Also to derail Tell us more about the G35. I test drove one over the weekend, 80k mile sedan with the six speed. If they weren't firm on the $12k price it would probably be mine. It was great, other than the clutch engagement point, which you can fix with a new pedal. I'm seriously considering getting one too and wondering how the automatics compare.
OK, now that it's been over a month I finally have this thing in my hands. I got an '06 in Lakeshore Slate blue with 160k miles and a six speed manual trans. It needs a bit of love, which I'm working on. Put new tires on it yesterday and got it aligned today. Oil is leaking onto the exhaust from somewhere, I can smell it after running for a couple of minutes, but not sure where it is coming from yet. Headlights need to be restored and the passenger low beam is out so I won't be driving it until I take care of that as it is dark when I leave for work in the morning and also about half the time when I head home in the evening. Paint needs some attention and the front passenger seat probably needs to be recovered. Also, a modern radio might be nice, but that will have to wait until I get comfortable that all the mechanical needs have been addressed.
