Hi purchasing a g37 and I noticed this gap(b/w hood and bumper above the mt fuji logo)... idk if its normal or what... the car has a clean carfax but I don't trust it.

here are the pics:

 

That doesn't look right, can you lift the hood up.

 

If it's just the rubber hood seal it might need to be replaced, but I'd surely look under the hood to see what caused that.

 

Yeah thing is i live all the way in orlando so im driving down there to go check out the car... it definitely is something fishy, anything u guys want me to look for in general?

 

Definitely check out that rubber seal. Look for alignment of plastic panels and what not. When I was shopping for my G, I came across one that has so many panels and seals within the engine bay that didn't line up at all. Definitely seemed like an accident or many many repairs.

Other than that, make sure the tires are in great condition, check for any major body damage or try to see if anything has been resprayed. Ensure the interior has no rips or tears.

Take it for a drive and make sure you don't hear anything out of the ordinary.

 

Surely that is the rubber hood seal that should be able to be easily realigned and not the shape of the hood.

 

The lower bumper is all gouged to hell... coincidence?

I bet you the previous owner repeatedly ran the front end over a curb that was too high, and just never cared.

 

Probably a missing rubber seal.

 

that car is at Offlease?? i would run a autocheck... carfax is not accurate, 99% of their cars have had a previous accident. even though carfax may not show it.

 

Used 2011 Infiniti G37 Sedan for sale in Florida

carfax shows no accidents but they state it was in a previous accident, that can also be caused by people pulling up way to into a parking spot.
cant tell but might be missing the weather strip that goes in between

 

hmm ill stay away.. autocheck report here.

 

Stay away..looks like an OffLeaseOnly special...thousands under hint **previous accident**

I looked at them also, before buying mine from the Boca CarMax...try there!

 

The grill to bumper looks to have some "gappage" as well. I'd pass, brother.

 

90% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

 

I agree, went there once, never again. Great prices but it seems every car has a secret behind it.
