Default Thats all folks Bought a new car...

Hello CL,

Well after 5 years with my 99 gs300 I decided to buy a new car I loved this car so much so many memories with the car her name was Sydney, got up to 223k on the car, I purchased a 07 g35 sedan journey model black on black,

But wait there is good news the gs300 will be staying in the family my dad is fixing it up and giving it to another family member

Nice, I didn't realize you could get a g35 for that cheap, I assumed the prices were still mid teens. I always liked the G, but then I drove the q50, I'm definitely liking infiniti more and more.

Can't speak on the G35. But I did have a 2003 M45 really nice car. Fast, powerful, and smooth. But the build quality/and reliability just flat out sucked. Especially compared to a Lexus.

before getting my GS it was a toss up between it and a G35 sedan. they're beautiful cars, really. congrats on the purchase and i hope it's good to you!

Default yup



A few of my friends have this car, they look and drive nice (if you like stiff rides) but they do fall apart WAY faster then a GS, but not everything can last as long as a GS! But one of the most fun cars to drive besides a BMW or MB

it says alot when the resale value is only 11k for a 2007, a 2007 lexus would be like 15k+. At least its more reliable then a BMW, everything will fall apart besides the engine and tranny if you treat it right and dont let it burn away all the oil, G35s are notorious for burning oil. It definitely looks nicer and way more modern then the 2GS

Congrats! You now have as much horsepower as us 400/430 drivers pumping out of that legendary VQ engine! The G's drive great!! My only gripe is the interior materials not being up to par with the competitors. All and all, great car and great purchase. Enjoy!
