my bro just bought his g35 coupe 6mt w/nav about 3 months ago. it has about 3600 miles and he is getting rid of it.

sticker was around 37k-38k. he owes about 24k-25k. He said he will give me the car if i take over his payments + about 5k. should i do it? its not like im buying a used car know what i mean.

here are a couple of pics




how much do u think i can get for my tsx?

thanks guys!

 

It's the worst time to sell an '04 with the '05's hitting... but you have enough mods that you might be able to hit some kid with money over the head... take it to some import show with a FS sign?

Keep in mind that the insurance on a 2-door will go up for you, especially if you're single.

 

I would do it. Sounds like a good deal to me. Why is he selling anyway?

As for price - www.kbb.com

23-4 grand w/o nav maybe?

Edit - just saw your list of mods, you can get much more than 24 grand.

 

he bought a 2004 Audi S4 this weekend and needs to unload the G35.

 

not too worried about insurance rates. ive been with allstate for 10 years and have had one claim. i got a quote for a 350z back in the days and it was $50 more per 6 months and my rates are already low...especially for a 26y/o

 

I think you should.

Judging from the list of mods, I'm sure the G35 will please you more than the TSX.

 

I dont get it, why not just buy the s4 instead of the g35? Anyways, i would do it, the g35 c is my next car!(whenever that is )

 

he was happy when he got the G, then i was thinking of trading my tsx in for the S4. When i showed him the car, he got hooked and beat me to it!

 

IMO id rather have the s4 than the g35 C.. if i were to switch from the tsx..

interior from the tsx to g35 is downgrading IMO.. exterior in some peoples eyes is upgrading.. even though i think a dressed up tsx looks better.. good luck

 

Hold off on it. It sounds like you might be tempted to jump at another opportunity and I'm sure there will be plenty of new cars coming out that you may want. Why not hold off and just wait to get something your brother hasn't already had?

 

if you want to upgrade you speed...yes i would...

but if its going to be u're everyday cruser....i would keep the tsx...but then..thats just me...

its just that..i was GREATLY dissapointed in the G35's interior....

 

i have always wanted the g35 coupe. i almost bought one in 2003 when they first came out. the reason i didnt buy it was the car i had before the tsx was leased and the lease wasnt up yet. when it was time to get rid of that car, i went to test drive the g35 again and loved it, but couldnt justify spending 37k on a car considering i was about to close on my new house.

now things have changed and i got a promotion and have some extra $$ laying around. and its a perfect opportunity to get one for a decent price.

 

yes i want to upgrade my speed. and its going to be my everyday car, but i have a 5 minute commute to work so im not worried. i also have a g35x that my fiance drives (we work at the same place but in different bldgs).

im still undecided on what i want to do.

thanks guys for your help!

 

Just be ready for the 05 G 6MT owners (including sedan) to point out that your down 18HP from their car - oh and a better interior too.

 

I say you should go for it, if you have factored in the impact that the 05s are going to make on your TSX resale value. It seems like the G35 has been something that you have been wanting for a while and if you are in a financial position you should do it.

I would consider returning your TSX to stock and piecing out your mods rather than selling it with the mods--it's my understanding that you can get more $$ back that way.

 

that doesnt bother me...a few little mods and ill be ok. the interior is ok. i like the older interior better

 

If you're taking over his payments.... why would you need to pay him an extra $5k? Isn't this your brother we're talking about? Am I the only one who thinks this is weird?

 

no he could sell the g35 for like $29k and he owes $24-25k add $5k and you get $29k .

 

since it sounds like you wanted the G35c in the beginning i would go for it.

would your fiance want your tsx instead of the g35x?

 

IMO, I would rather have the S4 than the G35. I wouldnt do it.

 

Besides you were thinking of the S4 before your bro, why settle with the G35 now?

 

Hey, if you really want it that bad, don't let anyone one here persuade you otherwise. Do what you feel is best for your needs.

 

I don't know how much you should sell your TSX for but i'd take the G35 in a heartbeat.

 

Have you thought about the TL, that is a sweet car, and 260 ponies is a plus

 

i always wanted the g35 coupe. then i started looking at the s4. s4 is too much for me right now. g35 is perfect!

 

Thanks for your help guys.

i decided to go with the g35. my car and parts are up for sale in the classifieds

 

what ever makes u happy dude!

congratz~ and enjoy the VQ35!

 

Nice choice JaTe, you'll love the G35.

Stop on over at www.freshalloy.com or www.g35driver.com (though your name does sound familiar on those boards). We always welcome new members!!

Be careful in the snow with the stock pilot sports, they can be a horror. Might want to get a set of dedicated snow wheel/tires for that car if you are going to be driving it through the winter.

 

thanks! i am already a member on those boards. i already have a g35x and now just added the g35 coupe to the collection. cant wait to start modding the coupe!!!

 

i wish! my fiance doesnt know how to drive a manual and has no desire to. i tried to get her to learn with no luck.

 

Good move Jate. I would have opted for the G also. I was about to say, if you don't want it, I would take that deal from your bro.

 

the interior is nothing to jump up and down about
