First of all, I love my G37. It's a great vehicle but I am reaching a verdict as my mileage keeps going up and up.

I've had my 2012 G37x Coupe for less than a year now, and have reached almost 70,000 miles. I purchased the car for around $24,000 after taxes, fees, all the BS with $15,000 down and owe about $7500 on the car now. I've invested less than $3,000 in modifications and maintenance. The car is in overall good to "like" new condition. Garage kept, washed weekly, and up to date on all maintenance. A couple of small surface scratches exist that were original from the previous owner. What should I do? Trade it in? Pay it off and keep it? What potential problematic issues do I have at 100K + Miles? I don't know of any other reliable, luxury, AWD vehicles I can buy under $20,000.

 

Honestly, I'd say keep it and pay it off. Your car appears to be properly maintained and has not given you any issues thus far. Believe it or not, most Japanese cars do pretty well over 100k miles (as long as they are taken care of). These cars are no exception. My 09 M35x was still alive and kicking when I got rid of it.

 

I say pay it off and keep it - prob gonna do that myself later this year or early next.

 

This. There are no other reliable, fast, luxurious sports cars under $20 000. The only thing I can possibly think of is a Hyundai Genesis Coupe, it has a lot of features, but its not exactly luxurious, and definitely isn't AWD. I came from a BMW 335i, and have found the G37S to be the perfect combination of speed, handling, luxury and RELIABILITY. The reason I put that word in capitals is because the 335i was known for its various problems, for example: oil leaks, which one alone, can cost up to $1200. I had three different oil leaks happen to me in 9 months, with the prices being $330, $1200, $900 for them. This is indie shop prices, not dealer prices. I would just pay it off man. Keep the G. I can tell you right now, it is amazing being able to drive my fast, luxurious, sports car without worrying about any indication for maintenance popping.

 

Gotta agree with everyone else here. Pay it off, keep the G, and start saving the money that you would normally use on a monthly basis for car payments. Not having debt/a monthly payment will be such a relief and you'll have a nice stash waiting for you in the future should you ever need it.

 

I would say keep it at least another year or so.There are new releases this year and next that you will be able to chose from - some of which will be CPO for a good deal.
If you are primarily concerned about whether your G is reliable as the miles increase.. well it is so no worries there.

 

Keep it for sure

 

I say keep it man. I drove my car on a 100+ mile rigorous cruise at 70-100mph for almost an hour straight and it didn't give me a single second thought about driving it to work the next day. I had no problem staying ahead of M3's and GTR's through it all. I commend my tires for a lot of it but this is a very well rounded car. I love it.

 

I'll say pay it off and keep it! I remember when I paid mine because after that I've been saving. If I wanted, I could pay for another one cash with what I've saved ever since. The car has about 175k miles and I've only done regular maintenance.

 

Looks like I will be keeping it. Plus it turns heads and chicks love it. I put a couple car lengths on a 2016 BMW 435I M sport the other day, it kind of sealed the deal for me. The G coupe seems to hold its resale value too.

 

Yeah even g35 coupes with a ton of miles and average or less shape still pull 7-10k, I think ours will level out at about 10k or so for the next several years.
