Debating whether or not to buy this Infiniti G35x

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum, so don't bash on me

I am debating whether or not to buy this 2005 Infiniti G35x. It has 150,600 miles on it and it looks very well maintained. I haven't gotten a chance to take a look at in person, yet. But I was wondering if the miles are a little too high?

The ad says he wants $9,900, but I found another ad on craigslist and he has it listed for $8,500.

http://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/2005_Infiniti_G35_145935755

Thanks in advance,

TheRock0720

Thanks, that's exactly what I felt. Going to keep looking until I find something that is one heck of a deal I cannot pass up.

Car looks fairly clean for 150k in the pics... Probably like a 7500-8k car though. Maybe 8500 if it runs like a gem.

It looks like a nice car! If that is what you want then I say go for it.

I agree with Wannabe about the price though, it's probably more of a high 7's car.

I love that color. It is rare and looks so nice when polished up.

Well I am going to plan on looking at the other car I posted above and I also really want to check out this one: http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/2787699989.html

If everything checks out looking at it and test driving it, I'll dissect the car on my lift and see how that goes. If I can get it for the right price, I might make the move to get it.

It has ~152,000 miles, what things should I be wary about? What things are expected to go wrong or need replacing? Maintenance things I might want to do as soon as I get it (if that was to happen)?

Just do all the fluids and make sure everything is still tight.

All figure out whats wrong with the NAV.

Something about a guy selling a car after 1 month of owning it and using the 'I lost my job' excuse just doesn't sit well with me.

I wouldn't buy it even though the price is very good.

I was just rereading over the post and I was just thinking about that.. The guy hasn't responded yet, I might still check it out tho.. I am still looking daily on websites, craigslist, forums, etc for G35x's for sale.

miles are VERY high..You can probably find similarly priced with a lot less miles.
