Haha, trust me, that is also a thought in the back of my mind as well..

 

I was looking on autotrader in Quebec and there is not a whole hell of alot to chose from,if you are located close enough to Ontario I would consider buying one hear and driving it back home, around the GTA these car's are a dime a dozen and as I stated before people are either unloading them because of the cost of gas or they buy new a new car every 4-5 years to "keep up with the Jones's".

2012 Infiniti G Sport...LEATHER..SUNROOF..LOW KMS - Milton $19,988 | autoTRADER.ca

or

2012 Infiniti G |Leather|Heated Seats|Bluetooth|Navi - Bolton $19,952 | autoTRADER.ca

or

2011 Infiniti G AWD, Sport Pkg! Paddle Shift & Rear Camera! - Mississauga $23,995 | autoTRADER.ca

Like I said there a dime a dozen around here and you get a weekend trip to Toronto and all of these have a clean record.
I can understand wanting a G but don't rush into it or you will hate it and have wasted your money, with these car's it's not just the body and mechanical portion that need's to work but also all the electronics.

Good luck with your search

 

Thanks man. Perhaps I'll look in Ottawa... Mississauga is a ways away from me..

What do you think of this one? really low KM's for a 2009 (I know, the ****ty bumper but wtv). 2009 Infiniti G Luxury/Sport - Terrebonne $13,922 | autoTRADER.ca

The front grill looks like it has some damage though I think..

 

It seems like a great deal, I would inquire and see if you can get the car proof, and if you go have a look at it, have them lift it up and look under it for rust, I would assume that you guy's salt the crap out of your road's like we do here.

 

Absolutely, it's salt city.

Rust is a big concern however from all the G's I've checked in person, very impressed how little rust there have been, on any of em. Underneath usually looks immaculate. They must use good quality metals for this car and/or coat is really well from factory.

Yeah I sent an email.. something tells me the car has something up with it, for such low miles @ that price...

We shall see.

 

Haha, it's a sport without a sport bumper!!! Crazy!!!! Or maybe the 09's were different. IDK?

 

That's the sport bumper for the 09.

 

Yeah, I looked up the 09's after I made the post. Personally, I like this Canadian G and would be the one to get. But, it aint $7000.2013 Infiniti G Sport LOCAL CAR - Vancouver $37,900 | autoTRADER.ca

 

Welp. I'll probably get killed for this, but...

I test drove a 2010 G37x back to back to back and back again VS a 2013 Buick Verano Turbo (same 2.0T engine in the ATS but slightly detuned).

Fell in love with the Buick, shockingly.

Outright brute strength the G37x wins, but it doesn't feel at all refined like the Buick. Buick has better sound system, seats, interior I personally prefer, more options, basically everything, including blindspot monitor to heated steering wheel, sound system is better, etc. The Buick also has more than enough power (6.2 0-60) but makes 260lb-ft at just 2,000RPM so it feels more potent than the G around in normal traffic with less effort, less weight to lug around also. G feels like an obviously older car after getting in and driving both several times back to back. Thing is too, this engine is capable of wayyy more power (300hp+ 300lb-ft+) with only a tune of the ECU. Before I was looking at the G37, I looked (and almost bought) a 2013 ATS turbo. So this is sort of plan B, same engine, FWD, and Buick's own set of refinements which frankly is incredible. Cabin is so smooth and quiet, feels expensive. Another cool thing is there's only 16 total Turbo Verano's in all of Canada on autotrader for sale, and only (1) other one within a 250KM distance of me, so a unique car...

In the end, I bought the Buick, which had less miles and is actually cheaper than the G... couldn't pass it up.

Thanks to everyone who helped me!!

 

^^Should of test driven the g37S (sedan or coupe). Totally different car from the x in terms of handling.

 

There was a 2010 G37S sedan that sold 5 minutes before I called..

At dealer.. only 96,000km, looked mint, for $9995!

 

As long as there is no frame damage and the engine is good then I don't see a problem! You should get it up on a lift though!

 

Frame damage isn't a death sentence. It all depends on how much. I've bought cars before that had frame damage and it was an easy fix. But I've seen friends who bought frame damaged cars and were in a world of hurt.
Also, just for reference, I got t-boned and my side airbags blew, damage was estimated at 12k, almost totalled. Aside from painting, I found doors cheap 600$ for 2, fender for 150, curtain airbag for 100, seat bag for 150, airbag sensor 30$ and had the seat stitched up for 90 with the bag installed. Then 40$ for resetting the airbag module. Airbags done, The rest is paint and body work. Moral of the story, don't be too thrown off by the insurance's estimates. They tend to run high if you can do some minor work yourself and shop around.
