So I found a 2005 Infiniti G35x for 8 grand. It had 140k miles on it.

I drove it and was amazed. The interior, drive-train and handling all were like a new car. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. There was not even any wear on the leather seats. Besides some normal wear and tear on the outside it felt like a new car.

So what is the deal with these things? Are they normally reliable cars? From my research online it seems that they are. After driving it, it makes me want to look for one with lower miles for more money, which i'm willing to spend.

>$8,000
>140,000 miles

this is bait

Shit trans in car. See them in the shop all the time. Interior is dated as fuck already. LOL orange dash lights. Don't age well. Other than that, the engine is a tank. The electronics are great. Suspension is okay. Bushings here and there. They aren't bad but they aren't good. Also 8k is a lot. I find the 2wd ones here for 4-6k with less miles. The awd isn't that good anyways. It's not true 50/50. I mean for an X it's not a high price, but I just don't think it's worth it.

>gauging personal value by what other people will pay for a product

Personal value is gauged by profit or usefulness over time.

A 140,000 mile car for $8,000 is an idiotic decision unless the car can be sold for a significant profit in not much time.

>>14148225
You are a fucking moron. The market dictates price of a product. period. "Personal value" is a feeling, market value is real. You stupid fucking cuck.
>$40k+ car cost $8k only 10 years later

LOL idiot.

Kay. LMK what your total cost of ownership is at 300,000 miles. By the way 300,000 miles in 4 years is quite a different kind of wear and tear than 300,000 miles in 8 years. Car is far more likely to exceed its "market value" (which doesn't matter because you're not selling it) in repairs as it gets older.

>>14148249
You have gone full blown retard. A car is a tool. So it cost money to keep it going. Also, with basic maintenance of a couple hundred a year this car will easily go another 20+ years. It also will only depreciate a few grand more at most. You are stupid as shit.

>160k more miles in say 6 years = 300k miles
>average maintenance cost $750/year
>$6,000
>sell it in that time for $1-$3k
>So call it $5k over 6 years
So a $13k car that served more use getting him to work, driving him around, taking trips with etc over 5 years. Yeah, real shit deal. He should buy a brand new car for $40k + interest over the same time to save money.

How cucked does one have to be?

Also you're going to have a fun time paying for parts for that car lmao.

Enjoy your cuckmobile and $8000 of hard earned cash wasted idiot!

I found a 2004 G35 going for 15,000 at about 40,000km. The only thing stopping me from getting it is that it's a luxury car, and stripping out a few hundred pounds of weight in the name of performance just seems wrong.

They're gorgeous looking cars, you should get one.

>>14148172

Paying 8k for a 10+1 year old car doesn´t seem right.

>buy $40k car
>300k miles in say 12 years (25k miles a year, avg is 15k miles)
>average maintenance cost $750/year
>$12,000
>sell it in that time for $1-$3k
>so call it $10k over 12 years

So a $40k car that served more use getting him to work, driving him around, taking trips with etc over 12 years. Yeah, real shit deal. He should buy a niggermobile for $8k that likely has a ton of half-assed maintenance/work done + frustration over time to save money.

>>14148172
Don't listen to anyone that hasn't driven one op, I drive one and it's a great car honestly runs smooth, has that bit of power if you need it in a v6 both the sedan and coupe look nice imo specially in the 05-06 models the 03 sedans are the ones you have to modify, like any other car if you take care of it it'll run you for 200,000+ miles if maintained right, oh and 8,000 for 140,000 is decent for the year model
