Okay I'm looking at this g37 it 6speed and has 180k miles on it. What should I look and be worry about when checking out the car.

 

That's a good bit of miles. Make sure it's priced accordingly. What year is it? Also, where did it spend most of its life? I'd look for corrosion underneath.

 

What you should worry about are high repair bills on a vehicle with that kind of mileage.

Why do you think the previous owner got rid of it?

Have a thorough vehicle inspection done by an Infiniti dealer and use any discovered deficiencies as leverage to lower the price.

Does the vehicle still have the original:

Water pump
Starter
Alternator
Clutch and flywheel

Check the tires, brakes, belts, hoses, shocks and suspension, catalytic converter and the entire emission system.
Perhaps I've missed a few items so be sure you have a good reserve fund for any unexpected surprises.

Good luck

At that mileage, literally anything could happen to a car, especially if you don't know the history.

I would only buy a car at that mileage if I knew the history of the car, including its maintenance and service history. If you are looking at cars with that many miles to make the G more "affordable", I'd recommend against it. In the long run you will lose.

Lets say you can get the car with 180k miles for a monthly payment that is $100/month less than a car that has significantly less miles. The first time you need a major repair (which is very likely at 180k, likely multiple major repairs), you have negated that perceived savings.

I would say it's not too bad of a buy if you were going to do all work yourself, were extremely mechanically inclined, and were going to get the car for a steal. But, since you are asking a bunch of strangers for advice on what to look for when buying a used car, I am going to advise you to steer away from a car with this many miles.

 

I do work on my own cars. But thanks guess I'll stay away from that one.

 

What is is priced at? Just curious.

 

How does a G37 get that many miles so fast?

 

It's a fast car

 

He owes 12g with the bank. And he say he work a hour away going everyday that why.

 

In very good condition a 08 g37 with 180k miles is kbb worth a 8.8k

 

Do you think the water pump, alternator, and starter would need replacing in that time? It seems like folks barely mentioned these items on the forums.

 

How many forum members have a 7 year old G37 with 180k miles?

I think the point here is that at 180k, anything can break.

If you're a mechanic (even just in spirit, not by occupation) and you can get the car for a steal, maybe it's worth it. If however, this would be your only vehicle, and you'd rely on a mechanic for all repairs...I'd move along to a different car.

 

This is what should have been stated rather than asking if various components with no service interval and minimally discussed failure rates have been replaced.
