possibly trading in A/C coupe :(

[sashashams]

What does NiCo think of a possible trade in. Would be trading in my 2010 A/C coupe with some after market wheels and CMOD for a used 2008 g37s fully loaded with roughly 40k miles at the dealer. Its a huge upgrade but is it worth it? Heres images of both, the g37 is listed at approx $30,000

That is the ACTUAL G37 you would be getting, or a pic you pulled from the interweb? Something aint right...

Yah, is this a straight up trade for that exact G? Or your A/C + cash?? The dealer would be pretty dumb to let this happen but if u can do it with out getting screwed then id say yes for sure.

So it would be my a/c plus around $8000, the g37s shown is the exact one I would get, it comes fully loaded with nav and moonroof and has roughly 45k miles

Umm....f**k ya you should do it.

Uhm. is your car a 3.5 or 2.5? how many miles are on it? seems like a decent price on the G but i bet you could lower it a little, can you find out what it's original sticker price was? would you go for praticality or just want performance. looks like a custom paint job as that looks like matt black but that don't mean sh*t when it comes to resale value.

For 30k, I would get an STI. Thats just me..

[sashashams]

My A/C is a 2.5 and has 15k miles on it, kelly blue book value at around $18,000-20,000. I originally purchased the A/C at the end of 2010 for $23,000 out the door. The g37s is listed at 30,000, MSRP: 34,000, and a brand new 2011 g37s is base $44,000. So my ultimate goal would be to get 19 for the Altima and then run the dealer down to around $28,000 for the g37 with the thought of paying it off at once with no financing. The g37 would be for practical use and should ultimately last me through my college years and senior year so lets say 7 years. Considering its 3 years old i think its practical to have a 10 year lifespan. I like how the car is already modded to how i would love to have it done, saves me around 2k for new wheels and tires, and you gotta admit the paint job is unique.

Is hoping to get 7 years out of it a little too ambitious? I'm not very familiar with the longevity of infiniti cars.

and at the idea of a STI, i dont really like the look of the STI but i do love its performance, surely if i wanted to shoot for performance i would get the STI but i also want the car to look somewhat sheik.

You'll get another 7 years out of it no problem as long as you take care of it of course.

Agreed. Looks like a pretty good deal to me. Big fan of matte black and 37's. And btw a/c stands for altima coupe so no need to write coupe after it lol.

[sashashams]

Yeah I think im gonna go for it. And I realized that I had been typing a/c coupe sometime in the middle of that post, thought I had corrected them
All hehe
