So i want to drive a manual VQ so badly that I am considering trading in my 350z in for one. There is this dealer called Advanced auto in Burnaby with 04 g35. US import. Talked to the sales guy, he wasn't offering too much info on it.. too snowy out to get my car insured to drive down there to show them my car.
2004 Infinity G35

Had my car brought down to nissan dealer few days ago. they were gonna offer me 11k. for my 06 roadester with 75k km.. I was not happy with the offer, highest they would go was close to 13.5k.. i'll have to accept the fact that the value of these cars have gone down a lot.

How nissan valued my car is so dumb.. I ask for 16k
they said. i need new tires deducted 2k. was in an accident, lowered value.. deducted 2k. If I REALLY wanted, the assistance manager was gonna call the GM and maybe the GM would offer me close to 13.5k.. i said forget it.

anyway, what are your thoughts on the trade? i'll ask them to add cash on top ofcourse.. I have searched many web for used g35 or 350z 6 sp.. few interesting vehicles out there, but no one is really willing to trade for same car in auto tranny. Bah..

link to my car sale: 2006 350z for trade or sale Need better pics for my car..

DON'T BUY IT!

I was looking into it and it's a REBUILT. Tell him to give you the insurance paper and it'll say right there. The guy that works there... calls himself "SAFE" is so sketchy. I test drove the car, and it was really clean inside, but the transmission grinds in 2nd gear.

Also, the mileage is pretty high on that car too. Keep looking out for one. I missed out an opportunity on a collector's quality 2003 350z for like 11k!

whats wrong with an auto VQ with tiptronic....when its time for a clutch on those g's / z's you have to replace the flywheel...OEM is i think $1200

So you own a 350Z roadster and want to get a G35 but a few thousand bucks is stopping you?

Just sell your car for whatever @ market price and get the car you want. If a few thousand dollars is such a concern maybe you shouldn't be driving these kinds of cars.

Trade in value is going to be below want you want. Sell yours privately and buy what you want.
