G35 Question

[saraara]

Hello All,

I am considering a 04 G35 to buy and I am not sure I am making a right decision. The car is listed for $10,550 and it has got 89500 miles. It has got some scratch on front bumper and and 6" crack on rear bumper. The color is light silver with tan leather inside. Passenger seat has one very small color spot but it's really hard to see. Besides this the car looks and drives fine. I am a basic mechanic who can work on suspensions, spark plugs, oil stuff, and wheels/bearing stuff. However I do not know more about detail engine work or transmission work. Am I making a goof move and G35 is a reliable car? I am planing on to use this car until car die. Am I paying too much for this car? If yes then what would be the reasonable price to buy for? Also what are the common issues I will have going forward? The car was a lease and then it had two owners I believe. Thank you for any of your help.

The VQ35 is a great engine but there are known issues of oil consumption on that model G35, primarily due to blow-by. Not all engines experience the problems and some that do are not bad. Hopefully some others will chime in who have owned that generation of G.
