They should give you at least a 3 months/90 days warranty on the car. I don't think I would buy any car without some type of warranty!

 

You could call up a dealer and find the in service date and see if the drivetrain warranty is still active. 70k miles and 6 years I believe is the time for that.


I believe younsaid it had 69,500 miles? Don't drive over 70,000 miles until you confirm the drivetrain warranty is still active. Don't let the used car dealer drove it around either. If they can't do anything for you....take it to infiniti

 

I'm going to try that next. I just took the car back to the place I bought it, showed the owner the problem and he said they'd look at it tomorrow and call me about it. When I bought it they said I could give them $500 for a 2-day return option, but I didn't take it because it seemed expensive and was nonrefundable. Now I look up online and it says in California the law is max $250 for the 2-day option, and if you exercise it they can charge $500 restocking fee. The paperwork they gave me has the price blank. For some reason California doesn't seem to have these guarantees, although we have a lot of laws covering all sorts of products and contracts. This was the first time I bought a car - I guess next time I'll know better we'll see what they say tomorrow. He didn't mention charging to look at it or anything.

 

According to the car fax the first title issued date was May 2003. It actually has 69,400. On Monday I'm going to try calling them despite the 6 years having passed.

 

2003? I thought this was an '05

Call the dealer, give them the vin and ask for the "in service date"

That's they date when the car was sold....and warranty starts from that day


Edit: for some reason I could of sworn I read it was an 2005...but now I can't find anything

 

always have everything in writing and always always have some type of guarentteee!!

espically when your making a big purchase as this

and espically your dealing with smallel dealers, trying to sell you a car in a rush

with most or sometimes a problem

(but not all the time)

well i guess now you learn lol

 

Even though it has the problem I still love it and didn't want to take it back
I guess I'll be driving the 240Z again for now. Hopefully next time I have to buy a new car won't be anytime soon.

 

Welcome to the Cool side of Driver... The Coupe Owner Section.... Sedans are for old folk.

Hope everything works out for you on the transmission issue...

 

Well what happened is the dealer called and said they talked to infiniti and they also checked it out snd would replace the clutch or refund me the car. From what i read here everyone says the dealers say this eve though it is the transmission. I asked for a refund...bummed but at least im not stuck w pith it

 

^^ Good for you, E, tough as it is to give back the G, they're makin' new ones every day! That is a positive result.

And now's your big chance to buy a sedan, LOL!! j/k, buy what makes you happy.

 

Merry Christmas Daniel:

 

Sorry to hear.

Hope your next purchase goes more smoothly.

 

I went to the dealership and they say the clutch is thin on one side causing it to grind in 5th. I forgot the paperwork because I hadn't expected they'd refund me for the car. Now I'm having second thoughts...do you think I should ask if they will go ahead and replace the clutch and keep it if it doesn't have a problem anymore? Or do you think grinding in 5th can only be the transmission problem people talk about?

 

The other thing is the car has been repainted. It's still technically my car. I also paid $11,950.

 

is it a clean car? or salvage/ reconstructed?
