Insane Deal or Broken Car?

2011 Infiniti G37 Sport, $26,490 - Cars.com

So, is this legit? Before I even call the guy, I wanna make sure Im not walking into a world of pain and suffering. I've learned when things are too good to be true, most the time they are. Hoping this isn't one of those. Comments, Suggestions, Advice?

Looks legit, the description says journey though, not a sport. So it may be a base model which is why the price is low. They retail low 30's new, so that price looks fair to me for a year old car with almost 7k miles.

It can't hurt to try, run a carfax and see what comes back ?

Base model makes sense for the price, as RYs06MT said running a carfax is a good idea.

It's a journey but it has the premium package, performance tire and wheel package, navigation package, and interior accents package. So, I think it's too good to be true. The MSRP on this car is about 46-47K.

You know the old saying "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is." That car has been listed on Ebay for 2-3 weeks with an asking price of $39,500.

Very similar where I found a Nissan GTR with 14K miles on it for 50K. Found out within a second of the conversation it was a scam...

Im almost positive its a SCAM! Ive seen it before, on Audi S5's & M3's & ISF's. Pricing so low you cant believe it but then no contact info posted, just a name? You can only contact them threw the site and they will never meet you in person to see the car.

Since he says he drove the car "34 times a month since buying it" ? & "never lets the dealer wash it after service".

Ask for the VIN and which dealership did the service work, contact that dealership for the service records & ask them to do a full diagnostic on the car. The car is under warranty & let them know your about to purchase it out of state, it shouldnt an issue. Im certain he wont call you back after you start asking specifics...

It sure sounds like a scam....

Condition: It has never been driven in the winter time before, during, or after any snow storms. This means the car has never been touched by salt.
Vehicle Location: Downey, CA

Downey CA + Snow

Its possible that that may be a legit deal but please take my advice dig up as much info on the car that you can. When i bought my 08 g37s w/49k miles a month ago, it was listed for 22k and i thought for sure something was wrong with. I did a carmax, and another car info tool as well, both came back clean. I also took the car to another mechanic and found out the front brakes needed to be replaced. Took it back to the dealership they replaced the front brakes just like that. The more info you do on the car the better you will feel about this "deal". GL!
