Well, I did it, it's done! I flipped and wrecked my '06 G35X in February here in Boston and bought an '07 which I did not care for as much. I kept looking all over New England for another '06 or '05 and after almost buying a few, I finally made a deal Friday on a 2005 G35X, the exact same model and options and color as the '06 I wrecked. It's the silver platinum color with the non-Bose stereo. I got some money back on my '07 as a refund. Granted, it wasn't a bargain trading down but at some point I had to accept that it was not going to be a win-win for me. The '05 I got is great, has a couple body blemishes but otherwise is in excellent shape with 69,300 miles on it. My '06 had 53K miles so this is also a step back. But I loved my '06 and didn't love the '07. Hard to explain to some and many will disagree and that's ok, but all I can say is the '07 just didn't do it for me. It's not naughty enough looking or sounding. The 05-06 years have sportier suspension and handling. At least that's my impression. And now I can SEE the blinkers and speedometer because the wheel isn't blocking them, and my hands are not sore from driving that chubby '07 steering wheel. Now if I could only get rid of that annoying sunroof creaking that I get every time I go over uneven pavement..... Grrrrrr....My '06 did this too. funny some things never change.... still, no regrets.

 

Bottomline: Do what you think is right for you and don't look back
