best of luck!

 

When buying a car from a dealer who might be guilty of selling salvage and unibody title cars, ask them to measure the paint thicknes right in front of you if they are claiming the car has never been in an accident. If they have nothing to hide, they should be able to do this without a problem. If they say they dont own a paint gauge, they are lying since every dealer in the world has one. If they measure the paint, and you see a discrepancy, the price can be negotiated downwards since the panel was obviously painted and most likely replaced. A clear carfax does not necessarily mean the car has never been in an accident, it jsut means the person never reported it. I go to a lot of wholesale auctions and dealers carry a paint gauge in each hand. If the gauge shows the same thickness all around, its probably original paint. If you see 6mm on the left quarter panel, 6mm on both left side doors, and then 14mm on the hood and all along the right side, you know the car was T-boned by a freight train, rebuilt, and repainted. Im not too sure how thick infiniti paint is, most factory paint is between 4-7mm, but youll know once you measure a few panels. Keep in mind, if each panel is reading a different number, run away and never look back, cuz you are dealing with the Mr. Potato head of G35's.

 

I think you might have overpaid. I bought the same 08 G35 Journey in January of '09 with 21K miles on it at the time for $24,900 all in. Granted, that was the best time to buy cars, and it was in the Dallas area. For some reason, Dallas always seems to have excess supply of these cars...
