Hello, I am looking at purchasing a 2008 G35 sedan (I currently have a 99 G20 with 167k on it).

The one that i have found i like the best the dealer said it was a "Infinity Buyback" from California. i know that Cali has insane Lemon laws. They state they have full maintenance records and the car fax to which they are sending me. Maintenance records show it went in for:

Windshield Wipers noise (Could not duplicate(CNP))
Grinding under pass seat (CND)
Sunroof Noise (Lubed tracks, replaced glass and seals)
Rear bumper color not matching Trunklid (Unknown what done)
Grinding noise in Pass door (CND)

Also They said they purchased the vehicle from infiniti and infiniti has included and extra 12 month warranty for it.

It is a 2008 sedan with Premium package and navigation and 31k miles and they want 21500

My question is is purchasing a "buyback" generally a bad idea. I've tried searching and using Google and he not seen much on it.

Optimally I would like a G35S sedan with navigation, premium package and black seats but all i can find between here (Tucson) and phoenix in the sport is either missing navigation or black (don't want black, white, red) (looking for the graphite shadow color)

Thanks

Will

Welcome to NICO! I haven't heard much on buybacks...but if it has a warranty, I would think you should be okay. Have you tried autotrader?

It is the same as a Lemon... I've decided against it

I've checked everywhere

I'm looking for an 08 G35 Sedan with Navigation, black interior and premium package at a minimum in Grey but optimally i would like the sport package as well.

Only ones i find are either black, white or a lot don't have navigation

Be patient, you should find one soon enough. Seems to me there were more of the gray made than other colors....at least I see more of them around.

All i'm finding is wrong color, No navigation, No Sport package, or they have the tan seats

I keep finding the ones i want on the east coast but nothing out here on the west.

If you still havent bought one as of yet, note that the 09 model have a much better automatic transmission than the 08 model.

If your interested, I have my 08 G37S coupe for sale here. But it is has a manuel transmission. But it ONLY has 18,0024 miles and it has all of the options, including the tech package and all wheel steering. It has the color you want too—light gray with stone (light gray) interior.
Check it out, Steve

I tend to like the 5AT a bit better than the 7AT. :crazy:
