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.

100k is just getting broken in good!

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.

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"??

Scratch what I said.

Been driving around in this blizzard in the northeast.....I love my car!

Seriously you rwd guys don't know what you are missing. I was out driving just to drive. Didnt even need to use "snow" mode most of the time

Point and shoot through 12-16" of snow on the roads

I actually forgot too.

It's a switch I flip maybe 10 times a year total.

Exactly the plan, Dave. Hope to get 12-14k for my car, and find an 07 for 22ish. Looking to borrow no more than 5k which I am planning on paying off over next summer. Have a bit saved up, and a bit more to sell. Now just the time to find the right car.

Psh, AWD G sedan... when we get 12-16" of snow, I borrow this.

Ground clearance ftw.

Don't feel too bad Janik. So far this month I've had a blow out, a hit n run (lil tap) and on the 23rd I found out my bank account was hacked and used in two states. So since then, my account has been frozen due to fraudulent charges till further notice. Top that lol!

^Yea, can't top that! Sounds like a ****ty month.

My mom took my car in yesterday since I was out snowmobiling in Wyoming. They gave her an EX35 loaner that she liked.

Car is fixed, and the dealer was very friendly and happy that Infiniti chose to fix it. Love my dealer!
