Well I got about 3 dealers looking for my G. 2010 graphite shadow sedan. Down the road I will be purchasing 19" coupe wheels. I got a loan for $25k but have great payments if I buy around 23k. I'm trading my 06 4runner and hopefully will make $500 to $1000 positive equity. Hoping to buy coupe wheels with this and not have to put it on loan. Now, I'm holding out for 2010 but no luck so far. I'm fine with 2009 except I don't like washimi aluminum look and the 2010 front bumper looks more sporty to me. I could deal with 09 bumper but I do not like the washimi.

I just like 2010 interior v 09. Any thoughts guys? Surely a nice 2010 would be in my price range right? I've looked st some beat up ones, so hopefully I can get my hands on a good one

 

Welcome, Im also "thinking" about trading in my 04 4Runner for a G, lol
Id like to keep the 4Runner but I just don't go 4heeling much anymore.
check out OffLeaseOnly.com they have some good deals, but they are in Florida.
Good luck finding your new ride

 

The 2010 will also have some warranty left, always best when buying used to have some safety net in case you find any issues that a warranty will cover. You can always vinyl wrap the aluminum pieces so that shouldn't be a deal breaker. I'd try to be a bit more flexible w/ your exterior color, should be much easier to find a nice clean G if you have more paint options.
I'd also look for an S model first, they have a lot more "goodies", and the big brakes alone are worth the added coin.

 

Hahah blnewt, I knew the "S" model would come up! Still haven't test drive it. One dealer said yea I got one come on in and drive it, but it wasn't a sport.

What would be the pros and cons with having a S with the coupe wheels? Rough ride? Would the coupe wheels fit with the big brakes?

Regarding color.. I've always liked black, but now feel like it won't show off the lines as well as other lighter colors. Not interested in smoky quartz. The wife has 08 G35 in blue slate.

Also I'll look into this vinyl wrap situation

 

Also my local dealer had 2010 black Base model $21,995 with 21,500 miles.... But no goodies!!!!

 

I'm a bit biased when it comes to black Gs lol. The coupe wheels w/ the thinner sidewalls will ride a bit rougher but not overly so, and yes, they will clear the big brakes
