Oh nice, What happened to your car?!

 

Well, most of you may remeber me taking out a coyote on the highway a little over a year ago.
The dealer replaced the front skin and I haven't been happy with the color match ever since. I finally convinced the general manager to redo the job. They called today and said it looks much better and they're just redoing the 3M now, so hopefully, I'm good to go after this.

That color difference drove me nuts, and I'm color blind.
I can imagine how bad it looked to those with good eyes. LOL

My mismatched bumper:

 

Oh right yeah I remember now, I bet you're so excited!

 

Now I want springs.... never ends.

 

Lol It will soon, once you get everything hahaha.

 

I'm liking the G so far. The one I'm testing is a 2007 Platinum Graphite with the Premium Package and navigation. It has 23K miles on it. The internet price is around $26,500, so not sure how much they have to work with. I also have the option of a 2007 Sport Plat. Graph. with 29K miles and no navi for about the same price. I'm leaning towards the Premium b/c I like the navigation and plan on replacing the wheels anyway, so the 18 inch wheels on the Sport aren't really a factor. One thing throwing me off is that the Premium doesn't have a 6 disc changer. Seems like with the Bose system the 6 disc changer would be a given. Not that big of a deal I guess since the navi has the hard drive for music.

At first I thought the body style was boring and not sporty enough, but the more I look at it, it's changing my mind. And the driving comparison between this and the Type S isn't even close...the G wins hands down. Way more power and just feels like a much better build.

 

Glad you like it... good luck with your decision.

FWIW... I have owned MANY cars over the years
Infiniti G35 is the only one that I bought a second time.

 

Don't let the 6-disc changer be a deal breaker.
I have the changer in the trunk and I never use it... total waste of space. It would be nice to have a 6-disc in the dash, but I never carry CDs with me anymore anyway. The only time my dash sees a CD is when a friend has something new... I pop it in and record it to the music box.

I'm either listening to XM, the music box, or my iPhone

 

If I had that thing, removing it would have been my first mod.
Then change the trim piece.

 

I have 6 disc and never used it. I use the ipod conection all the time. Few times the XM that's it.

 

Well guys I'm sorry to report that the dealer has gone back on everything they told me with the deal. Recall I have a Type S with some issues and they were going to basically swap it out for the G. I kept asking about numbers and they assured me that all I had to do was pick out a car and they would make the numbers work. I got a call a few hours ago and their best offer is to sell me the G for $26,790 (which is nonsense b/c that's the price listed online) and to give me $25,000 for the Type S. I paid $27,500 for it a month and a half ago. It got pretty heated between me and the salesman and then the manager with me of course questioning how in their right minds it should cost me $2500 to drive a car for a month and a half. Then asking why they even wasted my time by saying they would do everything to make me happy, then in the end it's all about them making money on another transaction. I'm not sure if I have any other options, but for now I guess I'm stuck with the rattle trap Acura. Of course as soon as I start it up on the way out a new rattle has surfaced near the center speaker. Safe to say neither I nor anyone I know will ever shop at that dealership again.

Thanks again for all of the input.

 

Sorry Rod...

By the way... that center speaker rattle is one of the most popular.
Don't even ask them to fix it, it's working as designed.

Good luck.
