2008 G35 Sport with Automatic Transmission???

I'm located in Puerto Rico and a year ago I bought a 2008 G35S with automatic transmission. Trying to find some info on re-sale price, but KBB and everywhere I have researched only give me the manual transmission option not automatic.... Is this was some option in that year? May for Puerto Rico only?

The 07-08 G35 Sport models have always been equipped either with a 6MT or 5AT (auto). Usually its just a specified trim level.

Hope that helps!

This is because in '07 there were actually two Sport models (6MT and 5AT) as well as a Journey and base model with the 5AT, but in '08 they changed it to where the only Sport model (by name) was the 6MT, but you could add the Sport option to the Journey and X models. When I look at KBB for an '08, the only choice was to select the Journey model and add the Sport options to it. The trouble is, I didn't see where everything in the Sport option was covered by the individual option choices (ie. seats, body styling, LSD, brakes, paddle shift, etc.), so that's weird. Maybe try looking at the '07 (it shows up there) for a close reference value, or else look on Edmunds or NADA websites for their evaluations.

Actually, in '07 you COULD get a Sport model with a 5AT that was not a Journey. In '08, you COULD NOT get a Sport with 5AT that was not a Journey.

Kinda lame, but that's how they did it.

Nope, they got all the same goodies as the 6MT, just with a 5AT (and paddle shifters). It was the X model that got the "Sport light" treatment when the option was chosen.

Maybe we should all submit feedback to KBB. It is kind of important for resale value when so many people use it. It could mean an extra 1k at the end of the day. Anyone submit feedback to them before?

No idea in PR. In New England, car prices are about 20% higher than most other states. I can imaging the market is much different down there. Looks nice though!
