Looking at 04 G sedans, are there any items I should specifically watch out for?
New to the G cars and am interested in buying a used sedan. Looking at cars around the 110k mile mark. A local guy has a nice car that is very clean that I am going to drive tonight. Are there any problems I should look for in particular?
Thanks!
Thanks!

As for practical things to look for when shopping, as was mentioned, make sure the CD changer works... I mean actually load/unload it and play a disk.
Be prepared for the eventuality that it will give problems, it happens a LOT, but it's kinda a good excuse for a nice double-din
Make sure all 4 windows and door locks work, that can sometimes be an issue.
Mike sure the high-mount (3rd) brake light works.
If you're getting an 04, this shouldn't be an issue... but you'll probably want to try and avoid the early 03's.
Pop the hood and check if it has dual electric fans, or a clutch fan. If it has a clutch fan, it's most likely one of the older 03s.
If you can get your hands on a later model 04 (aka 04.5) they have a better shift logic in the automatic transmission, as well as a few other minor things that are nicer.
Like Marcus said, the Nismo/Areo pkg is highly desirable (and good looking)
Another thing you may want to check is to see if it has the premium pack.
One of the easiest ways to check that, is to walk up to the car with the remote, and hold down then unlock button. If all 4 windows roll down, it has the premium package. If only the front two do, it doesn't.
To check for the sport package, look for red shocks/struts
That's about all I can think of at the moment.
I hope you find a car you'll be happy with
