At 139000km, this car will have many items needing maintenance, worth looking into, I'm not fimiliar with Infinite but price looks high. If everything is ok I'd say go for it, I have a couple of friends with the coupe, didn't hear too many problems with Infiniti cars.

that's some pretty high mileage for a 2003 car :O
it might be nice to ask what the car was used for, and under what driving conditions. if it's a lot of highway driving, which isn't too bad on the engine, then i'd be more okay with teh high mileage...but if it's that much on local streets...errr...u might wanna be a lil careful.

it's really cheap, but high mileage.
get it checked out by a mechanic, if it looks ok, then it'd be a steal.

As other people have mentioned it's pretty high mileage for the year, but if it's mostly highway miles it shouldn't be a problem.
The price is great for the year, it looks like a good deal.
Get it inspected and go from there.

Dont trust people that say highway mileage. Seems now that every used car owner says that there cars mileage is all highway mileage. again best way is to take it to a mechanic

I would kind of stay away from this, 130k on a 2003 are you joking, tahts over 3 years, you do the math this card might of gotten abused. Get a mechanic to check it out first, it if was me i would walk away

if you do the math, this works out to approx 125km driven on this car per day, sins it was bought. Yeah, it's possible. but thats EVERY DAY.. It's also a big commute.
I'd back away, or get it checked out at the very least. keep us posted.

The car could have been bought in mid/early 2002. 2003 was the first MY for the G35 and most automakers bring out their new cars with a MY that a year later than the year they first go on sale. Witness the 07 Chevy Tahoe that went onsale in Jan 06. Can anyone confirm that Infiniti did a simiar thing for the G35?

The G35 sedan was released in early March of 2002 for the 2003 MY (I remember doing donuts in one on fresh snow :lol: ).
Figuring this car is now 48 months; that's about 35k a year. Which although high is pretty much the average for anyone that lives in the suburbs. I'm suprised the car dropped so much in value though, given the coupes didn't depreciate much. I remember a few of the early models had tranny issues and finicy brakes; but nothing major.
The interior is chintzy for a $40k car and quite narrow at that. If your on the heftier side the integrated seat controls on the seat tops won't be appreciated.
Other than that a great car to drive. You won't find a similar 330i/328i for anywhere for the same price.
