I'm finally an official G35 owner - DG 6mt
 

I finally got the G35 I've been wanting for so long :D :D - a diamond graphite 6mt with stone interior. The only options are splash guards and the all important trunk mat. I'm not sure I got the best deal considering the $1000 incentive but it was still cheaper than I originally planned. As a bonus, I did get tinted windows and 2 yrs free service so overall I'm happy.

The clutch is sure touchy. It's like an on/off switch. I hope it breaks in some because I am having a tough time with it. I'm also a novice shifter so that isn't helping. It's still fun to drive. I had a hard time keeping the revs under 4k and the speed anywhere near the speed limit on the way home from the dealer. :D

I've been lurking around this forum for a while so it's nice to be an actual owner. In the future, I plan on during the basic mods such as coupe midpipe and ztube for a better sound.

I tried attaching a picture but it's not working. Oh well, everyone here knows what a stock DG 6mt looks like and my pic is not all that great. I wanted to get some nice pics but it started downpouring as soon as I got it home. :(

Congrats on your new G. Don't worry you will driving that 6MT like a champ, soon. Enjoy and drive safely.

Nobody gives a shiit................buzzz offf.........you jerk............

Seriously, I am putting the beer down--Welcome and congrats on your car. :)

Cheers, Texan1! :D

friends don't let friends post drunk............ :D

Welcome aboard and congrats on your purchase.

Enjoy...you'll smile every time she growls when you start her up.

HA! You sound like my long lost brother. I got the 6MT graphite/graphite yesterday. Splash guards + trunk mat, but I also got spoiler + sunroof.

And I too found the clutch a bit touchy. It's ok, I'm sure I basically wore it out on the ride back to work after picking it up :)

It really catches high which I'll either have to get used to or get adjusted. Also, yeah, I was having a problem keeping it under 4K. I'm shifting a little more with this 6 speed then I was used to.

Totally kick *** car though. Just like yours is too I'm sure.

Nice - congrats! That's pretty cool in that we were looking for the same car and found them at the same time. What interior did you get?

I was a little nervous when I first drove my G. I had not test drove a 6mt yet and not driven a standard in some time. The dealer had the car inside the showroom so I had to drive it out the door and immediately take a sharp turn. I was afraid I was going to stall it or give it too much gas out of there. I suppose it would of been funny to rev it up and dump the clutch. I actually rolled out really smooth and had an easy drive home until I hit heavy traffic.

I got the graphite interior. Which was my personal choice.

Basically, I got the car as if I was ordering from factory and the dealer actually found it and brought it in. I like the stone too though.

Congrats on the new ride bro, enjoy. :D
C.

Congrats.

If you got that car at North Houston Infiniti, I've sat in it:) It was nice of them to have 2 base 6mts to choose from. I wish I was enjoying mine right now, but I choose to order one.

What kind of deal did you get?

Yeah, how did you know?? It sounds like you are the one my sales lady was talking about when I put my deposit down. She said someone was looking for a different color but switched to DG. I lost some sleep during the week worrying that someone would steal my G before I closed the deal. Looks like I had a reason to worry! lol

I was about to order one myself because I had a hard time finding the exact G I wanted. It's a good feeling to get exactly what you want instead of settling for something else. You will be glad when you get your G. What did you order?

I think I got a good deal but not sure. I ended up paying $29k even. That's a hair under invoice so that sounds good but there was a $1k rebate. Thus, I paid $1k over invoice but that's not what the dealer thinks. They told me all kinds of dealer talk about how their actual costs are higher than invoice and so on. I tried hard to lower the price but they just treated me like I was nuts. I was expecting to pay no more than $500 over invoice (with incentives) but I guess that's crazy talk at an Infiniti dealer. In the end, I got the exact car I wanted at a lower price than I originally planned, with tint plus 2 yr oil changes and service so that's not bad.
