My 04 coupe is needing about $1,200 in maint stuff....nothing too serious.
But, it's the end of the year and I always start lookin!!
Thinking about this 2012 Z with only 5K miles with Touring and Perf. package.
Looks/drives brand new.

Or, possibly a 2013 G coupe with Prem and Nav (which doesn't matter to me) with 11K miles.
It's $1,500 more, but might try and get it down closer to the Z.

Both, siver with grey interior.

No back seat in Z.....but pretty fun to drive!!!

Thoughts????

May come down to if you need the back seat/fold down rear seat. That's why I had the G35 coupe over 350Z.

G may hold value better down the road if you are thinking about that. But the Z would be a little more fun, hopefully its MT.

Nope, it's automagic......my left knee bothers me from time to time due to years of bball and TKD...so, I do enjoy an auto now. If it were not a daily driver, it would be MT for sure.....at the moment, I'm leaning back toward just keeping the 04 or getting a less expensive used G37. My youngest has 1.5 years left at UNCG which is of course a big factor.

Z is lighter, smaller, bit faster. G has a back seat and will hold its value better.

Both are a win :)

The Z was just a bit too bumpy of a ride. Fun, but drove a 2013 G37 just before driving the Z and big difference.
So, will look for a used G or just keep what I have.
Got close on a 2011 with 20K miles last night...black with stone.
Was $250 apart, but just decided I wasn't ready to pull the trigger on another car payment.
Maybe I was just hungry.....oh well. Will keep looking.

I assume the G you drove was a non-sport? They are a bit more bumpy as they have stiffer suspensions. You would hate mine as a DD as it's stiff as hell...it's great on fast/curvy roads tho :)
