Looking to buy a g35 in the gta area,need advice.

[djbookz]

hey folks, i'm looking to buy a g35 around the gta area.
coming from windsor, there are not to many g35's down here for sale.
I looked in private ads and dealer ads and most of them are in the gta area.
I was looking at some private and i seen only one i liked.
there is also alot of g35's that i like but are being sold at used car dealerships.
the infiniti dealerships has some good ones but are a little too much for my budget. I was wondering if you guys know what used car dealerships that are good and not shady? I was looking at malibu motors and canadian fine motors anybody have feedback on those dealerships? thanks in advance.

I would strongly recommend you stroll into an Infiniti dealership and give haggling a go. Nissan/Infiniti tends to grossly inflate their sticker prices but are quite willing to chop them down if you look serious. To give you an example way back a few years ago when I bought my first g35C I was able to take 7k off the sticker price for a used one.

Honestly I don't like large volume used car lots. They don't know their inventory, often cars are sold without history and the warranties that they provide are prone to disintegrate by the time you walk off the lot.

Go get one privately, next best thing.

[xg3]

i have had really good luck with private sales..i am a strong believer of used car...

i recently got a 2004 Z4 Fully loaded Sport / Premium 3.0i Auto for 23,000 with 40k km...

When i met the guy and saw the car.. i said i will take it haha.

Pick a trust worthy seller...

if thats the case, i might try that. what's ur method of gaining a discount like this? in the other hand , what do u guys think about used dealerships bringing US cars over and selling them?, i know most of these used dealerships are doing this with these quality import cars.

In that case you should go buy it used in the US and import it yourself. Used cars are much easier to import than new.

Method? Depends on dealer, time of day, any trade-in etc etc. Go to an Infiniti dealer (the one here in Scarborough is not bad). Find a car you like, test drive it, sit down with dealer and discuss.

Ahead of time you should do some research i.e. go to autotrader and black book (CAA) and get the average values of cars that are being sold privately or through dealers. Present this info to the dealer when negotiating. You should be prepared to finalize the deal on the spot and indicate this to the dealer.

Trade-ins may or may not help you depending on what you're trading in (especially if it's non-nissan).

It's not hard, whatever you do, please don't put a deposit on a car before you've fully negotiated on price. Some dealers will often try to force you into this before you've sat down on the table.

I would recommend against Canadian Fine Motors. Or at least approach them with EXTREME caution. Late last year I attempted to purchase a used Audi that they had in stock. Not going to get into the details, but suffice to say it was your sterotypical sleezy no-holds barred attempt at a sale from them. The "owner" is a real piece of work.

But, if they have the car you want, and you get it for the price you want, then it really makes no difference how good the purchasing experience was.

[cq358]

go click on this link
http://www.carpages.ca/used/2001/Lexus/LS_430/North_York/Ontario/141916
and if you google the VIN number of this Lexus, the car is reported stolen.

I don't trust those used care warehouse. Certified used from dealer is pretty good.

[intls]

CHeck out Malibu they have a lot in inventory. They buy car from Nissan Canada in Auction.

[gennika]

Don't go to Canadian Fine Motors! A few years ago i bought a '99 honda civic hatchback from them...they did not disclose that it was on a previous accident. I had to get the body re-welded and lots of body work done from poor repair/overspray job they did, and now it's a rustbucket.

i live in windsor too, i was looking at the G35 at the nissan dealership on tecumseh rd and online for a long time but too they're all over priced so i end up getting a 01 BMW 330I close to toronto,. dont forget a G35 is still a nissan, dont get me wrong i like the car, for the right price i would have bought one but am glade i didnt i love my bmw.

i looked at lots of dealerships in the GTA, am from the GTA area so getting around was easy and i had a place stay overnite (friends and family). this gave me time to move around and look at diff cars,.. in the end i bought private..


thanks

I hate this line "is still a Nissan". Nissan makes generally very reliable cars (source: Consumer Reports). There are lots of Mercedes-Benz owners who are
cocky with their "it's still just a Nissan/Toyota" line, yet in Germany, many Benz are used for taxis. Companies can rebrand themselves in another market to create the impression all their cars are high-end, top of the line.

