I found a 2011 g37s sedan with 52k miles on it for 19,900$ a few months ago in Oakland. Wasn't CPO but is in great condition. I swear I've seen a decent amount of S sedans in CA? i might have a friend selling his to get a new Q. If I tememevr correctly , I think it's a 2010 sport model sedan, white, and stock. It's in the Bay Area tho

Edit: is the brakes / suspension in the S that much of a different drive than the just the journey package? I noticed the S and people just say it's a more "harsh" ride but I cant clmpare cause I never drove just a journey

That's cool the buyer of my coupe is taking his sweet old time , and there plenty of S Sedans in California but my bank idk how would they go with out of state vehicle and I would have to take my time to go out of town and everything to inspect it. I might keep my coupe until i find the right buyer the one right now has his loan approved and his co signer works all day and can't make time to sign witch I think is bs but my bank did confirmed that he was approved and ready to go with his Cosigner. And yes the S has viscious limited slip differential and the suspension on the S is a lot more stuff due to sports suspension since I Have an S coupe currently and the brakes are a different story. The journey is much much softer suspension but not as sporty. Another thing is the steering

Well guys I pulled the trigger, my coupe go sold Friday and I went to go see the sedan today, immaculate condition, 25k miles for 22,709 out the door! Thanks for all the opinions! Definitely not as fun as the 6 speed but super relaxing to drive and getting better mpgs! Color is nice as well

And also I was looking at Goodyear Assurance Touring I read on another thread by tire rack guy stated they were good for 700 but I'm debating on if should spend 700 on good tires since k want wheels in like 6mo to a year when I save and I seen some kumho ecsta asx with a 30k mile thread warranty for 478.00. Obviously the good year has a great 70k tread warranty but like I said if I'm getting tires when I get new wheels is there a point in spending another extra 300 on Goodyear?

Looks like the mod bug is trying to weasel into your life, good luck fighting it off
If you get 20s you'll want to lower it at the same time (or before), 20s at stock height looks a bit off.
As far as tires, I'd look for a more performance type tire over a high mileage version. For 17s you could get by w/ a mid range summer tire to get you by until you get your new wheels. Those high mileage tires sacrifice a lot in grip, sidewall stiffness, and wet performance.

Are your tires needing replacement already? My 2011 has 26k miles (I just bought it in april) and still has factory Bridgestone (sport model) and easily still has 70% tread left.

Why don't you buy a set of used tires for the 2 that actually need replacing? All 4 shouldn't need to be replaced at only 20k miles

Driving Miss Daisy? LOL.


Really though, since you bought it used it's more than likely the original owner replaced them some time ago.

I know and I believe there the stock ones Good Year RSA ones and there about done at 25k miles, wanting a better tire tho for sure ima see if I need all 4 maybe, I'll get them checked out and see what I'll do because I want to start modding as soon as I can, my front tires definitely need replacing not sure about the rear, and yes once I get springs most likely Eibach pro kit like I had on the coupe I will also buy SPC rear camber kit and bolts and get my 20's.
