G35 sedan..
I must say that the G35 sedan is nice driver's car. Picked one up as a rental at Hertz. The engine and the tranny are definitely geared for driving fast.
Just not a big fan of the car design inside and out, but for 30,000 grand it's not that bad.
Still would get an 04 TL over this one.

For 30k it is an absolute steal. Why would anyone buy an Altima or Maxima is beyond me. Sad all the interiors are equal though. And the G35sedan is ugly as sin. But that is better than buying a GS 300/430 knock-off (Altima/Maxima).

Nice choice! How many miles?
If it's from Hertz, does that make it a rental? If it was a rental, how did you reassure yourself that it had been well cared for? As I recall, their servicie histories are up-to-date, but what about wear and tear?! Ex-rentals have some sweet prices, but I hesitate to buy one. Granted I don't beat on rentals, but there are some real horror stories out there.

i have never driven G35C AUTO before and i had G35S Auto as loander cars for manytimes... honestly,, the sedan auto acutally feels FASTER than my 6mt coupe, the Gearing is very very GOOD... it feels like a F1 tranny.. i mean the rpm goes up really fast and it changes gear VERY VERY FAST....

all the time. There are other cars in the world besides yours (whatever it is).By the way, a friend of mine owns a 1966 Shelby 350H. Know what the "H" stands for?

You can pretty much get just about any car from any of the top car rental agencies (i.e.: Hertz, Avis, Enterprise). You may just have to ask for it in advance, in some cases.

Navigator
All jags except for the convertible (Used to carry the XJ8 Sport)
Lincoln LS V8
Land Rover
G35
All I can think of

I always rent from National and recently AVIS. However, the last rental from AVIS in New Orleans was a Hyundai Elantra. I'm now back to National. I rented a PT Cruiser for Bike Week in Daytona.

I don't have either car so it really doesn't matter to me, but comparisons are inevitable, especially in this class because there is great demand for this class car.