In the case of BMW, I do think they make great cars, probably the best performing cars amongst entry-level luxury brands. However, many people who use the line "it's a BMW, not a Nissan" are buying it for the image, though I do think BMW's great reputation is well-deserved.

thanks for the reply, like i said i was looking at G35, when i said its a nissan, what i meant was donn't over pay for the brand name infinite, i would pay for a ultima instead, sure i would get less features but i could live with that..

i think the nissan have a great lineup but when it comes to the G35 myself and others think its over price in the used market,..

as for me getting the bmw it was a better buy for the money and performance, i was thinking about a 99 M3 but why pay that kind of money when i can get a newer car for the same or less.

as for what car he gets donnt matter to me at all, just dont over pay for the name.. a lot people are asking $16k and up for my car, i paid less than $16k with tax and everything on the road new plates two yr stickers and some more..

thanks

Ultima (think you meant ALtima) is not the Nissan clone of the G35. Altima is an american/mexican car built with a FWD platform for the N.America market; similar to the Honda Accord.

The only clone of the G35 wearing a Nissan badge is the Nissan Skyline V35 which is only available in Japan. The closest twin it has is the Nissan 350Z for the G35 Coupe NOT the Sedan. If you didn't want to pay to get the luxury features (which the G35 has over the 350Z); you should've looked at a 350Z for price comparision instead of an Altima. 350Z are priced only slightly less than G35C. In terms of the sedan; it has no twins beside the V35 Skyline.

The G35 is not overpriced; it is underpriced. The vehicle costed 50k brand new and you can pick up a 4 year old one for 16k. That is not being over priced; that is horrible resale value; lol. I have seen Accords/Camry more expensive than a 4 year old luxury car. Us G35 Owners are getting raped when we sell our cars and it is funny people are complaining about the price...

Enjoy your BMW; seems like you would have probably doubted your purchase with a G35 so good choice.

sounds like your arguing, how a 350z gets in i dont know, i was only looking at the 4d sedan maybe with the M package i think 6sp, i'll say it again i like the car but its not just me thats saying over priced, so far you havent bothered to find out what i think over price for the car is,. but hey everyone wants top dollar for the resale of their car and i dont blame them but to attack me without knowing how much i think over price is,.

come on, i have a 02 Z24 whats that worth dont here me crying about getting rape, i know your G35 should have better resale than mine but am not crying its the way things are.. why would i doubt myself if got a g35,.. like i said for the price and everything else the car was worth it,. would i buy a 04 g35 good condition for around 16k yes but you go find one, i sent more time looking for a g35 with good mileage and condition than any of the other cars i looked at but by chance or luck i went with the bmw it had nothing to do with brand..

how are you comparing a two seat with a four seat,.. i'll say it again i like the g35 i wanted one. i dont judge people by the car they dirve so dont judge me, i drive a z24 and a bmw, what dose that say about me?. to me i think nothing but thats just me..


i'll say this, i've read here a few times, your car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, is that bad or good thing i dont know, all i know is our Pacifica is worth alot less than it did a year ago by half, am i going to cry and be rude to someone about it no, the market spoke and we have to live with it thats all to it.


thanks

[mr_raider]

Nissans/Infinitis depreciate more than Toyota/Lexus or BMW. It's sad fact. I sold my 6 y.o Sentra for barely 5K :(

G35 makes excellent bargain luxury cars when used. There are some issues to watch out for. I would avoid the M/T versions since they have been known to burn oil.

Sorry to make it seem like I am arguing but I am clarfying your misconceptions. What I stated was not an opinion but facts; arguement at least has to involve something that cannot be proven to be true by logic.

The market reflects what consumers are willing to pay. HENCE why the asking price of the G35s tends to be higher than what you expected. What you claim these vehicles to be worth is not onpar with what the market is bringing. If the market demanded less; sellers would see they would have an advantage to underpricing their vehicle for what the threshold is and selling it much quicker instead of pricing higher and waiting for the vehicle to sell and lowering the price.

