Just need a quick breakdown of any differences between the 08 and 09 coupe G37s manual model. Thanks.

 

Your going to get yelled at for not searching. anyway i believe the only notable difference in the manuals is the heated seat controls that look different.

 

Washi trim and they changed IP to Moon... something

 

^^ lol moonlight white I believe.


Also 09 comes with 7at

 

09 has magical self healing paint.

 

Oh, glad I haven't been yelled at yet. So if I were able to purchase with cash a 2008 G37s coupe with only 2500 miles and flawless history for 31k (5 grand below book value), I assume would be a better choice than financing a new 2009 because there aren't any significant changes?

 

Disregard. I lost the bid on it.

 

I'd go for the 09 for the paint upgrade alone.

 

Depends on a couple of factors. Are you wanting an AT or MT? Do you like to be able to detail your car? Do you plan on driving spirited/racing or laid-back? Is fuel economy important to you?

If you want an AT and plan on driving spirited, then get the 5AT 08. Better tranny (no issues) and is much better for racing.

If you want 6MT, than pick either. IMO I would go with the 08 due to the seat heater ***** being ugly as hell in the 09.

If you like to detail your car then get the 08 (buffers are not recommended for self-healing paint).

If fuel economy is important to you than get the 09 7AT.

To put it bluntly and honestly, the 09 is not really an upgrade, but more of an even trade for most of us.

 

I would get an 08 with low miles, simply for the cash savings. Only real benefit of the 09s is the paint.

 

2009 is an upgrade if you are getting an automatic. The new paint isnt anything amazing. You are still going to get rock chips and swirls. I would say if automatic, get a 2009. Manual, I would stick with an 2008.

 

Ehhhh that is very debatable. The 5at is a much better transmission if you are planning on getting more power. The 7at is better for gas mileage and that is about it. Still has alot of bugs.

 

i heard the 09 models have suicide doors...lol
and the metal is like that terminator robot, if you shoot it, it repairs itself instantly too.

 

^LOL, expected him to say that

 

My used 08 came with a free dead hooker in the trunk. There is even a diagram on my trunk lid showing you how to shove 2 of them in there. (assuming they are small asians)
