I guess I should start with a bit of history...I started with an interest in the G35 but it was the coupe because, I mean, who doesnt think that coupe is sexy. So I started browsing and browsing until I found one, but after many talks with my friends, family, and girlfriends (its plural on purpose im not bragging just literally being honest), I was finally convinced that I could use some more leg room, space etc.. and also could use some more power and technology as well . So I started looking at the 2nd Gen G35's and at the BMW 5 Series but after being on this site for a while I was amazed at the potential G35's (and Infiniti's overall) have and how well they compete with BMW's, Audi's, Lexus, and MBenz. And after much research I decided to stick to Infiniti and I dont think I'll come to regret it.

Since I am a college senior looking to buy my first car by my own means I cant afford something thats too expensive because I dont make a boatload of money (yet) to be able to afford an expensive vehicle. So I automatically decided to just get one with higher miles so the price can be more in my range.

I decided on what I wanted to be included in the G and they are:
Ivory Pearl (IP)
5AT
'08
Has to be an X (NYC gets hit with some pretty bad snow)
W/ Navi and Premium Pkgs

and after extensive overnight searches I finally found what I believe to be the perfect one.

Its a !!!SPOTLESS!!! 08 IP G35x with 88xxx miles that I found on cars.com for $16.9K.

I went to check it out and it was perfect...leather was clean, car smelled and looked new inside and out, and everything seemed to be in perfect working order.

I'm going sometime this week to see if I can go pick it up under my name and with a cosigner. If it all works out I could be in the car by friday! and I couldnt be any more excited.

Anyways, I just wanted to put this up here so I can get some advice/feedback from you guys about this potential purchase. Any problems I should look out for, tips for purchasing a vehicle, warranty info etc..

Other than that I just wanted to say thanks to everybody for the abundant amount of knowledge I have learned just by being a part of this community of G Owners and for the future knowledge I will come to learn. I guess I showed my appreciation by becoming a premier member lol. Finally here are some pics and sorry for the long post. (I guess this serves as my "Formal Introduction" even though I've been here for a while now) THANKS!

 

Car looks really clean! No tech package, but still pretty loaded!

 

i thought the navi and the backup camera constituted the tech package? This particular car has both.

 

there is no cut out on the botton of the front bumper for the sensor so no tech

 

just out of curiosity what technology would that be?

 

In 08, the backup camera came with the Nav package.

The front bumper sensor Samsizzle is talking about is for the ICC (intelligent cruise control).

 

Good looking G! Very clean as well. But i don't see a Tech that you say the G had. But it's ok. Still an awesome G!

 

thats alright, I thought tech package meant navi and backup camera, my bad, thats what I love about this forum you learn something everyday. Plus i dont think ill be needing cruise control on this baby anyway if you know what i mean lol

 

Nevermind, didn't read close enough...

 

88k

 

go for it!

 

looks like a good looking car

 

price is very good!

 

well... obviously no one here in this section of the forum thinks coupes are sexy jk jk

Niice find you wont be disappointed!

 

high miles but a great price for this car, go for it!
