My 09 was brand new, and so far I've had zero problems with it. (36K miles). This is exceptional, and unexpected.

Going on now into its 4th year, I know I'll have to do brakes sometime this spring. That's about it.

When you buy ANY car used, there's always a question of how the previous owner(s) treated it. Buying "certified" from a dealer isn't much of a guarantee, as you found out. But the car is basically OK.

Incidentally, in my research prior to buying, I noted the car was pretty much run-of-the-mill as far as exotic performing parts. Same engine as the G37, etc. etc. It's the configuration/assemblage in a light small frame that gives us the extra enjoyment, the enhanced value.

Find a competent mechanic to go over your car in depth looking for the types of problems you might expect. (This is what you might have considered investing $100 in back when you bought your used car.)

Good luck!
