I've really be having a time figuring out which i like best. My guess it would be on how the inside looks to me. (which, by just looking at the dash, the Inifini is ten times better). But well, the Z kinda appeals to me more on the outside, its prolly more tossable, and well, its a Z. (my brother had a 280Z when i was younger that i wish he still had around).


Also the Infini doesn't have any warrenty differences does it?

And last, how does the Ain't got no highs, ain't got no lows Bose setup in that thing sound?


And lucky you be..


Um, i guess that was 3...

im 5'8" and if i move the seats all the way back
i cant touch the pedals, so u should be fine
and plus the G35 has two extra seat that the Z doesnt have

the G35 comes with a 4 year 60,000 miles bumper to bumer warrenty
i think the Z is only 3 years 36,000 miles??

i listen to a lot of alt rock and it sounds fine to me

thanks!!

Didn't think the G35 came with the Brembo brakes, only the Track and the rumored "Special" 2005.

Last thing, one thing i didn't like too much on the Z is a sware i could barely see out the back, drove one in like late 2003, but some have told me i'm nuts. That being said, hows the view in the G?

the view from the back aint bad
but there is huge blind spots to my left so i have to like lean forward and look out the left window to make sure there is no cars

Very, very jealous... did I mention I was jealous?

If you don't mind me asking, what type of deal did you pull off (down, pymts, apr, etc)?

I'm looking at one myself, but can't decide if to wait for the '05's.

no prob
well first they took my lease BMW 325Ci off my hand and paid the $23,104.79 that i owed
and my car had A LOT of rock chips so they will have to repaint the whole front.

$37,000 out the door
$5000 down
4% interest rate
$610/60 months including wheel and tire hazard warrenty for 4 years

i was gonna wait for the 05 model but like i said b4 the wheels are fugly, MSRP is gonna be $500-1000 more than the 04 models and it will be in demand so you prob wont be able to get a good deal for while.

I was looking for pymts of 500/550... might have to take off the nav option and put some more down to get to that range.

Of course, a good loan from my credit union (I believe it would be 3.9%) wouldn't hurt either.

great, don't waste any time ricing up your new investment.

thats not rice!!
rice is if i installed a huge ass rear wing and lowered it to the ground
and changed all the lights to clear signals

Rice is doing anything to a car with an auto

Depending on the taxes where he lives, he paid about right. MSRP is about $36k as equipped (he didn't mentioned it that I saw, but you can see the leather seats in the pics) and Edmunds says that's what people are paying for these.

Still... auto and no Brembos = :(

Very nice car otherwise.

:roll:

A G35c is nice enough, expensive enough, powerful enough, and RWD enough to be exempt from EVER being called "rice".
