East Coast G35 Coupe Search

Brandon1 · 03-03-09, 04:50

Ok guys, i'm down to my last option. My father and I are looking for a car for my sister when she turns 16. Sis has always been in love with G35 coupes, so seeing as the safety rating, gas mileage, reliability and price are all within our criteria, we have been searching for one for about 6 months.

Every once in a while we will come across a decent deal, but here in NC, seems all the G's are wrecked or way overpriced.

We are looking for a 2004-2006 G35 Coupe (any color considered) for less than $19k and less than 60k miles. This is the KBB value on the car, so we are just trying to find a decent one.

If you happen to know of one for sale on the east coast, or if you happen to do a quick craigslist search in your area, i'd much appreciate it. We only have about a month left (sis b-day is April)

Thanks

I can recommend Portner Motors, they are in NJ but I sure you could arrange shipping or pickup, they are very good at finding what you are looking for.

Have you tried searching on autotrader.com and cars.com ?

Yeah, that was the first thing I did a couple months ago. Hence the quote "down to my last option"

I don't necessarily think giving a girl a car with almost 300hp is a good idea for her first car. And an Infiniti will be expensive to fix when she crashes it. And the statistics say that something absurd like 8/10 drivers will crash their car within the first year of their license.

I told the same thins to my parents when they got my sister a car when she turned 16. They didn't listen to me and bought her a more or less brand new Lincoln MKX. She crashed it last week, and has had it since August. I'm not even going to get into the fact that they bought her an MKX whereas I got a 200k mile Explorer for my first car, when I was almost 19.

But even if you don't heed my advice (which you most likely will not, seems to be a common pattern with people and my good advice), offleaseonly.com is a good place to check. Of course, they're out of Florida, which might be farther away than you'd want.

The car choice has already been made. I did not ask for advice or comments on what sort of car that my father is going to get for her, simply where to find one. My family consists of a bunch of gear heads that have been driving various sorts of vehicles since we were all kids. Thanks anyway.

Well I usually wouldn't be the one to say this but your arrogance has got to go. No one will help you with anything with an attitude like that. Reality is even though you may not have asked for people's opinion on your family's car choice - you did post on an open forum where people express their opinions on a regular basis.

Maybe take a moment to relax before you upset those who could very well help you find what you are looking for.

Thanks

Arrogance? I've been here for over 4 years with many constructive and helpful posts. When a person asks a question on a forum, yes it may be an open forum, but they expect the *question* be answered, not someones $0.02 thrown in without asking.

I'd appreciate it if you dont come into my thread and accusing me of being arrogant and having an attitude. If you dont like what I post, then you dont have to read it. I posted a thread to ask a simple question, not to have 2 or 3 people give their own opinions without being asked.

Back on topic. To clarify, i'm asking if anyone knows of a G35 coupe for sale, not opinions on the subject.

Go on G35driver.com

They also have a classified section where you can find a nice G35 from a member of the forum if they are selling. Now let me give you some info on the car that you may or may not already know.

First off, it's important to know if it is a 6MT or an Auto. PM me if you want, and I can give you some more info. Also tell me if it's a manual or auto car you are buying.

Good luck

It will need to be an Auto, that should have been stated first.

I looked over on g35driver.com, but cant see much since i'm not a forum member.

You have alot to learn young grasshopper, good luck in your search.

Take your comments to PM please. They are not required nor wanted in this thread. You are turning my simple question into a childish pissing match.
