In most cases, I would agree with you guys that 135k is a lot of miles. However...my budget was only $8000 and I was dead-set on getting a G35 sedan. That being said, that is all I paid and I bought it from the ORIGINAL owner. All maintenance was done, everything except the 120k service at the stealership. Fluids have always been changed regularly, and he put brand new Pirelli tires on it too. To me...if someone if willing to spend the money on Pirellis for stock wheels instead of cheaping out with Kumho (not a bad tire IMO but not highest quality either) tires then it leads me to believe he's taken good care of the car in general.

Plus....on these cars, 135k miles is nothing as long as they are maintained properly. I have no doubts about the car lasting to 200k or more.

Every other sedan I looked at (2003-2005) had no less than 115k miles and of all 7 that I looked at, this one was far and away the best option

....ok, rant is over and I feel better now.

I dont doubt that, I've run them plenty of times before on other vehicles. Like I said, not a bad tire but not top-of-the-line either.
I did have one bad experience with Kumho tires that couldn't be balanced. Discount Tire replaced them for free because they were **** though and all was good.
