No worries. Just thought I would point you in the right direction if you wanted to comment on that thread.

 

[QUOTE=AbeG37vq;4099946]Hello everyone. I was just wondering if there are any people out there who has a G37 with high miles, say over 100K miles. How is the G37 holding up? What are the issues we should be keeping an eye on as the mileage keep racking up? Thanks.[/

This car has handled this mileage very well, no engine or major component replacement or disruptions. However this car was EXTREMELY well taken care of through its entire life, with very regular servicing and cleaning. The only problem i have had with this car, is with the headlights, the headlights on my car are most likely not anywhere near DOT legal for light output or anywhere near being bright enough to drive safely at night. I have replaced them with LED bulbs and they still were very dim, thankfully i have replacement OEM headlights coming soon. But other than the headlights, there has been no issues at all through the 269k miles and 11 years.

 

I recently acquired a 2009 G37x with 168,500 miles, all stock and the previous owner was a woman who had every service record from a infiniti dealership logged in the manual. Anyway, the car runs smooth, could never tell it had that many miles on it. Engine and transmission feel to me almost brand new probably because it was well maintained.

 

Regular maintenance is key. Good find on a car with all the documentation.

 

Mine too so I put a copper coupling on it now it will never break

 

[QUOTE=Gchildress11;4275607]Expect to need to have new control arms/ball joints installed before too long. I had a coupe with over 250k miles on it and I was about to do that then it got totaled, so I can't really go much more into detail on that as I never got to make that upgrade.
On the other hand, I did have to replace other things. Water pump gave out just over 200k, needed a new front drive shaft around 220-230k, new door lock motor around 210k....
It was also very well maintained. I got it from my uncle with 200k already on the odometer. He always took it to the dealer for services. Only thing I would ding him on is he aparently never waxed it and always took it through the drive thru car washes with the brushes that destroy everyone's clearcoat.... By the time I got the car it basically had 0-5% of the clearcoat left. Front bumper was down to bare paint.
Needless to say when I got my sedan, with it having nearly perfect paint, I put a ceramic coating on the car to protect it. Literally looks like a new car when it's clean.

Sorry for rambling, but there's my input.

 

Shoot Boomer, coming from the German car world, that would be one low need german car.
All of my german cars have pretty much needed all the suspension rebuilt by that point, some multiple times, steering racks, plenty of engine sensors, timing belts, water pumps, alternators etc.
I added up the receipts for our S6 once that was at 155k and I stopped at $12k in it's last few years until it got totaled, there were plenty more receipts in the pile.

 

haha oh trust me, I do realize how minimal these fixes are in comparison to your German car example. I was looking at an A6 after my coupe was totaled before I found my sedan. S6 didn’t even have 90k and it was already getting the timing chains and guides redone. Would have been a great car when it was operational, but I ended up sticking with infiniti knowing it was the vastly more reliable car and was 95% just as fun. Those 3.0t engines from Audi sure do sound good though.

 

Until a few weeks ago, I owned two G's. Just sold my 2003 G35 6MT Sedan with 151,000 on the odo. I was surprised that it sold in the first day it was listed. The only failure of note during the 15 years I owned it was the radiator blew out at $140K miles. Best car I ever owned. Original clutch still going strong too.

I plan to keep my 2013 G37 6MT Sedan forever. Only 41K miles and still looks nearly like new and drives like new. Moonlight White is so much better looking than the dull white BMW typically uses. So glad I bought this car before the Q series came out and while a stick was still available!

 

2010 7AT Sedan with 145K miles. Issues below:

- Radiator fan module needed replacing ($60, easy to replace)
- One of the idler pulley came off the car due to bad bearing @ around 100K
- Original starter die @ around 130K
- Coolant leaks in the usual places (heater hose coupler, small hose behind the engine block)

Other than that, everything works quite well still, nothing broken at the moment. Impressed with the A/C, never had it serviced and still works like new.

 

What were the symptoms of the starter going bad?
The AC on my coupe still worked fine with over 250k miles, but the heat suckedddddd...

 

If your battery is in good shape and your car still starts slow, probably a good idea to replace the starter. Starter is not something you wanna squeeze out as much life as possible.

 

Exactly eight years and 35,000 miles - I don't belong here, do I........??

 

You could potentially have some of the issues high mileage cars have just due to the fact that your car sits for a lot of the time. If you go out and run it every day, or even just every few days, you'll avoid at least some of those issues.

Let us know what issues you've had in your eight years of ownership with low miles. Would be interesting to see what differences there are with the fixes the car has needed.

 

It's not that it sits so much, because I get out pretty much every day, but most of my driving is the around town, start and stop kind.

As far as problems go: an occasional false readout from the tire pressure monitoring system, and a couple of years ago, I got a check engine light. Oddly enough, a transmission re-flash solved that one, and that's it - no other problems in eight years..
