I am new to this forum and have come to ask some advise. Im currently looking at a nice 03 g35 sedan with 130,000km. I was wondering if anybody could give my pointers of what to look for while inspecting/road testing the car. I am coming from a 95 bmw 540i so im not new to 4 doors and rwd. What kind of reliability am i looking at and what kind of maintenance should i do on the car (thing that are specific to this car). My dad has a 07 G35x and its a great car, partly why im looking into the g series, any help is appreciated

 

I mean maintanence is key in the reliability.... I see sedans go a long time on here if they are taken care of.. But that's pretty high mileage to start with

 

well its in km not milles and for me 130,000km is not "that" much, thats why im looking around

 

Ask for maintenance records

 

Your right. Only bout 80k miles. I don't speak Canadian but checked the math. Like we both said.. Maintenance

 

trust me, i dont touch a car that does not have a basic maintenance record. I just sold my 540i and the little leather record book was overflowing with receipts from maintenance, something every car should have

 

Look out for oil consumption, leaking valve covers, compression rod bushings and that's all I can really think of right now.

 

^ radio failing, lots and lots of rattles.

 

radio i read about and know of kits to replace it, was gonna do that anyways. I have had saturns, those cars are made of rattles.

 

take it to the dealership and tell them to do a 110 point inspection.

dealerships love to find something wrong with a car.
its one of the few times id recommend taking your car to an infiniti dealership.

 

At 130kms you'll be alright, there isn't a tonne of issues that can be had with these cars that are catastrophic.

 

well im also looking at one (premium sedan) with 107,000km and from what i have research there does not seem to be huge failures, leaky valve covers are nothing, same on my old bimmer, brake that get worn faster, meh can change that myself and the radio issue. Rest seems common to all cars
