Noob alert

First post to what looks like a great place for G37 discussions. I'm in the market for a used G37 coupe or sedan (have not quite decided which), but am headed to my local Nissan dealership to test an '08 G37S coupe that they want $24K for. Is this a decent deal? KBB says so, but I'd love to know owners opinions. Anything to look out for in the 08's?

Any help appreciated.

That would be a decent price for an 08 coupe 6MT with Nav and around 25k miles. In my opinion.

When I buy a used car, I wait for a deal that shows up at or lower than the KBB trade in value in GOOD condition. No accidents or any issues.

Sorry man, I posted much too early with no coffee.


51K and it looks to be in pristine condition.

Thanks for the reply. It's had just one owner and there's a carfax available that I'll use if I decide to buy after the test drive today.

Just remember, carfax just gives you a list of reported accidents. Inspect the body for evidence that it hasn't been in one.

exactly look at the door jam, the trunk, under the hood, even the sunroof for any type of overspray or gaps in between the panel... take your time and go thru it.... and good luck your gonna love it

Well after tossing around the idea of the coupe vs sedan, I chose a sedan. Got a good deal for a certified 2008 Liquid Metal G35 with under 20k. I ****ing love this car and am a very happy camper.

Excuse the quick pic but it's not like you guys haven't seen one

Thanks all for the support, although I guess I need to mosey to the G35 forums..

Thanks! Been awhile since I've modded my cars. Used to mod my Hondas and a couple of BMW's, but now I have the itch!
