So, what a way to end 2010. Bunch of BS.

I'm pretty sure his family is a bit more wealthy than most judging from what he drives and the cars his family owns. He does work, apparently, so it's not like things are just handed to him. Some kids are just luckier than others. I bought a $16K used 94 Z28 back in 1996 when I was 21 and still in college. $16K in today's dollars is around $21K or roughly the same price as a used 07 G sedan. I worked 24hrs/wk in college and 40+ in the summer. The Z was affordable thanks to my old man letting me list him as the primary driver. Assuming Janik gets $12K+ for his car and parts, I think it's quite possible for him to afford the 07, assuming his 05 is paid off.

If you do sell, I wish you the best. It's sad that a lot of people still see 100k as some kind of marker that the car is on it's last leg hopefully that won't artificially devalue it too much.
I know I wouldn't hesitate to buy a car off you, knowing your finesse for maintenance.

100k is just getting broken in good!

I know 100k is nothing for any car these days. It's more of a personal marker that I usually get rid of cars at. Never owner a car with more than 100k.
Haven't decided. I'm kinda getting past the "need a new car every few years to stay trendy" phase and haven't really decided what I would get. My g35 fits a very tight criteria of things I was looking for in a car, and not that many others are compatible that are in my price range.
To be honest, strong chance I am going to "ride it til it dies" which I would hope is another 5 years or maybe 200k miles which means 5 more years of newbies wondering "why is this mustang guy posting on a g35 board"??