I am just stating that your opinion that the vehicle price is not what the market is demanding is not true. The G35 is not part of a limiting demographic (say a Ferrari or a Porsche where prices can fluctuate) as many people own one; if it was realistically only selling for much less; it would be priced much less. As you stated; the value is what the market brings but the market represents a broad demographic (a single person does not represent a market); so you cannot base what you believe to be true to be what the market is.

Of course vehicles are going to depreciate but I am just stating the resale values on G35s is already pretty bad (much worse than BMW/Lexus/Audi) and the market reflects that. But to say the market value is inflated kind of is not true because it is already quite low in comparision to the competition and the market is not adjusting widely to the lower price point.

I again did not make any reference to BMW or dirvers or about your character; I simply implied that if you found a G35 to be a Nissan Altima with more features you probably would not have enjoyed it. You would just be thinking you bought a more expensive rebadged Altima.

Mr. Raider:

It is a sad fact; but I would not limit soley to Nissan but the demand for the vehicles. The 240SX still sell for 3-6k despite being 18 years old and GTRs still sell for 20k despite being older than old. I think the G35 was just a new entry to the luxury market (no prestige for an Infiniti badge) tied to the fact it is a luxury vehicle. That is a bad combination. Another problem is that these vehicles held a relatively stable resale value until the G35/G37s came out. Everyone returned their leases and it flooded the market and then the low american dollar drove the value down even more.

The oil burning issues is only present on the 05+ 6MT G35s.

So how much are the coupes going for now?

I've seen a bunch of Sedans going for about $10000 on the low end. I haven't seen a Coupe for under $15000

It really depends. In Winnipeg the sedans are going for around 16k and the coupes are still demanding around 25k for the 04s at dealers (no private sales in the city so far). 15k for a coupe is considered a steal in the states so I would imagine it being around 18-20k privately in GTA for the 03-04.

this is what i was getting at, the market is saying sell for low a price but owners insisted on selling for higher price which is fine if someone will pay for it,.

I've not seen a good mileage g35 going for $10k to 16k, the ones i've seen are all over $23 but this was months ago, the crappy thing is, you shoudnt have payed $50k for a g35 in the first place,, last year we were looking at a tribeca in the state, i could pick up a 07 fully loaded for $33k cnd in the state, if i bought one here it would cost around $60k cnd,..

i live in windsor and i know dealers are buying cars in the US cheaper and still sell they at higher price, i could have went over and get a car in the US but with that year i wouldnt save anything, if i get anything new or one year old it wont be in Canada, only if the price change i'll think about it..

I know a ultima is not a g35 but if you can get a 07 altima for less than $18 with under 10K km why not, ultima ultima hey!, am not too picky thats why got the 3 series over the 5, i could have for about the same price but i like the 3 series (dont cost as much to fix)


the reason we think these cars are over priced now and why they lose their value is we payed too much in the first place. just my 2cent..

thanks

Being a previous owner of Nissan and current owner of BMW, I would like to share a couple comments.

1. The comparison between 350z and G35 is more valid than Altima and G35. Altima is a FWD family sedan. 350z is a RWD sports car. G35 is a RWD 2dr/4dr that is similar on chassis with the 350z. Altima on the other hand is totally different in terms of design language, engineering specifics, and targeting populations. I don't know how can you compare Altima to G35.

2. Infiniti is underpriced in the used market. Sure it's not the best bargain in the car market, but it is one of the best bargains in the performance sedan category. It is more bang for the buck than BMW.

3. A nissan is a nissan... A BMW is a BMW. I don't see the relevance here. Company doesn't matter, it's the products they make. BMW generally makes excellent cars. But Nissan Skyline can take on BMWs any day.

