be disappointed.

 

It will probably not be as reliable as your Corolla. However, that seems like a good deal.

 

Have to agree with everyone here. 12,500 is a great deal. And you can drive the G around if you like or have to corolla as your daily driver. The G can be for weekend driving or something along that road.
