These days you don't lose a ton of money with new cars. You can get 0% financing on new cars and depending on the price of the car, pay less in the end due to the high used car finace rates. Use a finance calculator playboi.

Resale drops alot on most cars once you drive off the lot. If you know youre going to keep it longer then the life of the loan, then it makes sense to buy new. Otherwise, thats how alot of people end up upside down on loans.

Congrats on getting something new. I dont know if I would have gone with the Genesis as it isnt visually appealing to me, but nice pick up anyway.

Is it a 6MT?

thanks guys. I was initially looking to get G35. l test drove both, and realized for 2-3k more i can get brand new car (practically the same as G35)the way i want it. I was def against getting a new car, but the situtation was different in this case.

I wanted to get the turbo, but once you have 6cyl- its hard to go back with that rice rocket sound of the 4cyl engine. I read lot of reviews b4 i got the Genesis. and manual has some issues.. so i got the auto. All i can say is .. its quick. cant wait to start modifying!

It def doesnt have all the luxury of the CL though. I think CL was ahead of its time.

nope, not the track version. Little too much for the track GT+ it gives you some room to modify the car for urself. the track does come w/ Auto. It has more stiff stuff, brakes and less electronic stuff for $31-32k. Mine $27 OTD

That makes no sense gramatically.

If you have the $ to pay it off completely right away then used is the way to go...i bought the CL used. And yes prices do plummet once it's the slightest bit used. I'm just saying that the low finance rates and warranty are nice, plus it's a brand new car. That's if you are financing it though.
