Hey guys, I've been poking around the forum for the past few weeks since I bought my black '05 G35 Coupe 6MT. I upgraded from my 2 door 96 civic with 192K miles that was so barebones it didn't have power steering. Needless to say, driving has become enjoyable once again.

It's got the premium package and the aero package I believe. No navigation unfortunately. Does anyone know if you can look up the options on your car by VIN anywhere?

When I first started looking, I had considered the G35s and Acura TLs, and had actually made my mind to go with the Acura. However, I still occasionally searched for G35s to see what was out there. After a few months of watching the classifieds, someone listed a 6MT G35 with 45k miles. I figured I'd give it a shot. As soon I test drove it, I was sold.

The first day I had my car, I was sitting in a parking lot and I actually had a guy totally walk all the way around my car, stand in front of it and check it out from top to bottom. And a few days ago, someone was waiting for me to get out of the grocery store to talk to me about my car! Can't say that ever happened with the Civic!

congrats on your purchase! Any mods planned? What part of NC you from?

Did you buy this from a lady in Chapell Hill?

As a matter of fact I did. Did you look at it?

Congrats! I also went from a 96 civic at almost 200K miles to a 2005 G35 coupe! I even sold the civic for $5K!

Nice! I upgraded from a 00 Eclipse to a 05G. It's a great feeling, sitting in that ride everyday! Sweet choice. Welcome!
