New Ride...

Picked this up today, I think it will be a nice change in regards to gas expenses compared to my old Nissan Titan

Nice ride! I was thinking about getting one of those before I bought my EVO.

Re: New Ride...

Yes I got rid of the Titan, there are other options for towing my car around as several of my frineds have trucks...

As far as the G35 versus Evo thing I was in the same boat, but this way I'm pretty sure I can keep myself from modifying it which would not have been possible with an Evo lol.

I was also looking at a G35 coupe, but decided on my Lincoln LS for 1/2 the price. Good choice!

Re: New Ride...

2006, had 8 miles on it when I got it. Set me back about 34,4xx... But hopefully I will hold on to it for more than a year and a half this time lol.

For a comparable G35 it was about 1/3 the price. I got my LS for $10k. It is a '01 and had 76k miles on it though.

Yeah, but it's worth it considering you weren't the one to take it up the ass as soon as you left the lot. You lose about $5-$7K within the first year alone.

Re: New Ride...

Most times you get what you pay for in buying Low or No mileage rides.

If you don't want to buy other peoples problems, the newer the better.

My Cobra had only 2K on it and it did cost me $30K BUT it's BETTER THAN PERFECT!

Hope your happy with your purchase, I SURE KNOW I am!

Re: New Ride...

For sure, for me it was all about the trade in, APR, and the fact that no one else has abused it... I'll leave that to myself lol.

Re: New Ride...

So far it is fantastic, no complaints at all except that compared to my Eclipse the 298hp just doesn't feel that fast lol. The ride is awesome, handles great, and sounds outstanding. Couldn't ask for more...
