This is/was my daily driver.  Bought it about a year and a half ago.  At the time it had 49k miles and was a CPO car.  I think I've got the Carfax report from when I bought it, showing it had been dealer serviced, no accidents.  It was my daily driver for a while, until I gave it to my wife several months ago for her to use as a daily...and I took her minivan.  Yeah, yeah, what a nice guy I am.  The car currently has 70k miles on it and will go up some as we are still driving it.  It's in overall very clean condition.  It's needed nothing but oil changes, which I've had done at the local NTB.  Everything on the car works as it should.  You could fly in from anywhere in the country and drive it home.  It's been garage kept since we bought it.  It has a few small scratches which you'd expect with 70k miles.  Interior is in excellent condition.  There is a small piece of trim on the drivers door panel that has the "chrome" plating peeling a bit, but I have the replacement part (never got around to replacing it).  Absolutely love driving it.  It's fast, has razor sharp steering, personally I love the sound of the VQ engine.

So why am I selling?  Well, shortly after I bought it my kids started getting into travel lacrosse.  They've been playing rec for years, but travel has now become a big part of their lives.  At this point, all 3 of them play year round.  Plus they still play rec...and my younger son still plays football too.  We honestly spend something around $15K-$20K+ per year on their sports.  I also love my hobby of LeMons racing.  Those of you who do it know how much it costs.  Then there is this car, which I have a payment on, pay full insurance on,  and uses premium unleaded.  Between kids sports, racing and the Infiniti, something has to give.  My kids playing sports is non-negotiable.  They're only young once and I want them to play.  So it was down to the car or LeMons.  Well, I can...and someday will...get another nice daily driver.  I can't replace the fun and memories I get to make racing LeMons.  So the Infiniti has to go.  My son and I are going to "share" his '97 Lexus LS400 and a '94 Mustang GT we're about to go pick up. 

As I mentioned above, I have a loan on the car.  I'm a GRMer, I'm not going to rip anyone off.  I am very flexible on how we can work it out.  I've sold cars I had a loan on before, and the buyer just meets me at my bank, we pay off the loan and they take the car.  The title shows up less than a week later.  No, I don't have the bandwith to pay off the loan myself without moving a lot of things around that I'd rather not do. 

Car is in Dallas, GA, about 30 miles NW of Atlanta.

Price is $13,000.  You can also really help a good cause.  One of my LeMons teammates was recently diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia.  He's a fabulous guy and a friend.  We have a GoFundMe set up for him.  If you give me full asking price, I will donate $500 of the money toward his cause.

You are much too far away. Although I have done a similar drive and drive 12ish years ago. Hmmm.

If you want any other pictures or info, just let me know.  It'll be a nice and comfy drive to anywhere.  And if it's hot out, this thing has one of the strongest a/c in any car I've ever had.  It'll freeze your nuts off on a 95 degree day.

In this thread you will find the direct contact info to an independent shipper that I used recently who is based out of Jacksonville, FL.  My 440 mile trip cost $330 or .75 per mile.  Your profile says Chicago so simple guess is you are 700 miles from the Infiniti.  If so, at .75 that is $525 to get it shipped directly to your front door. 

If you consider renting a car and driving to get the Infiniti, heed this advice...  One way rental cars are more expensive than rentals where you return to the same place.  Enterprise is not good at one-ways but Hertz is.  But, when renting from Hertz be sure to choose to pick up and drop off only from a Hertz HLE location.  HLE stands for Hertz Local Edition.  These are the more suburban locations that focus on more in-town rentals.  As such, these locations do not have to charge the tourist/traveler fees and taxes like they do at the airports, train stations, etc.  

So, Hertz one way rentals are not cheap (might be $175 per day) from an HLE location but if you do that same rental with a return or pick-up at an airport it could cost as much as $100 more per day!!!

I would think you could get a dirt cheap plane ticket between the 2 busiest airports in the world.  Do the drive and make it fun.
