So about a year ago when i was home on midtour from Korea i went and visited my sister. Well she had an 08 G35X and i fell in love with it. Well the other day she asked if i wanted to buy it from her......i said YES instantly. Definitely caught her off guard. 58000 miles and she's asking 21000 for it. I know it has been taken care of immaculately. She keeps a blanket on the backseat and my parents come and pick her up in town when she comes and visits b/c they live on a gravel road and she won't drive it on there haha. Looking at other comparably equipped X's it seems they are all over the place on price but seem to hover around 23-25 for them. She is either going BMW or Jaguar.....doesn't matter to me, i just want her G haha. What do you all think? I somewhat know the history on it and i know it has been taken very good care of.

congrats and the price is nice but not unbelievable from what i see nowadays 21k is about right, but it depends on the pkgs the car has which adds to the price. Does it have prem, tech and/or nav? If so then the price seems really good.

Overall since you know the car has been well taken care off there is nothing better than that feeling when buying a used car.

I know it doesn't have the nav but i'm pretty sure it has everything else. I want a sedan over a coupe. I have kids with the ex and i need something a little better than my F250 7.3 diesel ext cab on 38's when it comes to driving from SC to FL to get them haha. No way i'm selling my truck though.....the G is kind of like a "congrats, you got divorced" present haha.

For a point of reference, I just bought an 08 g35x with nav, premium pkge, tech pkge, with wood trim and 36k miles for $26,500. Was a one owner car and was super clean. So, a little higher miles without nav but 5,500 lower is about right IMO. Enjoy the G. Best purchase I've ever made.

Yaaaa, diesel gets $$$$$$ but i have had my truck longer than any woman i have ever had and it's never given me any issues. I get about 15 MPG, i don't care if i only average 20 MPG with a G......YA ONLY LIVE ONCE.......that's how i live.

That is a great price and you know it was taken care of! Can't go wrong with this purchase! If you were to buy any other G you wouldn't know half of things it's been through or any :P

So scoop up this quick, good price and you know where its been!

Seems like a great price. I'm selling mine and it's an 07 with less miles, and I'm asking $2k more.