4. You are simply stating that 07 Altima is CHEAP. so what? the car is CHEAP as well. I hope when you got the BMW it was not because the fact that it was ONLY CHEAP. When people looks for G35 or E46, most are looking for the driving experience. Something that an Altima can never fulfill even after heavy modifications. RWD and FWD are completely different animals in terms of weight distributioin and handling characteristics when pushed hard. Even worse, G35 can be had with 6SPD Manual, 07 and newers Altimas on the other hand, are equipped with CVT, even worse for enthusiasts than automatic.

i only read part of what you have to say, first off i was not compariing anything, i just mention thats what i would have done back then if i couldnt find a g35 for the right price, i mentioned the altima because its in the nissan family,. your jumping to conclusion without knowing were am coming from, maybe if we were talking in person the conversation would have another way,i never talked about cheap cars other than the fact i got mine for a good price (not cheap a good price)..

the fact that you and others are bring up things that have nothing to do with anything is kind of silly, am thinking that your a car snob now, i dont care if you think the g35 is under price or not, i he/she said you could pick one up for $16k the ones i saw were going for $23k and up, so why are you even telling me about under price, whats your point who cares really,..

what should a 04 05 g35 go for $30 to $35k, how do you know what i think is over price.. i wont even finish your post the comment some far is ********.

i looked at SRT4, STI, chargers, 300c, A4, that fact that you think i was comparing a g35 and ultima (i love this name) shows your a car snob or ********, i dont car if a g35 is better than a bmw 330i or the other way around, it just happened to be the car i got in the end so i mention it,.

a bmw is a bmw and nissan is nissan or infinte who gives a crap, at the end of he day someone takes your money you have a car by the next day the money you spent is worth half, so i dont care about what car you or the next guy have or anyone else,.

what matters is am happy and your happy with what you've got.. next time before you start type be clear about what someone else is thinking before you start writing crap..

I'm sorry dude but I am having a really hard time reading through your posts. It might be why some of us keep thinking you mean something else.

We are trying to state you can't compare the G35 being a rip off by comparing it to an Altima; the comparision doesn't exist. You can't base a G35 being a rip off; that would be like comparing a Mini cooper to a 335i and saying why the 335i is 30k more than the cooper.

Second; your experience does not reflect the market!!! The market is determined by the average buyers and sellers. If people were selling their G35s too high; the market would adjust since sellers would have no buyers and eventually someone would be inctenived to to sell their G35 cheaper (if you don't understand; google "supply and demand"). The equilibrium you see right now is a balance between both buyers and sellers. If you read my post; you would understand why (G35 are common vehicles not exclusive vehicles which can monopolize the principle). So don't use supply and demand theory when you are proving yourself wrong with it.

Nobody is saying anything about you or your character; we are stating your comparision is just not true.

There's nothing wrong being a car enthusiate in a thread talking about G35. I'm pretty sure anyone who would even think about buying one, likes car to a certain degree. Otherwise, you are better off with a Merc or Lexus.

Like what Asad said, simply because in your area G35 goes for $23k up doesn't mean the car is over priced. I'm sorry if your area is so imcompetent. The O/P asked about price of G35 in GTA and due to the high number of supply it's not overpriced at all. Hence your comment about overpriced is completely useless.

If you cross shop 300c and A4 and STi; 3 completely different cars that share nothing in common showed that you were priced oriented consumer. These are probably similarly priced in your area but no matter in which angle you look at these 3 are completely different cars. So either you don't know what you are doing when you shop for a car, or you just simply buying a car based on price. Therefore an assumption that you got your car based on a good deal being the only reason is not overstretching.

From all the time, none of us used anything to attack you personally, and being unable to defend yourself by stating that what others wrote are crap will not earn you any points.

i live in windsor too, i was looking at the G35 at the nissan dealership on tecumseh rd and online for a long time but too they're all over priced so i end up getting a 01 BMW 330I close to toronto,. dont forget a G35 is still a nissan, dont get me wrong i like the car, for the right price i would have bought one but am glade i didnt i love my bmw.

i looked at lots of dealerships in the GTA, am from the GTA area so getting around was easy and i had a place stay overnite (friends and family). this gave me time to move around and look at diff cars,.. in the end i bought private..


