2003 G35, 22K miles, black with willow interior, titanium trim, Premium Package, moonroof, HID, Aero Package, and Sport Package. I paid $25,500. NADA retail value is $27,900 and the window sticker in the glove box says the MSRP was $34,920. It has more stuff than I needed, but what the hell. Of course the weather is crappy right now so I really can't push it, but she's a runner and basically flawless.

First thing to do, tint the damn windows!!!!

 

Excellent!!! Good for you mate, enjoy this car, it is flawless.

 

Bought the same EXACT car from an individual (same exterior/interior color,sport, aero, prem. etc) with same exact mileage on 11-04, and paid $100 less than you. Nonsmoker, no accidents. You got a Good price and have Great Taste--Now tint those darned windows and give it a good wax and lea. conditioner.

I had the car 2 days, and then tinted it--I went with legal in the front 2 doors and limo in the back--she sharp. Glad the 1st owner was an NTL--"No Tint Loser"--(That is a trademark going back to 1989--NTL) Otherwise, I would have had to pay to remove the weak azz tint that most people put on and re-tint.

I will go with the aero front bumper in a year or so, and then follow up with the rear/side sills. What are your thoughts on that? What state do you live in?, in case I need to use your car for parts--ha, ha.

FYI--the fuel door release--hit the unlock on the key fob and press the right side of your fuel door--wala..sp?

Are you going to get an extended warranty later? I'm leaning towards it

 

Enjoy the car and welcome!

 

I must have gotten the deal of the century. I traded in my '03 5AT Sedan for an '04 6MT in October. The final price with 15K miles was $27.500.00. I was laughing as I left the ACURA dealer that sold it to me for that price. Blue Book at that time was $31.5K. They wanted it off the lot (for good reason), but the GM of the dealership was driving it around to meetings when I came out to look at it. He he.

 

Welcome aboard Dave. There is a ton of info on these forums. Enjoy learning more about your G.

 

As I've said before...I wish you guys lived at/in the Jersey Shore area. I must have about eight well under $24,500. Oh well, the point is ya got em' ...and that's a good thing. Good luck with your cars and I hope you enjoy them like I do mine. JBX

 

There were 2 03 6 speeds for sale in the area with $25,600 asking prices, but I really didn't want a manual again plus I wasn't willing to risk getting a lemon tranny or possibly having to do a clutch job because some guy didn't know how to drive. Nissan manuals aren't the easiest or smoothest things to operate.

I think I got a decent deal. I could have done better elsewhere, but it was the color scheme and option package I wanted so I had to cough up the dough. Thier initial offer was $28,500 After 5 minutes of haggling and me showing them what offer Gs were selling for in the area, we agreed on $25.5. They got me in at 4.34% on my loan which beat my bank's loan offer by 2.5 points. I went ahead and got an extended bumper to bumper warranty till 2010 or 100k miles and I'm still paying $20 less than I would have if I would have stayed with my bank AND no extended warranty. I'm usually against getting extended warranties on imports, but this car has so much technology, it makes me a little nervous so I went ahead and got it. They got some extra business out of me and I got the car at the price I wanted.

 

Is it an 03 with the older-style trunk?

 

Not sure about Dave's--Mine is 2003.5--non-doggie door trunk. I still payed $3600 less than the same exact car selling at Carmax and the owner/seller got $3000 more than what they offered to buy his car--Now that is meeting in the middle. Here are some pics..

 

That's my car. I just need to get the windows tinted.

I must say for being stock, the intake and exhaust really does have sporty note to it.

 

Congrats on the new ride. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

 

Beautiful car Texan1. I love the sport package wheels on the darker colored cars.

Around here, Hertz sells low-mileage 04 G35 Sedans (5AT, Leather, Sunroof, XM) for 25,000:

Believe it or not, they do an excellent job of reconditioning these....they look brand new. Also, since it's Hertz, they'll take care of you if you end up with a lemon or run into issues.

 

Welcome to the G world, and sounds like you got a good deal.

Glad to see another fellow (ex?) .org'er around

 

If your trunk looks like that then I think you may have a 2003.5 model.
