Yea, definitely a clean ride. I had offered a bit over my 15k budget, but couldn't work out an agreed upon price. Unfortunately the car had mods that I would just end up selling (Not my desired route of mods), otherwise I'm sure we could've come to an agreed upon price.
I actually have a motordyne CBE that arrived last week, officially collecting dust. Looking for the right car- hoping it comes soon!
Tbh, im suprised by how many cars have listed on this forum this past week. A total of 5, maybe 6? I've come across a good amount of 6MT owners contemplating selling this summer as well, both on the forum and on facebook. It seems with summer coming around, lots of people are looking to upgrade. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of cars popping up the coming few weeks as the weather improves

Biggest takeaways from the Carfax.
- Front end accident, not too bad, but the repair doesn’t look like the fit and finish I require.
- 2010, could have gallery gasket issues.
- That steering wheel could be indicative of how well the owner(s) treated the car.
- Lastly, and the biggest knock for me personally, 6 different owners. No chance each and everyone of them treated the car with care.

Yea I saw the steering wheel and bumper but I didn’t look at the car fax. I figured since it was local maybe you check it out and beat them down on the price but wow 6 owners is a lot and yea probably not all took great care of the car. There is one for sale local to me but it had gray interior and I’m all the way in NY so I didn’t bother to show it. I’ll post if I see any others

I went to check it out as soon as it was listed. There was no carfax listed at the time. Terrible experience. Salesman tried claiming the car had 6 owners because it was passed around in the same family. I asked for a print out and saw it was listed 5 times for sale at different dealerships across the country (Big time liar)
They tried blind-siding me with $2k in BS packages in the end, so I walked out (Yes, I attempted to buy a 6-owner vehicle. I only did so because I need a vehicle to travel 100 miles/day for a gig I start on Wednesday)
If I told you what the extra packages were for, you'd laugh. They're really bad people to work with best sums it up. Now I understand why used car salesmen have such bad rep.
There was actually another interested party that arrived after I did. He must've gotten spooked when they told him I didn't purchase the vehicle because it's still listed.
Oh, and I'm leaving A LOT of details on how the encounter/experience went with them. Just for confidentiality purposes, but it's much worse than what I wrote
@Rob- I didn't even notice the front bumper fitment being off. Good eye!

Hi @SwiftKit. I will be ready to sell my 2012 G37S Sedan 6MT soon. It's got 72k miles and I've owned it for around 5 years. I'm the 3rd owner and the owners have been in FL, TX, and SC (no evidence of it being outside of the South). I paid for a CarFax and you are welcome to review it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m9N...ew?usp=sharing
SOHO Motorsports has performed most of the maintenance and upgrades, and they actually have the car at the moment to clear the key light on the dash (they say the BCM needs to be reprogrammed). I expect to have it back next week.
As for maintenance and mods, I am working on a list. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Once I get it back from SOHO, I will take more photos for a proper listing. I saw your thread looking for one of these, so I thought I should get the details out there for you.

- X2Power AGM deep cycle battery
- Megan Strut Brace
- Whiteline Rear Differential Bushings
- BC Racing BR Coilovers
- Swift Springs
- SPL Camber Arms
- SPL Toe Bolts
- New OEM Strut Mounts
- New OEM Sport Lip and Spoiler

- Always full synthetic at factory intervals
- Recently had paint correction and ceramic coating professionally applied
- Recently had the mirrors and b-pillars professionally wrapped with 3M gloss black (not pictured)
Once I get it back from SOHO, I will take more photos for a proper listing. I saw your thread looking for one of these, so I thought I should get the details out there for you.

Giving this thread one last bump
Now open to a 7AT Sport Sedan
I can't see myself happy in any other car than a g37s sedan. I've considered other cars in neighboring price ranges but they all seem to be missing something.
I will search until 7/15 and if I can't find something I think I'll end my search. Will probably buy a normal economical car and will sell my Motordyne CBE/Art pipes that have been collecting dust. Maybe build savings up for a GTR
Hoping I can find something, so far most cars I've come across haven't been up to standard or the pricing has been off. Missed a few gems in my search, but can't catch em all.
Edit: Forgot to mention I'm willing to pay a premium for quick-sales, if you're on the fence about selling, message me and we'll see if we can work something out. Budget is $18k now

Hey Swft. This is Christian the guy who bought the white one in your area. Some changes happened in my life and I may have to put the car for sale soon. I did get many offers for the car but I figured I would give you first preference before I gave it to anyone else. The car is in the same condition I bought it and I put on a couple thousand miles on it so I believe it has 99K now. I searched for about two years to find a white on black with the 6-Speed and I thought I would never sell but when life hits you it give you no warning. You can message me if you like. Thanks for your time.

I just purchased a car out-of-state yesterday, otherwise I would have taken you up on the offer
Been feeling lazy about flying out and driving cross country, so i managed to find something in the region
Thanks for the help in the search, much appreciate
I finally picked one up yesterday, nearly got caught in a tornado and hail-storm
Thankfully made it in on piece
Thread closed, will be searching for an automatic for the old man now
Thanks to everyone in this thread, one year search comes to an end
