Bought myself a G35 Sedan

Went to see it. Liked it. And bought it.
It's 2004 model. It had 89450 miles on it. Paid $7999
Looks clean inside out with cosmetic.
Service was done locally but not at dealer.
Not all service records are available.

Driving it for few days and getting used to it.
I would welcome any/all recommended maintenance.
I would also like to hear any upcoming problems.

Thank you!!

Welcome aboard! Sedans kick ***!!

I would do regular maintenance at your mileage....plugs, oil, filter, trans fluid, diff fluid, in cabin filter, air filter and handle any issues as they arise. You'll be golden.

Welcome aboard!!! I loved my sedan so much that when the wife totaled it I went and got another one that is ahead newer lol.
My dad taught me every time you buy yourself a used car to give it a time up as soon as you can and a fresh oil change so you know where it stands with everything. So I would highly recommend oil, plugs, and air filter at the very least, but I would do all the services that paixao recommends sooner than later.

@faiz23 - No I am not you think someone I am at slickdeals.

@nism0b0y - Oil was changed day before I bought this car. have a receipt and also I checked oil that looks fresh. I am going to replace filter and spark plus as soon as wether warms up a bit.

@PAIXAO - I will be looking for transmission fluid and diff fluid replacement. if there is any DIY available then I will do it myself.

Thanks folks.

Here is the picture, no mods just a raw car....

Aiming on mods for...
1) Halo headlights
2) Lowering springs
3) Spoiler
4) After market rotors/pads, may try newer years setup if fits
5) Double din NAV setup

Pending on how money comes handy to throw in.

It still does smell like a new car inside when you get in.
My previous car I bought at 35k miles (not an Infiniti) didn't smell that much new.

Welcome to DRIVER & CONGRATULATIONS!

You're right at the mileage where Nissan recommends total fluid change....everything. You have a clean sedan, Congratulations! Before you jump on the mod wagon like lowering, do some research on the cost of doing it right. We have DIY vids on everything you need to do.

Atharyn, you may be better off replacing the window motor than messin with it. You don't need to get stuck somewhere and the window not go up. Have a brake shop check out your rotors, noise could be everything from pads to bearings. We don't want to hear you lost a wheel!

Thanks!!

I am waiting on weather to warm up and found several DIYs for fluids so it will be a piece of cake. I have lowered several maxima's & hondas myself in past using tein springs.They were all KYBs and Tein spring and running great so far. I will sure look for right combination to drop this car. First of all I need to get double din to toss in navigation, it's just hard driving around without nav I am used to with it from many years. Second I want to get rid off spark plugs to throw in some ngk iridium as a part of tune up.

Have you guys ever seafomed G's?
