Wife's "New" Toy Comes Home ...

It has been a month or so and we have been spending virtually every free moment looking for another car for my wife. The SLK350 is just too small and has few "gidgets & gadgets" ... she wants back into a "G". Instead of an '08 G35S sedan this time, it's an '09 G37S coupe. I could not imagine it was sooooo hard to find this car in a worth-buying condition. Everything we looked at was either sprayed, wrecked, trashed or was not what we were looking for (Sport, automatic & navigation with Graphite interior). Even cars at the Infiniti dealerships were not up to par.

Success .... ! We had to go to Jacksonville, FL for it, but it gave me a chance to use my "new" trailer. Here she is coming home ... Sport package, Obsidian (black) on Graphite (black), 7-speed automatic, navigation, factory spoiler (no deck-mounted 3rd brake light) & illuminated kick plates. This thing has factory paint from bumper cover to bumper cover, perfect interior, mint wheels (not a single scuff) and original tires with 28k miles. Actually, the tires gotta go ... we are mounting Michelin's new Super Sports on it this week.

Very nice indeed. 28K for an '09 is pretty low miles too. Did you get a good deal?

Looking forward to some updates on those michelin tires (they're on my list eventually).

Question about your tie down locations; Is securing the car by the wheels a safe way to do so? I've never towed a car before, but have towed the bike a few times. Usually secured by several hard parts. Was the car left in neutral with the e brake set?

Wish my G37S I picked up was in such great condition. Although mine had only 12K miles...the dude that had it prior had 10'' finger nails because every aluminum trim in the car was scratch to the T and the wheels were all curb rashed. Dealer eventually replaced everything to new minus the wheels.

GREAT FIND, especially in that condition!!

<------- Uh... Excuse me??? I'm looking right at Black Betty as I type and she's not amused.



But seriously, congrats. I only clicked this thread because I was grossly misled by the title and wanted to see pics of the wife and "toy". Sadly, it was not what I was expecting.
