Talking My New Ride....

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

First of all, I’ve been a LONG time troll to this site and finally pulled the trigger on a 2007 Diamond Graphite G35 Coupe. Bought the beast two Friday’s ago, Aug 31 and gave it the Zaino treatment last Friday night.

Here is the breakdown of the deal I wanted and got, after a very long negotiating process:

2007 G35 Coupe – Diamond Graphite
  • Premium Package
  • Sport-Tuned Suspension Package
  • XM Satellite Radio
  • Painted Splash Guards
  • Trunk Mat
  • Tint with Lifetime Warranty
  • Wheel Locks
10 Miles on it when I test drove it, 17 as I pulled out of the lot.

--- $34,800....Not too bad, probably could have gotten more out of the deal, but thought hey that’s really what I want anyways.

I attached some pictures after I got back to the house; please let me know what you think and feel free to leave any questions or comments, thanks!

Finally, this website is the best source of information. I definitely would not have been as confident during the negotiating without the tips and comments I read here. Plus I learned how to wash a new car correctly and what products to use, so again thanks to everyone that contributes to the site and I look forward to offering up my own insights.

just curious, but why not the G37? 34,800 is a lot for a last generation even if it IS "new"

617G,

Excellent question and I was in the market for the G37, but after shopping around for one with different dealers, I just didn't like the options I was getting for the price, plus a lot of the dealers I met with were being very difficult about giving me a deal. The initial markup of the G37 from the 2007 G35 was also a huge factor and when this particular dealer showed me this car and gave me the price I wanted, it was a done deal. I just wanted the right car for the right price, didn't have be the latest and greatest!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Here are some pictures from last Friday after I spent many hours cleaning both the interior and exterior. Followed the Zaino procedure I received from their website and some of the pointers I found here. Also used a ClayBar for the first time and man did it help.
