himalaya333

I know it isnt suppposed to be on this forum but i asked a question about buying a z here before and it was much more helpful than the g37 forums. if you guys can be kind and help me it would be awesome

2009 Infiniti G37 x, $28,499 - Cars.com

1 owner. no navi. awd though so thats a plus! I will prolly put in a navi which will be 1,000 dollars.

i can get the price of this car down to 26000

or

2008 Infiniti G37S Coupe 26K Miles

1 accident, minor... 2 owners. couple of scratches and dings on the car because the guy lived in the city.

which one is more worth it? I am looking to buy soon.

The first link doesn't work.

The second car however is good, low miles. I would say since I can't see the 1st one I can't really tell you which one is better. But I can say always be cautious if you are buying a vehicle of CL, especially if you are paying a pretty solid amount (25k), private owners may hide some past information about the car that may suprise you in the future. Also warranties may not be carried over.

Get a Z. Stop wasting time.

^Maybe he needs the two extra seats?

Mecinoid

Let me input here. I went with a Maxima and then bought another Z.

I like the Maxima better than the G37 Sedan. However, that AWD would be nice.

If you have a family the G37 makes more sense. If you don't have another sedan or truck in the family to do chores. However, you can always rent a truck for $20 at uhaul for the day.

If you don't need four seats all the time and your passengers don't mind the back seats of the G37S; I'd go that way. The couple of thousand you'll spend either way doesn't matter if you don't get what you really want.

In the end it's up to you. They are both great choices. In my case, I wouldn't trade my 370Z for either. I did look at the G37S and it's pretty nice if you need those extra 2 seats. But, in my opinion the Z still looks like a superexotic sports car and the G looks like Grandad's luxo sport tourer.

When I had my 350Z I also had a really nice used sedan for family duty. That worked out great. I've stepped it up a bit with the 2011 Maxima and 2011 Z and don't see any new cars for over 10 years now.

My last Nissan (Pathfinder 01) still looked and ran good after 10 years. I sold it for a upgrade that I could pull behind my motorhome. Nissan 4WD are not flat tow friendly ;-(

I am only 19 years old and a college student. I am using my money to buy a car so i have to be really careful. I want a 370 but i really do not feel like 2 seats are enough and i do not have a lot of money so if i find out that i need a 4 seat car later, i would be in a lot of trouble. so if i got a g37 coupe, it would be perfect. i already considered every other car... Maxima is too big and g37 is perfect

this is another choice, how does this one look, It snows sometimes here, so my dad was saying awd would be better. i would never have any problems. How much should i pay out of the door for this car? i am walking in with cash in my hand so they probably wont let me leave.

That's a great price ($25K) for a 2008 G37S (every option) with 26K miles as long as the repair was done correctly and there was no frame damage. I'm a little worried about the fact that it has 2 owners already though. Maybe the car wasn't fixed properly. If you decide you want it, make sure you take it to a trusted mechanic first and have them look at the car. If they say it looks good then I say go for this one.

Haha, when I was a 19 year old, I had a beater Nissan 240sx for $2700. I learned so much from working on used cars. BTW, if you don't mind me asking, but sounds like you're making a lot of money for being a 19 year old looking for a 25,000 grand car. Insurance itself should've been a deal breaker. Otherwise, I'd just use the money to travel (like I did).

I just checked the carfax and the car with 2 owners, with 26k miles, it had said it had structural damage.. The guy said that it was untouched but the carfax still says there is structural damage. that is on the frame of course. Also, later in the carfax, he went to an infiniti dealership, and on the carfax it says "A structural / frame inspection using a computerized measuring system was completed. Vehicle structure / frame was reported to be within manufactured specifications."

Can i trust this? Is it okay to buy this car and will it last long? the private owner selling the car said that the frame was untouched. I dont know if i can believe him because the accident was with the 1st owner


also, i am 19 and have 18 thousand dollars, i worked since 9th grade and saved up for 5 years... I worked hard and i dont want to spend money and get screwed over. I might get this car for 23k without taxes. I will have to borrow some from my father.

Ya the second owner wouldn't know if it was untouched. I wouldn't buy it at $25K if it's ambiguous about the frame damage on Carfax.
