If it does I would be the second person to be fooled by these scum bag A$$holes. If this is the same car which by the details there is NOWAY that it cant be a different car then I had the same exact thing happen to me. Thank God and my very persistent father that I was able to get the entire amount of the car back and i was able to find a different G that I'm in love with.

Sorry, i didnt have time to read through all 4 pages... but WTF kinda POS dealership wouldnt at the VERY LEAST MINIMUM perform an oil change and flush out what they can before selling the car, when they supposedly knew the oil on the car has never been changed. And we're not talking about a 1991 toyota tercel 4speed manual vehicle here... I guess its a good thing they left it, this way atleast you were able to find out the truth about the vehicle.
This dealership and the previoius owner(s) should be physically smacked down to their core.

Tell me about!! apexi957 can attest to the fact that it sucks to buy a new car and take it to the dealership and them tell you that the engine is sludged and the warranty on the car is voided!!! thankfully we both were able to resolve the problem.

That is really odd becasue under the terms and condition on the lease, you need to keep up with maintenance. If you do not, you are liable for all damages that occur. This is partially the previous owners fault for not keeping up with maintenance, as well as the dealerships for not demanding the services. I have no idea what kind of dealership would not change the oil before they sold a used car anyways. That is insane. You can return that car 100%. This was your "Personal Friend" who sold you a car he knew was bad? Sounds more like a ****head to me. That is neglegance and falls on the dealership 100%. Technically, that should not have even come close to passing Infiniti Certification. That in itself is deceit. The whole deal should be null and void and you should report that to the BBB.

Sup guys, my dad recently purchased a 2009 G37S 6mt less than a week ago. I checked out the car and the car drives fine and clean. CarFax and Autocheck came out clean, so we decided to buy it. It was $24k after taxes for 35,xxx miles, nuff said. Seems like a good deal right?
We took it to the Infiniti dealership for an oil change today and we get this picture below us. Dealership says that this was a lease car and has NO service history. They even said that the oil filter was the original one. Motor is sludged up from the previous owners negligence/ignorance. Infiniti said that it's reccomended to either do a engine flush which might not flush the problem or complete engine overhaul with NO warranty. I understand that the dealership MIGHT be selling us a service, but even a car noob will tell you 35,xxx miles with no oil change is a bad thing.
Dad called the original dealership we purchased it from and they say that they will do a engine flush for us. The salesman said that he would bring it to their sister dealership (Mitsubishi) to get an engine flush and everything done. We even had him admit that he knew the motor had a sludging "issue". He is also a personal friend of mine, so with that said salesman are scum aha. In the end, he said that he would do the flush and if we didn't like it we can return the car.
My stand.
Return the car.
Dad's stand.
Flush it and if nothing happens we return the car.
So guys with that said, WHAT DO NOW?
For the people who don't care about reading here's the summary.
Salesman sold us a car that had a sludge up engine that went without an oil change for 35,xxx miles. We even had him admit to the problem. What would you do in our situation? Let them have a chance or return the car?

I would not keep this car long term, the wear inside is likely well advanced now. Sorry bro. Wish I had better things to say about this.
I would be contacting my attorney with this hard evidence and seeking satisfaction from the dealer that sold the car to you.

idk if it was stated prior: (didnt get a chance to read all 4 pages yet)
id walk away, as this "flush" could loosen a glob of sludge, and that glob could act like a blood-clot and clog up a oil line, starving the engine off from crucial oil supply and essentially seize your engine.

I guess you guys didnt read through the entire thread but the OP did return the car and after I bought it I returned it a week later. To what htownboy said, I had a professional mechanic and very close trusted friend look at the car and since the engine was flushed after the OP bought the car, the car's engine was spotless and drove excellent. But like everyone has said, it has a much deeper and darker problem lingering in the engine. The dealership that sold the car to bought of us finally admitted wrong doing and told my dad that they are just going to have to sell it at auction and lose money on it. Hopefully no one else gets screwed from lying salesmen.
