Not sure what you're asking in detail?? You are already looking at a 2006 m45S with excellent history or is that what you are for sure looking FOR?? Anyways, if it is low miles and excellent maintenance history I recommend you buy the Infiniti elite extended warranty at time of purchase or shortly there after because as the miles go up so does the price of the warranty... Also, as far as the car itself I highly recommend the advanced Tech package!! Includes ICC, LDW, 14 speaker Bose studio surround sound w/dvd player and speakers in the two front seats... This will limit the aftermarket stuff you will soon crave!! Like black housing headlights (sport) aero body lip kit (sport, should be on there but not always), superior sound system (Adv. Tech), navigation (tech, Adv. Tech) and front TV DVD (Adv. Tech).

The premium package m45 non sport is also great but hard to find. It has almost all of the aforementioned plus rear DVD, rear reclining seats, rear power sunshade, just no sport headlights (black housing) and no aero sport lip kit (unless it was added as an option..)

Best car that I've owned for the amenities and package but of course the the funnest. Make sure you buy a good warranty because not all cars will have a good engine. I replaced mine at 88k and the 2nd engine already had injector problems at 8k, its a good thing I have an extra engine laying around.

There's a member here that's been inactive for a bit but still very reputable selling his 08M45 Sport with 29k miles loaded with tech package, wheels, air suspension (has stock if you want it to be stock) beautiful pearl white etc... Much more!!! He works at Infiniti in Long branch, NJ. can provide financing and Infiniti warranty etc.. Just great!!
His name is Todd, goes by "clearbranj" here on Nicoclub I believe... I'll check for his posting and post up here if you think you may be interested...

Asking price is $29,995 I believe...

Hey pal I looked at the Lexus gs350 2008, before I decided on my M35s. Both great cars , the maintaince prices were higher with the Lexus. I have been very happy with my Infiniti.

I have an 07 M45S that just broke 37K miles that I am considering letting go only due to the fact, I had it stored the past 8 months and will be doing the same next year once my unit mobs again. I will be in GA at the beginning of July for school.
