Arrow New to Infinity, Should I buy THIS car?

here is the listing:
Used Used 2012 Infiniti G37x AUTO For Sale Near Columbus, OH | VIN: JN1CV6EL4CM4D1408

price looks good compared to NADA and Edmunds.

what should I ask them to do regarding the long list of know TSBs?
can I expect them to do a preemptive strike for me if I bring the list in during the sales conversation?

it has 22,000 miles, probably on the original tires and brakes?
should I request new or allowance towards?

what else should I consider?

my choice is between this Coupe or THIS sedan:
Used Used 2012 Infiniti G37x AUTO For Sale Near Columbus, OH | VIN: JN1CV6AR0CM671408

welcome your thoughts before my Friday 9 am appointment.. less than 24hrs from now..

oh and btw, it either one of these or a low mileage 2103 Taurus SHO ( start the flames)

I would think about getting that Coupe, The Sedan doesn't have the Nav package in it.

Price seems high. I see 2 2012 g37x sedans near me with nav/prem package and low 20k miles for 27k

I have to lean towards the sedan.(Not just because I have one) Thats cheaper then what they would want for it down here in S. FLA. I would recommend the one with the Nav package though. It does come in handy at times.

My original plan was to go with a SHO. Went with a '10 G37x sedan and am happy I did. Can't give you much advice not knowing your situation tho

Drive the both of them and see which one meets your needs. I bought a new 2011 sedan. Kept it one year and traded it in for a 2dr convertible. the sedan was too big and too boring for me.

I'd avoid SHO if you are buying (as opposed to leasing).
Infiniti will have a much better reliability and while both cars are pretty equal in terms of performance, do keep in mind that SHO is essentially a Taurus - a front wheel drive car with a huge engine hanging from the front axel. Sure, SHO will have All-wheel drive, but you can't cure fundamentals.
So...go with either Infiniti

I wouldn't doubt the reliability of the SHO, Back in the day we called the Taurus a TANK....

200,000+ strong miles A ford is reliable

Now you do have a point with that drivetrain....A taurus sucks *** you would be bored as hell driving it.
