Well... finally bit the bullet...

Just closed the deal less than an hour ago. Traded in my 01 NPB CL Type S w/Navi, wing for an 08 G37S Coupe

I would post pix but you've all seen a stock G... It silver with light grey interior w/ the aluminum trim, premium package.

I never thought I'd buy a non-Honda, or a non-black car, but I've been wanting a G ride since I first saw one last year. I got a killer deal too! The car only has 1500 miles on it, so it's new.

Now the bad news. I was backing out of my driveway and bumped my neighbor's visitor's Corolla . They freakin' parked a little off center of my driveway. Nothing wrong with their car, but I already need to repair an uuugly scratch on rear my bumper I'm more mad at myself than anything.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Very nice! Enjoy the sweet ride

I've had my eye on them when they first came out, but it's just a little more than I can spend right now.

Congrats! I had a 06 G35 coupe a couple of years ago; mine was silver too. Awesome ride; the most fun car i've ever had. I'm sure the G37 is even better. Was kind of sad when I had to turn it back in at the end of the lease as it was the most fun car I've ever had. I'm comtemplating getting another one, but I just paid of my TL a few months ago, and loving not having to pay a car note and may just end up getting a bike. Post pics!!!!


Also, your first few scratches/dings on a new car will drive you no matter how small. I was the same way about my cars when I first got them, it was almost an obsession. I'm still like that, but unless the scratch ding is really bad, I usually can live with it now.

yup... I'm smiling on the outside, but I'm crying on the inside

I hear ya on the no car note thing. The CL was paid off for over 3 years... That's why I said "bit the bullet"

Congrats! As I am planning on getting back on my feet I am continually shopping for my future car, even though I had a 07 G35x and wasn't totally in love with it, I think a lot of my complaints have been answered with the G37. Shopping in that market, the infiniti just keeps getting better and better while not climbing drastically in price.

Personally I think the G is the bargain in it's class with the power and amenities you get for the price. Just be prepared to pull up next to another one at the light.

Nice car What are you going to do about the scratch? Something like that would drive me crazy until I fixed it.

I really would like a set of staggered wheels I'm still trying to get the wife "fully" on board with the purchase . She's 95% there. If I get wheels now I'll have to sleep on the couch Maybe next year. For now I gotta get that freakin' scratch repaired.

Overly excited, especially coming from what I've been driving . I got Grey exterior, black interior. But when I get the car, I'll make a proper post w/ pics, I'm not trying to take away from your thunder. Congrats again bro.
