Ran across an anniversary edition G37 local to me that was just traded in today. Car seems to be in great shape minus a crack in the chin spoiler and some wear on the driver thigh bolster. Otherwise it looks to be in great shape. One owner vehicle with 108xxx miles on it but they listed it for $13000.

Looking for something to drive daily with kid on the way that I can fit a car seat in the back. Is 108k too high for these or is it priced right?

Thanks!

coupe or sedan? if sedan, not worth 13k, maybe 11k.

Its a sedan

Any reason only 11 for a sedan? I know it has over 100k miles on it, but is the 2010 less favorable or something? Or is the 6MT just that much more valuable? It seems like there is a crazy disparity when it comes to different G37 sedans. I find a 2011 with 70k miles and they want 18k for it, or a 2012 with 50k miles and they're asking over 20k. Does 2 years and 50k miles really equal 10k of depreciation? Seems like a no brainer to try to pick this one up for 11-12k, or am I missing something?

The facelifted Q50 has already been out so the G37 sedan was devalued. Once the Q60 coupe starts flying off the shelves, I suspect that the automatic coupe will take a hit as well (not sure about 6MT's).
Also, there's a negative stigma with cars over 100k miles, so the price will get hit.
Lastly, pre-2012 models have a small, but greater chance of experiencing the rear timing gasket issue, so 2012+ models are valued a bit higher.

I didn't even know that was an issue. Is there a thread with common problems like this found in the G37? I tried searching and the only "common" issues I found were things like a touchy 7AT, but nothing actually maintenance related.

Even if it does run 18 hours at 100/hr and 400 for the part, if I really can get into this thing for $12k is it that bad? Similar 2012 models with average mileage (15k/yr) look like they are going for around 17k. Sure its a 2 year newer car but with 5k I can easily do that fix and still have cash left over. Thoughts?

At 108k the timing issue has probably already come and gone if it was going to at all, obviously no guarantees though. Is it an auto or manual? I'd say talk them down or include a warranty for free. I bought my 08 with 88k for $13,900 6 months ago, although a coupe.
