Q60 would be an awesome car to own but It costs too much and I would like to be able to do heavy modding on my G37s also.

The best year is my 2015 version. Still comes with the Manual Transmission, has bluetooth audio from factory, and no DAS!

Oh, you can Recirc the cabin air w/o having the A/C on. I know on the G35, it was impossible to do this. lol Not sure if the older G37 could do this either.

========

Basically, it's a drivers car. No stupid tech pressing on the brakes for you, correcting the steering for you, parking for you, turning on the A/C on at full blast for you when you only need it at the lowest fan setting.

What's next? Maybe Infiniti will have a upgrade that attaches to your ***** where the car can please you for you. lol

You're not going to find a 2015 for less than $18K unless it's a salvage title.

Welcome to the site! Any coupe after 2011 would be a good choice, the 2012 to current has the metal based timing gasket, the pre 2012 is an inferior paper gasket and can cost upwards of $2k to repair. The LSD is a limited slip rear differential, this will apply torque to both drive wheels rather than just one on a open differential, this is only available on the Sport pkg.

Anything 2011 and up is best, BUT any year G37 is bulletproof. There's a 2009 with over 400k miles on it already. The paper gasket issue is very very rare, and has only happened to a handful of people. The model you want goes with what you are looking for in the car. The packages are detailed on the infiniti website. And LSD only came on the manuals as far as I know. All the autos are open diff. Pros--you don't do one wheel peels. Cons--I don't think I need to explain.

Close, rwd S model 7AT gets LSD as well, awd S model gets no LSD, whether coupe or sedan. Base/journey gets you open diffs, S gets you LSD, X gets you open diffs with all wheel drive.

What is DAS?

I am in the market also in the market for a 6MT coupe, but in the $20k - $23K price range. What would be the best in that price range? Any chance of getting a Q60 (not salvage/rebuilt) in that price range?
