2008 G37S 6MT Sport Coupe - Athens Blue
 
I bought this car (sight unseen) with under 40,000 miles on it in April 2017 from a dealership in Florida -- and it has been a gem. Truly, it is my favorite car I’ve ever owned, and I’ve treated it accordingly.

(I’m glad to have been on this forum since day one, as I’ve gotten useful wisdom from a bunch of you guys!)

I’ve consistently used premium gasoline and Royal Purple oil.

Performance upgrades include:

- South Bend Stage 2 Clutch & Flywheel

- RJM Performance Clutch Pedal Assembly

- RJM Tilton Gen2 HD Clutch Master Cylinder

It’s currently outfitted with Goodyear Potenza Ultra High Performance tires. They’re a year old and have under 9000 miles on them. Battery and starter motor are under a year old.

Includes 2 keys and a fitted cover.

~~

The pictures below are (obviously) from a detailer’s shop. I thought they looked a little too idyllic, so I had them add the last three, which show that the leather seats are probably the worst thing about this car currently. Also, I applied “Sticky Dash Fix” a couple of years ago. I’m not very good with a paintbrush, it turns out, and I got a good bit of the stuff on the cloth on the pillars adjacent to the dash. Also, the dash itself has cracks, warped corners, and a couple of chips.

The clear coat on the paint had begun to fail, especially on the tops of the doors and on the roof. There’s a scrape on the driver’s side front panel between the wheel and the headlight. A recent inspection report indicates that the struts that hold up the hood are worn out, and that some of the brake fluid is oxidized.

Having said all of that, the motor and everything else under the hood should be in top shape. The car has been remarkably reliable for me. Better still, its handling and performance both scratch an itch like no other car I’ve owned or driven.

Enjoy!

Additional Info
 
I wanted to share some of the additional information and images that I was able to share with the above individual.

VIN is JNKCV64E18M105964

Below are three pictures of the driver side dash, getting progressively closer. The fourth is a pic of the passenger side, which isn't bad.
Frankly, I applied that stuff because the sticky dash issue was creating a really unsafe level of glare. The sticky-dash-fix stuff certainly helped that -- though I ended up getting a cloth dash cover after all was said and done...

I tried to point out as many of the flaws as I could in my write-up because I love this car and I really don't want anybody to be disappointed with the purchase in any way. I'm happy to answer anything you have to ask.

Also, here's a quick video I made to get a sense of the flaws I discuss. (I don't know why it's sideways on some viewers and not on others...)
