Why in my city (Phoenix) people are asking more money for used G35's than 350Z's?? I want to buy one or the other.. a 2003-2006 model. Is it because the 350Z costs so much to maintain? what's with people rebuilding 350's motors so soon? I have an Infiniti G20 now with 220k on the motor with no issues.. obviously this is why I need to upgrade cars.. Thanks for the assistance..

Back seats?

Yes a g is a more desirable car for most being it has back seats... And where have you read its expensive to maintain a z.

More people want practicality that sportiness. The Z is a pretty niche car.

Infiniti is practically a rebranded Nissan, its supposed to have more "luxuries" hence why it costs more.

If you want a sporty car then get the Z
If you want more practicality and don't want a sports car, then get the G

Because the G35 has a back seat?

I've seen a handful of Z's on this forum pass the 200k mark that still drove strong, and there even more with 150k+ as well. If anything, the Z engine is probably one of the car's strongest components.

Because MSRP of the G is more than an equally-equipped Z?

Why does a Lexus cost more than a Toyota?

The Z is less practical being a 2 seater with limited space.. It is seen more as a weekend car versus a daily driver esp. in places with harsh winters. Therefore another car/dd/beater or what ever is needed . These cars are also very reliable and strong, but costs to repair are the same and expensive. People do tend to beat on Z's more.

the G coupe and sedan is a better daily driven/commuting to work type of car. that's why you're more likely to see more of them than Z's, which is the case in my area.

For the same reasons that new G's cost more than new Z's.
