Hi,

I am a new user and I'm really interested in buying a G37! I want to hopefully spend less than 18,000 or so, because I really would like to black it out and lower it and honestly make it look like many of the G37's I've seen on here. I'm new to buying one and would really appreciate any help on which model to buy (coupe, sedan), which year, and really just anything in regards to buying one so that I can black it out and lower it and make it look like many of the examples I've seen on here. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Blacked out is so "yesterday" ..... but there is a lot of information on this site about the models, the issues with earlier ones (aka inner timing gasket) so do some searches and reading and you will find the answers.

So let me get this straight because I am a little confused.... do you want to black it out and lower it and make it look like many of the G37's you have seen on here?

Murdering a car will never be yesterday....it is the coolest, most sinister way a car can look.....

By the way OP if you are going for that look you have to go coupe...thats all - now go buy it.

Oh boy. We're next guys. It happened to the 350z. It happened to the Civic. It happened to the G35... and now they're coming for us.

Haha, I'm sorry if I did anything to upset you guys. I'm just interested in purchasing a G37 after looking around and realizing that the value for them is a great deal for what I am purchasing compared to something like a 3 series BMW or something else. I've read great things and I'm interested in just learning more about what I'm getting into when buying a G37 that I would (possibly) like to lower and put some black rims on because I think that's a decent look.

Don't listen to them man they're only messing around with you bc you're new

I'd consider looking into a coupe for look you're aiming for. You can find one at a decent price acceptable mileage for your price range. Pre 2012 have a rare timing gasket issues which costs about 2 grand or so just to fix but as I said it's rare but it can happen unfortunately.

Shop around on different sites such as...

I'm sure you'll find the right car for the right price you just have to look and shop around. When you find one thay may interest you send us a link and we will give you our opinions on said car otherwise overall I truly believe Infinitis are extremely reliable cars and look and feel great to drive.

Best of luck and keep us posted with different cars that you find for our opinions on whether or not it's a good deal to get into or if it's overpriced or has any defaults.

Hello let's get this clear you can do whatever you want to your car and whatever makes you happy even if you might receive criticism but at the end of the day it is your car, depending on your budget will help you find which one you can get, shop around so if you don't need AWD I would suggest going for a RWD Sport which includes akebono bbk, sport suspension etc. I come from an 08 G37 S Coupe 6 speed and I loved it so I would recommend you get the 6 speed instead of automatic but it up to you. The 2011 and up have dogs in be bumper and are better than the prior front bumpers since the fogs were integrated in the headlights. Take your time and find a good deal, low mileage with maintenance records and you will be fine. Good luck on your search.

Okay, awesome. Those are great suggestions and I can do that! I appreciate your guy's help.

dogs in the bumper? Is that an aftermarket add on or OEM?

OK, I'll be serious .... I have a '08 Journey model with 90k miles and it has been very reliable. It's a 5 AT and while it's not the greatest it's been problem free. Only issue we had is the BT module failed so since my wife at the time used it a lot for work we had it replaced ($600). Had the oil presure checked and so far so good (no gasket issues). Here is the deal with the G, It's a good looking car, performance is OK (not blistering) and while the interior is getting a little tired it's a great mix of comfort, ride, performance, looks, luxury and reliability. All models have the same engine except for the IPL version, a few extra ponies squeezed out. The S models will have better brakes and a bit stiffer ride. If I had it all over to do again I would have tried to get an S model.

Personally, I wouldn't buy anything less than an S model unless you know you'll have a good wad of fundage to upgrade the suspension, brakes, wheels, diff, exhaust in the near future.
