36K original miles, garage kept, new tires and front brakes...

Asking 16900 firm...

Currently have a 2005 TL with 156K miles, and its a SOLID car, no problems...

G35 would be a Daily Driver.

Anything I should look out for/be concerned with? Any major reliablitty issues with engine/trans/rear limited slip dif?

Is that a good price? Below NADA clean retail....and car is such a low mileage car...

Any/all thoughts are apprecaited.

MOTIVATION by the way is to sell acura while its still worth a few $$$, and get into a new daily drivers thats reliable AND nice....

Thanks in advance....first time posting!

Sounds like a solid deal, that's about 1/2 the miles I have on my 09.
Our previous 07 that I sold to a friend has over 100k miles now w/ no issues other than the sunroof seal (covered by a TSB) and peeling /scratched steering cover & armrest trim.

 

Sounds like a good deal.

 

the 2007 sedan would be a g35, so is it a 2009 g37 or a 2007 g35? i'm guessing 2009 because of the low miles?
my 2008 has been solid, just tires/brakes - oh, and front bearings on one side. wait, a upper radiator hose was replaced too. that's it, 79K miles.
you could test the oil pressure, search the forums here...

 

nope, its a 2007 G35 with 36K miles.

 

Bought my base 2007 G35 with 42k for $12.5 last Fall. Mine was an ebay auction though so I was extremely lucky.

Any maintenance records?

 

I'd have paid that for a car with so few miles. I recently bought my 1-owner, full dealer service history '07 S for $12,500 with 104k miles... I'd have jumped on something with 36k for not much more money. I've only put 2,000 miles on mine, but it's been a great car. There are some common issues that you can read about on here, but in general, it's a very solid car.

The listing on mine was $12,900 "firm", but a $100 PPI from the dealer with a $600 105k service (which is around $100 to DIY) coming up worked in my favor... but a 36k mile car should not need anything major, maintenance-wise. I'd still take it in for a good look to see if anything is leaking or otherwise in need of repair. I'd still offer something like $16,300 and see what happens. In my experience, "firm" just means that they don't want idiotic lowballs.

As for the TL, I chose mine over an low mile '07 or '08 TL Type-S. The Honda 3.5 is a nicer, smoother, and better-sounding engine, but the Accord roots show through a bit more than I liked. It's a great handling, fun car, but damn that torque steer in the 6-speed cars. Plus they all squeaked and rattled over bumps, and my G with twice the miles does not. I was replacing a '14 Accord Sport that I didn't really like though, so that may have had something to do my aversion...

 

Good deal, as long as it has a clear CARFAX go for it!

The Nissan VQ up until recently when it has become long in the tooth has been consistently rated very highly. Over the Honda 3.5.

 

"Ratings" aren't really that relevant when it comes to what I'm talking about. Drive each car back-to-back to see. Both are great engines that have been around forever, and I really like my VQ35HR, but the J35 is smoother and more refined... it's kind of like how Infiniti and Honda/Acura products are when compared to each other. Both are generally very good, but one tends to be smooth and delicate, and the other just isn't.

Anyway, OP, did you buy it?

 

I bought my 2007, 1 owner G35S (Nav, tech pkg., adaptive HD & cruise) last month with 50K milles for $15... Still smells new!

However it hasn't been trouble free - lost a A/C compressor due to corrosion on a fitting (seller replaced) & an alternator (my $). In other words, even with low miles it's still 8 yrs old - have it inspected & you should be good to go!
