Purchasing a 2005 G35 coupe 6MT possibly this weekend. Any concerns or advice as I am new to learning about them and don’t know much about VQs or what to watch out for with the ownership. This G I am looking at has 100k miles, garage kept and extremely up kept with oil changes and maintenance.

 

Standard issues you'll read about throughout the forum. 05-07 coupes with the 6MT will usually develop the oil consumption issue at some time, keep an eye on your oil levels. Window motors can fail, door lock modules can fail, many dashes develop cracks, tires will wear a little wonky even on stock alignment etc. Just search here or on Google for "common 05 G35 6MT issues" and you'll have plenty of reading for your pleasure, or displeasure, as the case may be.

 

Look for worn bushings on the suspension arms. U can always use that to bring the price down.