thanks

Why your thread doesn't make sense:
You bought a BMW 330i near Toronto. G35 near Toronto is NOT over priced. If you compare both vehicle in the same market, I don't know what you are talking about. If you are comparing G35 in Windsor and BMW in Toronto, I still don't know what you are talking about.

thanks for the reply, like i said i was looking at G35, when i said its a nissan, what i meant was donn't over pay for the brand name infinite, i would pay for a ultima instead, sure i would get less features but i could live with that..

i think the nissan have a great lineup but when it comes to the G35 myself and others think its over price in the used market,..

as for me getting the bmw it was a better buy for the money and performance, i was thinking about a 99 M3 but why pay that kind of money when i can get a newer car for the same or less.

as for what car he gets donnt matter to me at all, just dont over pay for the name.. a lot people are asking $16k and up for my car, i paid less than $16k with tax and everything on the road new plates two yr stickers and some more..

thanks

Again near Toronto, you can get a G35 for a similar price. Even if it's abit more, due to the fact that G35 is generally more reliable than E46, at the end of the day they will be the same.

When you talk about performance, G35 will not get beaten by a 330i stock vs stock no matter which category you look at. You are saying BMW worths more simply because it's a BMW (the name). (If not, if you are only talking about performance, how is BMW worths more than G35 in anyway?)

I'm sorry dude but I am having a really hard time reading through your posts. It might be why some of us keep thinking you mean something else.

We are trying to state you can't compare the G35 being a rip off by comparing it to an Altima; the comparision doesn't exist. You can't base a G35 being a rip off; that would be like comparing a Mini cooper to a 335i and saying why the 335i is 30k more than the cooper.

Second; your experience does not reflect the market!!! The market is determined by the average buyers and sellers. If people were selling their G35s too high; the market would adjust since sellers would have no buyers and eventually someone would be inctenived to to sell their G35 cheaper (if you don't understand; google "supply and demand"). The equilibrium you see right now is a balance between both buyers and sellers. If you read my post; you would understand why (G35 are common vehicles not exclusive vehicles which can monopolize the principle). So don't use supply and demand theory when you are proving yourself wrong with it.

Nobody is saying anything about you or your character; we are stating your comparision is just not true.

sorry but i did read everything and just came back from vacation,.. first off when did i ever say anything about comparing a g35 to a altima, please quote me..

sec when did i say the g35 pricing is a ripoff, please quote that too, what i did say was if i couldnt find one for the right price i would get a altima instead, how is that comparing both cars, meaning i would stay with the nissan family,. if you read that wrong ask me dont start ****,..

as for that clown that said only a bmw owner would say nissan is over priced, he/she is a little *****, then says am not judging you, if thats not judging me then what was he/she getting at,. i only mentioned the car i bought in the and that clown start talking crap that have nothing to do with the answer i wrote for the OP, give me a break, then all these nissan lovers start talking about owe can build a better car ray ray ray..

anyhow the value of nissan is down llike it or not, if some can get a g35 for $16k according to you guys why should the OP pay $22k and up hence a g35 is a nissan and its over priced..

if a g35 is selling for $16k in TO and $23k in windsor i would say buy it in TO,..

am not mad, but that clown that started comparing cars is dumb, say what you want about bmw i dont care, its a car to me, if i found a benz or STI for a good price i would have went that way but i didnt, so what would he say then, only a subaru owner would say something like that about nissan,.

get a life, a car is a car get over it, your g35 was worth less than $50 new here anyway, he's/she's dumb for paying that in the first place.. your on RFD mofo do some wheeling and dealing.. geees


thanks

There's nothing wrong being a car enthusiate in a thread talking about G35. I'm pretty sure anyone who would even think about buying one, likes car to a certain degree. Otherwise, you are better off with a Merc or Lexus.

Like what Asad said, simply because in your area G35 goes for $23k up doesn't mean the car is over priced. I'm sorry if your area is so imcompetent. The O/P asked about price of G35 in GTA and due to the high number of supply it's not overpriced at all. Hence your comment about overpriced is completely useless.

