Nice car! I actually see the lack of a sunroof as an asset. I hardly ever use mine, and there's always the worry that one of the drain tubes is going to spring a leak.
I realize you can't stream via Bluetooth, but can you still plug an iPod/iPhone into the USB port in the center console storage area and stream that way?

Tried the USB to stream from my iPhone yesterday and while it did charge it and it showed "iPod connected" on the screen, I got no sound. Then did some quick reading online and noticed most people not being able to stream from phone. I'll dig a bit deeper into it in the coming days to see if I need to change some settings or what it could be. But from what I read, I think I might be SOL. Definitely not working like in my daughter's 2011 G37. Hers has navi, though, so that's a different ballgame. We'll see...

I just don’t seem to be able to keep myself off these things. Gave the 11 to my daughter for Christmas and then sold her 07 a couple of weeks ago. And now this thing appeared on my driveway today. 
It’s a one owner 2011 G37x w/155K miles and seems to be in pretty good shape. Just a few minor dings here and there, but runs and drives awesome! Good maintenance history, too. Looked at it last week and made a pretty lowball offer. It took a few days for the guy to accept it and and finally last night he came back and accepted it. So, time to put your money where your mouth is, I guess.
It’s kind of bare bones car since there’s no sunroof, no memory seats and no navi. No navi of course means no streaming music, at least not easily, but oh well... I’ll probably drive for a while and then decide what I’m going to do with it. Guess I’ve really fallen in love with these things since buying the 07 in late 2019.

I'm a sucker for good deals when I see them and to me <5K for that was a good deal. My daughter drives the 2011, so I didn't get rid of it. Now I just have two of them. Well..., daughter lives five hours away, but still. The car is in my name.
BTW, just noticed a typo in the post: the latest one is 2010, not 2011. Post fixed.

On a serious note, I am jealous of those that live in a warm climate and are able to pick up a nice older car with no rust.

And I hear you on the rust thing. I lived first 30 years of my life in such area/country. Love doing some enthusiastic driving on snow, but otherwise I hate it. I actually learned to drive on ice on the lake in front of our summer house.

Haha! No issues when the ice is about 2 feet thick. There was a guy who plowed a track on ice and people were driving there. But that was back in the day when winters were proper and things were much simpler than today. My dad let me drive by myself first there on ice when I was about 7 or 8 years old and been hooked on driving ever since, ice or not.
