The biggest drawback is definitely the high mileage. The dealership sent me a video of the car and it looks pretty clean. Just don't know if I can be at ease buying a car with 105k miles for that price.

It has normal interior wear (cubby switch, driver door handle), stained (?) seats, and at least 1 curbed wheel. Overall it looks really nice in the video for how many miles it has.

Well guys I purchased a g35, Im sure some of you know whos car it is also.


Black G with a vortech s/c and gold GTS wheels. They had it at a dealer on causeway and I scooped it up, brimbos, stance coils, sway bars, and the s/c. All I need in a car, just going to change the wheels out.


Should be a fun ride. =)
