09 G37s Coupe 7a/t Advice
Selling my Mazdaspeed3 and thinking about purchasing a 2009 G37s Coupe with 51,000 miles. One owner, garage kept and very clean. Asking 18k for it. Wondering what advice you guys could give me as far as reliability and how well these cars last in the long run. Checked it out today and drove it briefly. Feels very solid. Thank you guys!
There is a TSB that fixes everything. Plus the grounding kit improves it even better. With both, I've got no issues with the transmission now and that seems to be the prevailing opinion here.

All good points. Thank you guys. I had a Mazdaspeed6 for several years. No stranger to poor gas mileage, premium only gas, and $100 oil changes every 3,000 miles. Definitely a step up for me though. Assuming any of the issues have already been resolved by now, but good to know that its no longer a huge issue.

Wow thats a great deal considering I just bought a 08 6MT with 54,000 miles for $23,000. Then again they killed on the price because its the only 6MT in 150 miles on here. Solid car overall
I have an 08 5at and put about 30k miles on it last year alone. These are great cars and they are very easy to work on. Just make sure you get a service history. I would also have an indie shop run a compression test before purchase just to make sure it hasn't been beat up on.

The price seems really low, considering clean carfax 09 Journeys with that mileage goes for around 20k+.

OK update. Clean Carfax with many service records all at certified Infiniti dealers but it appears its had multiple owners. Last owner had it for 2.5 years with all service records. No reported accidents or major repairs. Explains the price but is it a deal breaker?

From your first post(screenshot in case you delete this post like your previous one):
One owner? Now it has multiple? I thought it was owned by a CEO of a company and is selling because he got a replacement?
This is a post you just deleted before making the current one (screenshots attached):
haha why would I make that up? For the affirmation from complete strangers about an imaginary purchase? I just wanted to see if these were good cars. Read some issues with the auto 7 speed tranny and wanted to know how major it was. Ive had a speed3 and a speed6, both purchased with about 25k on them, so 50k is steep just based on my purchase history. The reason its a steal is because the guy selling it is simply and employee of a company. The car was owned by the company and the CEO has already purchased a new vehicle leaving it up to their employee to sell it, therefor he has no real interest in the sale. My company did the same thing when our owner would get company vehicles then move on. We basically just sold it as fast as possible to get them off the books. Of course there is the possibility that the car is complete wreck, but after checking it out and driving it, it feels very solid and looks practically new. So thats really all I have to go on. Plus I got a pretty sweet scooter, so if all else fails I'll just ride that thing until my lemon is paid off.
I still don't think you owned both Mazda3 & 6 to be honest. Perhaps someone you know bought a G37 and you want to justify it for some weird reason by saying it is worth way less than it is.
