    Man that thing is nice. The great thing about black is that when it's clean, it just looks VIP. Also, those wheels look real nice, even if they are stock. Make it your own!

    I think the stock exhaust is amazing on these cars, personally. I am a bit on the conservative side in that regard.

    That is clean! I know how it feels to find the G you want. It took me more than a year to find the color/options I wanted for mine. When I found it, I knew she was the one.

    I envy you for those OEM Rays. I think I might pull the trigger on a set in the spring.

    EDIT: were you just stopping to take a photo? Gas cap is on the passenger's side of the car... heh.

    Yeah the wheels are nice and light. The price of 19 inch tires however, sucks!!!

    Well labor will be free since I DIY for most stuff. My maxima had the vq and it was a great engine so I expect this to last as well. I will say....it doesn't feel like it has 298 horses. It feels like 220 lol. My senta might be able to give this g a run for its money lmao. The power delivery of the G is much smoother however.

    You have to take the weight and gearing into consideration, though. That car is probably FULLY loaded, meaning more weight. And being a 6 cylinder, I'm sure Nissan made the gears a bit longer.

    It's all good, I didn't get it for speed, I got it because I wanted a nicer car. I just got spark plugs for it...they were 10 bucks each lolz. For my maxima it was like 3-4 each. Damn Infiniti. I hope my coil packs never go bad cuz that would burn a hole in my wallet.

    I also ordered a new brushed silver titanium shift knob and a polished strut brace bar!

    The modding has begun.

    All of my other cars I bought cash which is why they weren't that nice, this is the first car I've ever financed. I'm usually not one for any type of commitments....but the G was worth making an exception for, plus I plan to have it paid off within 1 year so it's not too bad.

    16,500 with 70k miles. I think it was a pretty decent deal.

    KBB is about 18k with the options and condition so meh.

    I would keep subtle mods on this one and keep the Sentra as your "build" car.

    It makes sense, but I guess I never realized g35's were in the same class/price range as bmw 3-series. My mom just bought an 06 325i and it was 16,000. Very nice upgrade for you, ricky.

    cars depreciate a lot in 5 years...40k cars come down to 20k!!! Or in this case, 16k lol. I have the window sticker that came with this car and base it was 33k and with all the options its 39k. Thats a whole lot of depreciation in 6 years, part of the reason why I would never buy a new car unless my salary looked like this: $200,000.00.

    Depreciation is whatever. You'll almost never have equity in a car. If you know how to shop for a new car, you won't entirely lose your ass. I pulled my spec'd out 2012 civic off of the delivery truck for 4k under MSRP, so depreciation won't hurt too bad. New car buying isn't always the horrible venture everyone makes it out to be.

    You're one of the few ppl that drove a brand new car off the lot with positive equity in the car then. Doesn't happen for most people.

    I sold my sentra and wheels and coilovers are ordered!
