Picked up a 2011 G37 Coupe

G37'ers

Always loved the sights and sounds of the G37 Coupe. Finally got the chance to purchase a 1-owner car. 2011, Journey Coupe, 49K miles, Sport wheel package, Navigation, MINT condition, entire life spent at Infiniti dealership for all maintenance. Couldn't resist.

Here's 3 pictures of it. I didn't pay anyone to do the PPI (pre-purchase inspection) but I did it myself. Told the dealership where I bought it from, that I wanted the car aligned and the ability to go under the car. Turns out the car looked detailed under the car too. Very clean.

Needless to say, I'm blown away. MSRP sticker was around $45,700. Got it for $22.6K., plus a 3-yr bumper to bumper ($1136). I'm a DIY person but this 3-yr offer was too good to pass up (started at $2150, down to $1550) and finally to $1136.

Love the SOUNDS of this coupe.

Negotiations were pressure-less. The car was on the lot for 1.5 months, the GM was sending it back to the auction and that's when I walked in. I wasn't planning on buying it, just wanted to test drive it. Had the sport wheel package and I felt the ride was firm enough. The GM opened his books and asked if I'd pay $1k over what he had into it? He said he got it for $21.6k. Knowing the range of car values went from $22.5-25.5 for a 2011, I realized how good a deal it was.

However the key thing was the car fax showing it had 17 MTC records, all done at Infiniti. That told me the car was well taken care of. So it was an offer I couldn't refuse.

So psyched hearing that thing fire up everytime. Best stock-exhaust sounds ever on a production car.

Btw, I sold a 2004 bmw to replace that car. The BMW was a great car but this car beats it in so many ways.

Not my Z4. Was being detailed for another customer.

The BMW 325 I sold is attached. That was a great find, but had to sell it to buy my daughter a Camry for college and then I recently sold my IS300 (attached) to get the G37.

Sad to see both of those cars go, but a smile comes on my face once I fire up the G37!

It did not have the sports package (see this link) so it did not have the sport brakes, suspension or seats.

It did however come with Sport wheels (19").

Any idea how to avoid the images from being rotated? Frustrating when that happens. Used to happen in the BMW forum too.

Nice find! I love that the newer G's come with fog lights in the lower bumper openings too. Enjoy your new ride!
