The G-spot

[Secret Chimp]

If you read any of the used car entries on TTAC, you know that used cars always have a huuuge markup compared to new.

That's a kickass picture.

[hotrodalex]

Indeed.

[Cookie Monster]

God damn I love that color on your car.


Anyways, my dad and I are going back to look at a G sedan tomorrow. He might buy it if they go low enough.

[CALL_911]

Today I saw a grey G37S sedan. Thing looked fantastic.

[Cookie Monster]

We just checked out a 2010 G37 Special Edition with red leather and all the options. It's an automatic but it had 30k miles and is selling for $30k. The dealer won't budge off that price either and my dad is thinking about just buying it.

Make sure they performed the TCB for the transmission reflash.

They'll budge he'll just have to work for it. If he's already given the body language that he doesn't care too much he's probably done for. Also, that sounds too high - $25k should be the target. If he doesn't haggle it ain't no thang really - there are worse sins .

[Cookie Monster]

So he bought a G.

[GoCougs]

Nice, but that's not the SE edition, right? Looks like an S...

[SVT666]

Those are S wheels.  Nice!

[CALL_911]

Hell yeah. That's a beautiful car, man. Congrats and I'm jealous of your dad.

6MT?

The anniversary edition has red seats, which his doesn't.

[Cookie Monster]

6MT?

I love this car so much. It's the first car that I'm actually jealous of that he's had.

It drives so well and is ridiculously powerful.

[CALL_911]

Yeah, I would love to have one of those.

[Cookie Monster]

The real kick in the nuts is that he bought the car less than 12 hours before I'm supposed to leave for Texas. I've driven the car once.

[CALL_911]

So what do you prefer, the G or the 7er? Do not factor in the transmission.

Transmission is important!

[Raza]

Not a bad choice!  DIY transmission ups the cool factor, definitely. 

I wonder if Infiniti will ever be able to lend the G's success to other models.  Even when they sold the Q45, I only saw three of them, including the one my dad test drove.  Ms are rare and FXs have fallen off the face of the planet.  I don't even remember what the Infiniti Armada version was called.

Well, even so, the G is lighter, smaller, more agile; can't see how it wouldn't be more fun.  As monstrous as my mom's CLS550 is, my Jetta was still more fun to drive.

QX, I think?

QX56.

They're all going to be called QX from now on, right?

[afty]

Nice! That's a beautiful G!

[CALL_911]

IMO this is CarSPIN's most desirable G. Post-facelift, 6MT, sport package, great color, a sedan. Pretty much my ideal G37.

[GoCougs]

I really wish the AWD G sedan was available in 6MT. Of note, the Q50 won't have 6MT in any configuration but will have a worthless "performance" hybrid package available, at least for MY2014. I couldn't be less impressed it. It is also very odd that the car is already at dealer lots yet there has yet to be ONE independent road test.

Except that it doesn't belong to anyone on the Spin.

In that case afty wins
