Less than 69,000 2005 G35's were sold in the United States. Some of those will be coupes, some sedans, some MT/RWD, some AT/AWD. Some will have been lost to various causes.

Proportionally, more AWD models will be sold in New England than RWD models, and by a large margin. However, only 5% of the USA population lives in New England, which forms roughly the bounds of my searches (that's 200 miles in pretty much any direction). I will double that figure for this calculation, and state that not more than 6900 2005 G35's were sold in this area, and very likely less than that.
 
So that leaves five thousand 2005 G35x cars in all of New England. Let's safely conclude that not more than half of them can be black.

So less than 2500 2005 black G35x cars in all of New England. Next, mileage calculations. That's a six year old car, although dependent on the exact delivery date, it could be closer to seven years. That puts the mileage range as 90k to 105k. Beating that figure would put the car into a below average mileage, which also translates as above average price. Ergo, this black car may have fairly typical mileage for its age.

Let's go further. Loaded is a fairly common configuration for a G35x, so I shall make no calculations for it. However, they offer black leather with aluminum, black leather with rosewood, beige leather with aluminum, and beige leather with rosewood. Let us stipulate that not more than 80% of the 2500 cars sold will have the black leather and rosewood combination. It is likely that the figure would be much lower... in fact, I'll use 70%, even though I believe it to be lower than that. That leaves some 1700 vehicles now fitting the assigned criteria within New England. Total. Functioning mobile vehicles.
