I looked at this car today it was very cleanly kept i was wondering if this is a good buy? and if i can get a free car fax report?
Is this a good buy? and how can i get a free car fax
Re: Is this a good buy? and how can i get a free car fax
Check the private party price range on the Kelley Blue Book web site (kbb.com). In the midwest, the price for an automatic with the premium package ranges from $10k for one in fair condition to $12k for one in excellent condition.
Regardless of the car's appearance, you need to pay a mechanic, who is knowledgeable about Infinitis, to perform a thorough inspection. If the seller won't agree, the car most likely has a serious problem he doesn't want you to find. Someone on the forum may be able to recommend a mechanic If you tell us where the car is located.
2003 was the first year for the G35. The preferred model years are 2005 and newer.
Since this is a fairly old car with quite a few miles on it, you need to keep a cash reserve for repairs. I would suggest $1,000 to $2,000. If you are buying a 2003 because you can't afford anything newer, you would be wise to find something you can afford or keep saving until you have enough to buy a newer model.
I can't help you with CARFAX beyond warning that a clean report is no guarantee of a good car. If the report lists an incident, you can believe that it is real. However, not everything gets into CARFAX. About all it's good for is a preliminary check to eliminate the sure losers that aren't worth the time or money required for a proper evaluation.

If you're gonna buy a car like that, pay for a CarFax. They're providing a service, they deserve to be paid.

I always buy a subscription when looking for a used car.
Use it to weed out the ones I won't even consider like cars from the north.

I would use AutoCheck because you get unlimited reports for a few months for just a little bit more than the CarFax.

yea carfax gives you only i think five lookups, but autocheck gives you unlimited for pretty much the same price. i used autocheck when i was searching for my 370Z, it really helped.chris01919 wrote:I would use AutoCheck because you get unlimited reports for a few months for just a little bit more than the CarFax.
