Looking to buy a G37S coupe

Figured I’d come on here for guidance, I’m selling my G35 sedan in a couple months (240k miles) and am looking for a G37S coupe, preferrably automatic between $10-13k if possible. Any advice current owners can give? What should I focus on when looking at cars? What should I ask the seller? (Obviously I should ask for service records). This will be my second car, the G35 has been dope these last three years but it’s time to upgrade to something newer, and since it’s been so reliable and fun other than some small issues I figured it would be best to stick with a G.

Think 2012 /13 got the bugs worked out.

I know i"m not gonna say this right but there was an issue with a leaky transmission seal. I'm sure someone will straighten me out. I think it was fixed in 2012. They stopped calling it a G37 in 2014 but basically the same thing until the redesign.

Is this a common issue on models before 2012? From what I see there’s a few things that got updated in the 2012+ models like the galley gasket issue. Only issue for me is a lot of 2012 and up Gs are overpriced at dealers that I’ve seen, going for almost $20k sometimes

I believe only a subset of 2012s after some build date may have the updated gasket. However, the newer models still come across this issue because the hardware Nissan used is junk.

I recommend looking for a car with a clean history of maintenance and lower mileage.
