Finally Got a Daily Driver - G35 6 speed

[sam1]

After some issues with a Subaru Legacy GT, I wandered into the Infiniti dealer and found they had some hail damaged cars - having a friend with repair connections I figured it might be worth a shot. I bought a '05 6 speed sedan with everything but nav, including the aero kit for $9k off sticker - first impressions are good do far - plenty of power (298HP), tight handling and strong brakes - but have not yet pushed it too hard. Bill, if you are reading this, I might just keep this one, but we'll see.

Good to see you found a replacement. Hope this one sticks it out for the long haul.

I like these. They're mod friendly too.:icon996:

I really like the looks of the G35. If you don't mind me asking,what was the sticker price on the one you bought,Sam?

:lmao: :lmao:Right, sure, of course......

Sounds like a deal though. How much damage from the hail? At least it will be big enough for the two baby seats and just in time too right. I guess mama will be pushing that ole chevelle in the yard so she can park inside now-lol.

Sticker was $35,400 - looks like the damage will cost $2k to repair according to estimates today. Invoice was 32.8 and I will be in it for 28.5 fixed, so it was a decent deal given I could not find a non-hail car for under 33.5.

Bill - bring your goat down this fall - we can take the chevelle, the g35, and your beast to the track and have some fun.

As for kids in the car - my daughter likes the traction control off.

Sam,

My brother has a coupe and I have driven it often. It is a very forgiving car. One thing to watch out for is scratching the rims because of how wide they are to the tire.

That is my favorite new car, but me affording one, not a chance, maybe used in a couple of years, Steve
