Ob g37 ftw

It's official, I am now a G37S owner!


When I totaled my OB G35, I was researching cars for months. My main options were 370Z, G37, Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger. Eventually, I narrowed it down to a white G37. However, my inner OBeast won and I am back on the road in stealth mode!

The car was a returned lease with 39k miles. It wasn't as clean as I wanted it to be. Scuff marks, scratches, a few small dings, repainted front bumper, and obvious wear and tear... but I broke down and got it. Paid around $29k for it, $31k OTD. Fully loaded. Not the best deal, but here in the bay, the G37s are overpriced. I swear it's hard to find a clean G for sale these days...

Anyway, I finally got the car I wanted so I'm juiced! You'll see me in the forums more and I promise to do my research before I make noob posts.

Damn! $29K for an 08 with 39K miles? That's not even close to being a good deal. Congrats though! As long as you're satisfied and happy with it, then who cares what everyone else thinks. Oh...Welcome Aboard!

Thanks!

@ Doggy - you know what i mean. lol i plan to slap on an intake very soon, then eventually coilovers and sway bars. i like the sound of the stock exhaust, but may be tempted to upgrade later.

@ JJsBusaRox - true, but cars out here in norcal are ridiculously priced. sucks...

Congrats! I recommend you start with the coilovers and sways. Get rid of that 4x4 look and give it a much better ride. Intake later. =) I'm also in NorCal, down here in Fairfield. If you need any help with anything let me know, I'm a vehicle mechanic in the U.S Air Force. =) Enjoy!

+1 for the exhaust upgrade,. I actual do not like the stock sound anymore..:/

Congrats on the car, Definlty the right one. I looked at the Z and Mustang first also. The interior alone IMO is worth it.. The Boss Mustang( One I looked at was 40k) Z was also near 40k. Drop it and get exhaust+intake+ tune and call it a day..
