Still alive and looking for a hand...
So, some of you may remember one of my last posts when just after my car was totaled. I've stopped in from time to time to see how things were going, it just always pains me to see everyone's rides. I miss mine so much. I've been here in Germany now for 9 months. I've been riding around in a European spec BMW 3 series. I really don't like it, but they are just a dime a dozen here. I'm still looking for a new G, but they just aren't too popular over here. So, I was wondering, if anyone is selling one, or if any of you guys know of anyone that is, please maybe let me know. I'm willing to pay for shipping obviously. I'm in love with this car and just GOTTA get another one.

Re: Still alive and looking for a hand... (AddictionG35)
Holy crapoli Joe it's been awhile!!!
nice to see you around...although it breaks my heart to see your G in that condition. Just keep checking back here as well as our classifieds section.
BTW...you don't need a G to post here...everyone is welcome!

Hey nice to see you back. How is the Auttobahn?
How was winter for you?
About your question. I would ask around how much the shipping is. Trust me on this one. It is a fortune. You can buy Infiniti Coupe overthere too. I've seen a few last time I was there. So I assume there is some for sale.
Why not just buy a new sedan with the 3.7 engine and the 7 speed auto. They are available in Europe. There is 2 dealership in Germany if I am right. The sedan faster anyways.( I know I know coupe guys )heheheh Also more room if you want to take your little one out for a drive.

Sorry about the car incidence. I know how you feel. Why don't you just wait until you come stateside to buy another G-coupe? There will be plenty waiting to be bought especially now that gas prices are sky high. Think about it!

Re: Still alive and looking for a hand... (AddictionG35)
Well, It's nice to see that I wasn't forgotten. Good to see you all again too!
Joe: You know, I thought about that, when I had bought my G I got in pretty good with the guys at the dealer, they actually let me take one out for a day when they had just got them in. It's definitely one SEXY ride, I'll admit that, but for some reason, after driving the 06-07's and the G37, I've realized. I'm partial to the 03-04's. I like the interior better. I pulled some of the after market stuff off, unfortunately, I didn't have the time to pull off the exhaust, and the pop charger was kinda damaged. I did take my DVD/NAV out, my Skyline kickplates, pedals, clear corners.
Sean: Tell me about it, I've seen like 2 or 3 coupes around here and like one or two sedans, and it kills me every time. Makes me want to cry. There is actually someone here selling an 04 silver/black interior coupe, 5AT, judging only from the pictures, cause they never seem to be around to answer the phone, it looks pretty nice, no spoiler or brembos so it makes me wonder what else it has(or doesn't) that mine did. But that's ok, my whole intent in the beginning was modifying it anyways. Ad says 49K for $19,500 obo. So, I'm giving it some thought. Not too hot on the Silver, but my plan with my old red one was to pick up the Kenstyle body kit and find a place that can get me the old R34 GT-R Bayside Blue and repaint it. But I'm still looking. As for the classified section of the forums I posted a reply to HBG35Coupe's post, looks like he's been trying to sell his for a while. I seem to remember a certain someone was trying to sell a really beautiful black one a while back, for some reason Kenrik's name keeps coming to mind.
Zozo: The autobahn can be crazy at times, but I actually like the efficiency of how they drive here alot. You hardly EVER have that jerk hole just chillin in the fast lane that just looks at you in the rear view when you come up on his tail and slows down more. Here, they are VERY good about using the for left only for passing. I don't get passed as much as I thought I would, even when I am driving on unrestricted autobahns, I guess I just naturally love to drive VERY fast! Very regularly between 160-190kmh back and forth from work. I've looked into shipping a little bit, and was even thinking about seeing if I can get the military to pay for it since I was authorized a POV shipment and never did cause of the wreck.
You know, I know that a lot of guys have a place in their hearts for the Sedan, but I'm definitely a coupe guy. So much sexier to me, even the styling of the tail lights, and since it's just my 4 year old and I, it's definitely got all the room I really need. If there ARE 2 dealer's here I have never heard of them, and even if their were... the exchange rate here is getting worse and worse. It's getting very close to being an almost 2 to 1 rate.(1 euro = 2 dollars) I think it closed around .615 euro cents on the dollar for the weekend and was as low as .60something a couple days ago.
All and all though, that was my original plan when I first got here, was to just wait and save and get a new one when I get back to the states, but I am so sick of this BMW(NOT a fan of BMW's at all). And, I'm not far from the Nurburgring and I was SO looking forward to racing around it in my G on an open track day.
Anyway, thanks all for the warm "welcome back," I promise I'll stick around and drop my 2 Euro more often.

Re: Still alive and looking for a hand... (AddictionG35)
OUCH! Sorry to see the pics!My local Nissan dealer has two black G's 07 and 04 5AT.Are you looking for a specific color?? 04 5AT?
I recently traded in one of my sedans for the blue 04 coupe! For some unexplainable reason, the 04 seats feel better to me than the other years.And, I test drove ALL of them!! My a$$ was happy in the G37 seats too, but was too much $.

Re: Still alive and looking for a hand... (SVTCOBRA)
03 or 04 6MT preferred but 5AT is cool too, that's what my baby was and she was still a blast to drive! Color... I like Red and Blue the most, black and silver is cool too, but don't really like the white. I also prefer the black leather to the tan. But like I said before, in the end, the plan is to get it in R34 GT-R Bayside Blue. So, color isn't crucial. G37 WAS pretty comfy, but honestly, I don't like that whole, screen integrated stereo thing, I like the ease of ripping out that Bose head unit and popping mine own "whatever" in.
