I got an 05 5AT with about 120k miles.. had it for a little over a year and in that time I've only spent money on preventive maintenance.. first thing I did was upgrade the cooling system and added an oil cooler. Upgraded the control arms and bushings and do oil changes every 3k miles.. she's never given me any problems at all other then the typical shit that comes with these cars like the window motor, trunk button, occasionally the power seats move by themselves. Drives like a dream. I love my G ♥️

I got a 2004 g35 coupe 140k miles, I bought it at 137k miles and it's the original engine. Ive changed the engine and tranny fluid and its been my daily. FWhen cars are old like these you're gonna have to put some new parts on. Also getting a used car is tricky because I'm pretty sure my G was being drifted by the previous owner lol

[@collinferguson7198]

i bought mine 4 months ago with 200k but it has a new motor and trans. so far ive had to replace the alternator, spark plugs, coil packs, valve cover gaskets, radiator fan. car has overheated once, and dumped oil but i stopped immediately. gonna do a compression test soon im praying for good news

[@sethgleason1749]

My 2006 G35 is at 134k miles. It had o ring leak in the oil cooler and clockspring replaced. That is all so far of 6 month owning it. It seems it haven’t been abused at all. It was kept very clean and had all oil change or any other service records provided.

[@taylor12elementvb]

When you have a high mileage vehicle you have to expect that things will wear out and will have to be replaced. It is after all the nature of the beast regardless of the vehicle you own. Driving habits, road conditions and the climate you live in will all have some degree of impact on your vehicle. Also, once you start making modifications to the vehicle you drive you should always be prepared to expect the unexpected. Still think the G35 is one of the best ever 2 door coupes that has ever been designed!

[@tyrellsuggs9916]

Currently at a lil over 170,000 miles, bought "as is" from a sketchy guy, problems with the car upon buying was an over heating issue, crank sensor, along with cam sensors goin bad, rotors were rusting, just ordered a brand new dual cooling fan, & radiator, also the aftermarket headlights are in trash condition, replacing both next week, last two things after all this, oil change & brake/rotor change out...it's been abused obviously...

Why’d you buy it lol

[@placeboism]

I did the same thing and my car was in same condition. Bought for 1100 with 175k. Replaced trash headlights, replaced the ecu, right control arm, o2 sensors. Oil and trans fluid are clean with minor oil leak somewhere. The car looks way better performs better, I’m sure I could sell it for 2500 no problem

60 bucks for your oil change? what brand of filter and oil do you do

[@kempowarrior]

My 2007 G35 Coupe have 140,000 miles on it replace brakes, ignition coil, oils change, transmission and coolant flush and new tires and brakes. I'm good to go for a while. NO oil consumption issue or any other issues. I believe Infiniti fixed the oil consumption problem starting with 2006-2007 model years. Hopefully you don't have any more problems with your G35 coupe. I think it has to do with the previous owners to. If they don't do the basic maintenance or take care of the car you're screw.

Good video just got a g35 2008 sedan with 92 thousand anything you recommend I check runs great

[@amalshakur]

The main thing you have to be aware of is it will be expensive to change out the water pump. You have to remove the belt, pulleys, and the whole front engine cover to get to it. That's how I lost mine. Couldn't afford to get it changed when it started over-heating. So make sure you use high quality coolant. That's the only problem I had out of mine's. I had 94,000 on mine when I got it.

[@nowimhigh]

Curious why the oil filter cost $20? Also you're going a bit overboard changing the oil every month. It's your car so do you but it's unnecessary. If you're using a quality Synthetic oil you can go easily 5k miles before your next one. Just top off the oil whenever it's low. Some synthetics can last up to 15k until the next oil change. Unless you're driving it hard and beating it all to hell than you don't have to frequently change it. You should do no more than 4 oil changes a yr if that. Make sure you flush that radiator fluid and change the transmission and differential fluid.

[@tridentfd8482]

Not really the Vq do consume oil especially if you are pushing the car, my oil won’t last me a month I’ll normally have 3 quarts left in my car so I rather just change the oil then to keep topping it off which can cause as much as an oil change.
