Hi all. Been a long time since I've been here. I'm the original owner of a much loved 2003.5 G35 6MT sedan. I used to own and operate g-owners.com back in 2003-2005ish. Freshalloy was an early hangout. Still have my stock, unmolested G35 that has been the best, most reliable car I have ever owned. Only change from stock was the install of a VLSD from a 2004 coupe. I have purchased a new car to replace the G35 and as much as I hate to see it go, it's time to move on. I just don't use the G35 much anymore and it's only been picking up a couple thousand miles a year. It has lost it's garage space and sits outside under a cover.


My question is if "what is my car worth" threads are allowed on g35driver.com? This is a relatively rare vehicle with the 6MT and online pricing guides do not do rare vehicles well. I have taken a bunch of pictures, have full history of the car, but just don't know how to price it for my local market.


Mods, if this forum is the wrong place for this post, please move.

 

They've been posted before. Nobody's said not to.


On some of the boards I frequent though, they aren't allowed. Reason being backdoor "for sale" ads in the forums/.

 

Posted this thread earlier to ask if this was OK. No negative feedback or messages from mods that it wasn't allowed, so here goes.

Highlights

• 2003 6MT Sedan, 116,000 miles, 1 careful, meticulous adult owner. Rare manual transmission in the 4 door. I doubt you can find a better cared for example.
• 6MT sport package and winter package with heated seats
• Car is in Denver Colorado
• Synth oil and quality filters only, all scheduled maintenance performed by me. records for most items. In recent years I have only been driving it a few thousand miles a year, so changed oil and filter once a year along with coolant, brake fluid, etc. When I used to drive it more, oil was changed every 5000-7500. oil analysis was done for several years, never indicating any issues. Reports available.
• Trans fluid change every 30k miles with Nissan fluid
• Always premium fuel, 23mpg lifetime average, 28 on long highway trips.
• Car has had very few issues in 12 years. Bose system started to affect climate control, so it was replaced with a new sony system last year, bluetooth, steering wheel controls work etc. fuel pressure damper a year or so back. a door lock actuator. Not much else. No internal engine or trans work ever. Just wear items like belts, filters, etc. This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. It has never failed me, ever. In 12 years, I got the check engine light once for a loose gas cap.
• Car was garaged 80% of it's life. It's been kept outside intermittently for about 3 years, sometimes under a custom fit cover, sometimes not. No visible sun damage, cloudy headlights or other damage from exposure. Headlights have clear protectors installed since new.
• No body or paint work ever, clear bra installed on day of purchase, so paint is in great shape. minor chips covered with factory touch up paint to prevent any rust.
• Always completely stock, with 1 exception. In 2005 I put in a factory VLSD from a 2004 coupe. Swapped the entire pumpkin, same gear ratio.
• Original clutch, no issues
• Always kept clean inside and outside, OEM all weather mats since day one. Always washed and waxed
• Passes emissions each year very easily, barely registers any pollutants and far below maximums allowed, reports available
• Never more than light throttle until fully up to temp
• Car has no issues at all, runs and drives like a new car, everything works as expected.
• shocks were replaced at 80-90k miles, forget exactly but have record
• no fluid leaks
• always ran 2 sets of factory wheels, 1 set with AS tires and another set with winter tires. Car will be sold with AS tires on factory wheels, with approximately 5,000 miles on them.
• I reported an accident to the police when I tapped the rear bumper of a civic in 2006? at about 2mph. I reported it because the girl claimed her neck hurt, so I called her an ambulance. There were no damage claims for either vehicle. I can spot a very small mark on the front bumper on my car. Very hard to see.
• Took it to the drag strip one day around 2004. It ran the quarter in 14 flat at 100mph
• Took it to one autox day in its entire life, it won its class. I have another car for autox.
• Bought a Chevy SS sedan as it's replacement, so wife wants me to sell the infiniti as I have 3 cars now.
• pictures were taken on April 12 of this year.