If you cross shop 300c and A4 and STi; 3 completely different cars that share nothing in common showed that you were priced oriented consumer. These are probably similarly priced in your area but no matter in which angle you look at these 3 are completely different cars. So either you don't know what you are doing when you shop for a car, or you just simply buying a car based on price. Therefore an assumption that you got your car based on a good deal being the only reason is not overstretching.

From all the time, none of us used anything to attack you personally, and being unable to defend yourself by stating that what others wrote are crap will not earn you any points.

yes i was shoping for diff cars i have a family, i was sure at the time if we would get two or three cars or just one for me, we thought about geting rid of all three cars but in the end i only got rid of mine..

like i said if you dont know were someone else coming from dont say ****,. and telling about the market makes no sense the is goin to GTA, i clearly said there was nothing in windsor,,

if i have to point out everything for you guys make it simple dont responed unless you have worth hearing, the same gose for me. am from the GTA i know prices are less, did i not say went looking in GTA too,,. holy crap people RFD just love to hate without know what they're hating on..

why are these so called car Enthusiast comparing my car with g35, thats what i dont get its childish, and that person was judging me, only XXXX owner would say that, come on grow up,.
i own the car, the car dose not own me.. if i want a bmw, benz, mazda, kia i'll get it, that simple, i've owned a mx6 gt (turbo charged) all wheel steering, toyota cresida (nice) fast car......, i know what i want, if cant afford i'll get something else, hens if i wanted to stay in the nissan family and couldnt find a g35 for the right price i would get a altima instead.. Ultima!!!! :)..

last point, a freind test drove both the coupe and sedan g35 and did not like them in the end, he still lives in GTA he gets cars at whole sale (whatever dealers pay).. he drives a c230 k. he thinks the g35 is over priced too.. but whats over price not one person bothered to find out, go search google for marketing, dont talk down to me.


thanks

come on, i have a 02 Z24 whats that worth dont here me crying about getting rape, i know your G35 should have better resale than mine but am not crying its the way things are.. why would i doubt myself if got a g35,.. like i said for the price and everything else the car was worth it,. would i buy a 04 g35 good condition for around 16k yes but you go find one, i sent more time looking for a g35 with good mileage and condition than any of the other cars i looked at but by chance or luck i went with the bmw it had nothing to do with brand..



i'll say this, i've read here a few times, your car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, is that bad or good thing i dont know, all i know is our Pacifica is worth alot less than it did a year ago by half, am i going to cry and be rude to someone about it no, the market spoke and we have to live with it thats all to it.


thanks

Meh; you are somewhat implying you are. What I am pointing out is your economics example just doesn't hold water; you do not reflect the entire market. You represent a specific range but not the entire market. A PS3 to some hardcore video gamer will be worth $700 but to someone who can care less about gaming it would $300. The market will accomodate to each group if possible or at least at a median; usually not to one extreme. Saying " market spoke and we have to live with it thats all to it" isn't true.

I don't understand why you think anyone is saying a G35 is better; I am just saying your assumptions are false. My other post show your comparision so I am not going to quote that again. I have a BMW in my garage and my next car will be an M3; so I don't think anyone is trying to say something about a G35 being "blah".

You clearly do not understand what I am saying so this will be my last post since your responses also are a bit confusing so I might also not be understanding what you are saying.

for the OP or anyone else if your a DIY kind of person try these sites, if you take your car to the mech still buy the parts else where, you'll save up to half the price sometimes, www.rockauto.com, http://www.autopartsway.ca, http://www.autopartsonlinecanada.com/,. try these, up to you, i think CT wanted $20 per spark plug for my car i got them for $5 to $9 each free shipping, i spent over $75..

Don't go to Canadian Fine Motors! A few years ago i bought a '99 honda civic hatchback from them...they did not disclose that it was on a previous accident. I had to get the body re-welded and lots of body work done from poor repair/overspray job they did, and now it's a rustbucket.

i bought a car from Canadian Fine Motors about 4 yrs ago..

and all i can tell you is NOT to buy any car from them..
