New g37 owner questions!
I've looked pretty thoroughly for the answers to these questions im about to ask, cant find many answers.
I've been looking at g37's for a while now and got approved a loan at my bank, and im going to look at a few tomorrow and possibly buy one! I have my eye on a '12 g37S with 52k miles. My questions are as follow:
1) is there anything i should replace around this mileage? Like do a full flush, change spark plugs, etc...
2) Any problems i should take note of that generally happen to these models around this mileage? (52k)
3) Anything I should do to put it in tip top shape? (besides mods of course) just to get it in best running condition.
Note: Im not sure what condition the vehicle is in, it was a 1 owner car and it was a lease vehicle. I dont trust how other people treat things so im just being cautious! Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the site~
At 52k miles I'd inspect the brake pads and replace if needed, do a complete brake fluid flush w/ synthetic DOT 4 fluid.
Spark plugs should be OK up to 100k miles but many replace them around 75k, should be good for now.
I'd change the oil/filter w/ full synthetic 5-30 and I use the larger Infiniti V8 filters, the V6 filters are just bigger than a thimble. Reference a 2012 Infiniti M56 for correct part #.
If it's a Auto trans it's up to you about the fluid, I just changed mine myself at 72k miles for the first time. Some do it as early as 30k, some at 100k, and some never do it. At the minimum a drain & fill wouldn't hurt. Here's the DIY for reference

I'd also look into a rear differential fluid change, power filter fluid change, clutch fluid (if applicable), and possibly a coolant flush.
Some of these may have been done, and if they've been done at an Infiniti dealer they should be able to look it up w/ your VIN #.
Nice to be looking at the S package, it's worth the extra cost.
G/L and let us know how it goes.
