Hoping to be a g37 owner. Tips?

http://www.paautosales.com/2008_Infiniti_G37_Philadelphia_PA_258934702.veh to start, that's the g37 I'm interested in buying. Looks clean, I called and they said original owner was a car guy so he maintained it. Maybe just dealer bull-s? Anyway, how much mileage does everybody have? Any recommended maintenance on these cars? When should I expect to do oil, brakes, any belts? Thoughts on the mileage of it?

Thank you!!

Welcome to the site, glad you found us. Short on time but I'll take a look at that one tonight. Typical maintenance on these vehicles, nothing out of the ordinary TBH.

Thanks!! And that's just fine. Just looking for some tips/advice and what I should look out for with 86k miles. I get a fair amount of snow each year, maybe one event a year but I'd also like some tips on what kind of tires to get around these times.

That 08 coupe looks to be in decent shape. There's a timing cover gasket behind the main timing set that can fail in models prior to 2012 but it's one of the only items of real concern, the Clutch Slave Cylinder can be an issue. Just be sure to give it a good inspection and keep an eye out for any "Service Engine" lights in the dash and you can have the dealer run that VIN # to see it's service history.

The Sport package is a good one so that G is well equipped w/ the big brakes, better seats, limited slip differential etc.

As far as tires, might invest in winter set on 18" wheels (that will clear those big brakes) and save those 19" rims for best performing summer tires for the rest of the year.

G/L and hope that G or whatever G you find works out well.

Thanks for the tips man! That's stuff I'll keep out for. I was browsing around and seen stuff about that timing gasket. And I was thinking something like that for the wheels. It's great advice! Greatly appreciated!

Still looking

What did you find? I've had my 6mt Coupe for a few months now. Only thing i have noticed is the Sport seats are quite narrow. I'm only 5'9" 180#
