Hey guys,

I'm currently bringing my 2011 VW GTI back to stock and will be trading it on for a used G37x. I was wondering if you guys could give opinions on which of these 2 you'd go with or neither. Based on what I'm reading in here both these look to be cheaper but they both have a clean carfax with service records to match. Both were lease vehicles and seem to be in good shape. Of course, I wont know until I get to them in person but I'm new to the platform and you guys might be able to see something I may overlook.

This will be my daily driver and the only mods I'll do is coilovers and wheels (maybe springs) not sure. My current VW is on airride and I love it but I dont want to go that route again for a DD. I drive 60mi/day and need the AWD in northeast where I am.

Anyways, below are the two in question. Thanks in advance for any advice!

The $20,080 blue one (incorrectly listed as Pacific Blue - its actually Blue Slate) does not have navigation, but the $20,400 Graphite Shadow does, so if this is an important feature for you I'd go with the grey one.

I think you will find keeping the grey vehicles Graphite interior cleaner will be easier as well.

Both cars had Goodyear Eagle RSA as OEM tires. The grey car is showing Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 (performance all season) and the blue might still be on stock Goodyears (yawn). if this is the case, the grey one has the tire advantage.

The blue color does nothing for me. I think a nice window tint, wheels, and some Swift Springs on the grey one and you'll have youself a real looker. Do some research about coilovers for AWD sedans and good luck with your purchase!

 

Thanks GAWD! My initial thoughts are that Nav isnt as important to me, especially since I have it in my current vehicle and now some 4 years later I see the maps changing and my phone is a more reliable/quicker option. Had this been 2 years ago I'd say NAV is a must. Regardless, it would still be nice to have especially since their both in the same price range and based on your observation the grey is clearly the better of the two. Thanks again!

 

I personally would pick the gray one. Its basically the same price as the blue one and has a few more options. Go with that one.

 

Thats my thought, but do they seem like good deals?

 

between the 2, i would go with the one with navigation. the only reason being is to be able to stream audio over bluetooth. you can't do it in a non-navi g37. if that isn't important to you, then i think the grey one looks good.

 

What jman said. Remember no audiostreamingin non navi. No aux too

 

Just put a deposit down on this one today. Hopefully if all goes well with negotiations, I'll be picking up the car next Saturday

No digital clock either, lol


... i'm not joking.

 

Considering they both are the same price give and take some Yea. Id def take the optioned out one over the non if i could get it for the same price. Its a No brainer. Good Choice.

 

Well after going back and forth with the dealer on price/warranty we landed here:

Certified Pre-Owned 2011 Infiniti G37 X 4D Sedan near Albany #P14352 | Lia Infiniti

Different than both prior. Miles are a little higher but not a big deal as I plan on keeping the car for at least 5/6 years. I like the color better, ideally I wanted white but I'll take silver since that leaves me with plenty of wheel choices .
Being that my last car was dark blue/purple wheel options/finishes were much more scarce.

Should be taking it home Saturday. Fingers crossed
