You should come down to Austin and buy my 04x. I have the same color and options. Original owner and she just turned 61k. I am half serious, PM if interested. I love the car but it's time for a change.

If not, good luck with your purchase. That car looks clean from the pics.

Sorry but i wouldn't have time and i am not sure how it would work with selling my car..buying yours ect. Much easier to trade this one in IMO

Don't feel like a road trip..i only buy local haha

No worries, didn't know you were doing a trade. My car needs a little work anyway but someone is going to get a nice, clean G when I decide to let her go.

Make sure the CD changer and both power seats work when you check that G out

It's a solid car. I bought mine with 93.5K miles on it and the only real issue is the compression rod bushings (which is ridiculously common, and not a very big issue). It's never burned oil, shifts smooth, runs smooth. The X is an animal in the snow, I'm even throwing some snow tires on it this winter for S&G's. The only other common issue to look out for is the radio head unit going out. For a 7 year old car that has a few rounds on it, it still runs like a champ. I'm very impressed with the quality of my car.

If it's clean and you're looking for AWD, go for it

UPDATE: Brought it home to look at. Has vibration on highway..like grinding...Looked at inside or rotors..big holes/gouges in them..very rough so it needs new rotors and pads.

Trans fluid was brown and didn't smell too good. Car had trans flish at 80K and it's at 93K now and is already brown. No pink/red at all. Deff not a good sign in my book


So still looking for now....ugh i want a car that doesn't have issues!

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth. If you're near an Infiniti dealership you can bring it to them and have them check it top to bottom for $50. That's how I did mine and I knew everything that was wrong with it before I bought it. Just an option.

no GOOD dealers around me unless i drive an hour to one...the one near me is a complete joke unfortunately

They also offered me 1,000 more on my trade in if i get the 06...but that had a vibration as well. I am not going to go and chase another vib problem (like i am right now with my 07..main reason for selling it..that and i want lower payments)
