g35 question ... is it worth it?

[kxtony]

hi,
new to this forum...
i have a question about a 06 g356 speed...
I found one on craigslist for 10k with 115k+ miles...
I got the guy to drop down to 7500...
do you think its worth it, when i go to check it out what should i look out for, and he would be the second owner
thank you

hi,
what should i look out for,

Needed expensive repairs!

Have the vehicle inspected by a local Infiniti dealer prior to purchase and use any major defects to reduce the selling price or possibly walking away. Better to spend a hundred or so for an inspection than own a vehicle that is going to cost thousands in repairs.
The dealer can run the VIN number and provide a service history

If the car does check out and no major problems are evident, I'd take the chance, especially if the car is a manual. I have owned an '05 G coupe since '07 and I love the thing, but I have ALWAYS wished that I'd bought the manual. Today, it has 113,000 on it, and I enjoy it ALMOST as much as I enjoyed my 350Z. I'd be in daily orgasm if it were a stick shift.
There have been few problems with mine, naggy things that have diminished my undying love for the car somewhat, but I'd still rank it among my everlasting favorites despite the flaws.
It's a hell of a ride and a bargain at $7,500. I'd advise buying it, but do have it thoroughly checked out before you close the deal.

I (as long as it is in fairly decent condition) think that that is a great price as too I have just bought a 05 g35 6mt rev engine and paid $7500 also and I am extremely happy with my car and it had 123k when I bought it. Mine need some TLC because previous owners half a$$'d some things on it but other wise it is in excellent condition

100k+ miles is no big issue with the later-year G's as long as they have been maintained properly. Service records are a MUST when purchasing any high-mileage car. That being said a '06 6mt coupe with premium/sport options has a rough KBB of 8500. I would push for lower.
