Heyy guys I'm looking to buy my 1st g35 coupe black on black only. I've been looking for a kind of rare car a 03 acura cl type s 6 speed nighthawk black pearl with black interior in mint condition for a few months now. All I've found is high mileage cars that's been resprayed and not in mint condition. So I decided since I always loved the looks of the g35 coupe hey why not pay a few grand more.

I remember a friend of mine telling me that the newer g35's are better something about options and more hp and tq. They are made from 03-07 right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a such thing as a type s just wondering. If so I will most likely try to look for one of those if they aren't too rare. Can any give me some tips and pointers on which models or year's to look for since I'm not to familiar with the car. I used to work at a ford dealership and still do side work at my house so I'm very mechanically inclined. I have a car lift at my house so I will be able to fully inspect the car before purchasing it. Please let me know guys thanks

Yeah there is 03-04 and the 05-07. Few more ponies on the 05+.

What to look for. some G consuming oil a little. 03-04 had some exessive brake dust. Nothing what a good pad can't fix.

So, you join an INFINITI forum and chose 1foxbody as your ID?!?!?!

I've been very pleased with my 04 Coupe. I think it's actually a 2004.5 Coupe based on my research.

I do have a neighbor with a portable car lift, but have never used it. Looks like a big fork lift....

I use that user name on every forum I go on it's because I have a 92 stang lx hatch as my all out drag car and a 93 stang lx notch as my little street car haha

Yupp having a lift makes working on cars a lot easier.

Hey guys I haven't been on in awhile. After doing some research and from what you all told me. I've decided to only look for a 05-07 black on black 6 speed coupe I've been looking locally in this area (zip code 23325) it's rare to find one. I'm still test driving a few local ones that aren't the color combination's I want to get a feel for the car. So I can compare it to one I really want, once I find it. Hopefully I can find one before summer comes around.

Just checked and Autotrader says there isn't one (black/6mt/2door/05-07) within 100 miles of me (28078) But, there are 13 within 200 miles.

Here is one is Raleigh that looks good! Looks to have sport and prem package.http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...thumb

Hey guy's I haven't been on here in awhile since I've been busy. I'm still looking and I'm being very patient since I'm not in a rush at all, I would like to buy something before summer. I will only get a 05+ black on black 6 speed no matter what. I'm willing to drive a few hundred miles from my zip code if I find a clean one with low miles. My price limit is 20 g's but I would definitely like to find something cheaper than that so I can start modding it haha. I will keep in touch thanks for the reply's...

That's too far out of my price range thanks for posting that for me anyways.
