Also the 2010 also has sonar backup sensors, which I use all the time, 2009 doesn't. The 2010 will have more time left on the warranty and has a different kind of paint, which I hear chips less. I paid 35K for a 2010 G37s (19K miles with tech, nav, premium, wood trim and sport packages) in mint condition (not a scratch or ding anywhere) back in December, so figure the price should be about 2-3K less by now. Figure 32k-33k for a sport and 31k-32k for the base.

 

I would have gone for 2010 model but that turned to have damages I mentioned earlier. And I am not able to find any more used 2010 G37 verts in black color in 200 miles of my area. That's why I don't have too many options.
I am not sure if I am too much worried about HD nav screen but bluetooth audio is certainly plus. But if I can get an adapter for that, I am okay with that. USB adapter also works fine for me.

 

Bad luck.

Somebody bought it before I could go.

 

Don't worry about it. Be patient man. If you rush into things you'll end up getting what you didn't want so you won't be 100% satisfied thus you'll regret it. If you know what you want stick with it and keep searching. It'll come up. Autotrader, cars.com, craigslist, newspaper, even private classified forum on here. If you find something perfect even from out of the state you could fly there and pick up the car or fly there look at the car and have it shipped back.

 

Hey Gshockneo, you seem like a nice fellow. Would you like to buy my car? I might consider selling it. It's a 2012 G37S Sedan 6mt with a lot of upgrades and about 14,500 miles on it. Let me know if you're interested, ill sell it to you for whatever my payoff is (dont know what it is but it should be around 34k) without additional charge for upgrades. You can have them all for free. Let me know

 

Lol didn't he want a convertible, aren't brand new G37's going for $30-35k, with the release of the Q50 the MSRP and bargaining room has dropped, and I believe he was in the mid 20's budget

 

Ooops didnt know all that about the new G's, just knew he wanted an Infiniti so i thought i would throw it out there hehe But i think his budget was around 29-31.

 

Thanks Track Start for offer but I am looking for convertible but yes budget was ~30K.

 

Quick update on my car search -

After missing out on 2 car deals because of couple of reasons (one was damaged, other got sold), I found one option.

It's 2010 Nav, Sports G37 vert with 33k miles. It is CPO and carries CPO warranty (additional 2 years/100k miles) on it. Price being offered is $33,500. Without additional CPO warranty, cost is $32,700.

Also it is out of state and 800 miles from here. But I still want to fly out there and take a loot at car myself. So that travel would cost around $500 and additional shipping cost (I can't drive it back that long).

How does that deal sound? It seems little expensive to me. I would have liked $32,000 with CPO. How much should I offer? Any suggestions?

 

I would be a little more patient and find one for the price and color you want and closer, it's ok if you missed deals, there's more to go around

 

So after some negotiation - I am settling for $33k with CPO warranty.

I had one quick question on external mechanic inspection. I had read that external inspection is always recommended for used cars (That's how I found out one car I was going for had damage) but this is a CPO car. Would it still be wise to go for inspection?

 

Okay consider me fnatic but I have one more question on tire conditions. How does these tires look? Are they in okay condition for 2010 car or are they too worn out?

 

Haha tires look fine man. The car is 3+ years old. If those are original tires the car must have been barely driven or driven easily. But then again that could be its 4th set of tires and the pervious owner floored the car everywhere. No way of knowing.

 

^ Lmaoooo yup but chances are that if the owner floored the sh¡t out of the car everywhere he went, he likely wouldnt keep buying new sets of Bridgestone Potenza RE050A because those tires are stupid expensive for what they are and not worth it whatsoever. So altough it is possible it could be his 4th or 5th set, it is more likely that it is his original set and he has been taking good care of the car.

 

Update on car -

I found out that CPO is actually dealer certified not manufacturer certified. I had earlier agreed on $33,000 for 2010 G37 convertible (sports package 7 speed Automatic + manual shift and Navigation package) thinking it was Infiniti certified car. But now I am not so sure. I was also skipping external inspection but now I would certainly need to get that taken care of.

Any suggestions guys?
