So i went and test drove a G35, i kinda like it but theres a few things that worry me. The trans grinds when shifting from 4th to 5th. I told the dealership about it and they said they’d take a look at it. I’ll know whats wrong with it by tuesday. I know these cars have shitty transmissions… How fucked am i if it breaks after i buy it, i know the lemon law covers it for 3000 miles. ---

they’re plentiful cars. Go and find another one that doesn’t have problems. ---

LOL as soon as i would have heard the first grind i would have taken it back and left. Unless they rebuild/replace the tranny you wil **NEVER** feel comfortable owning it. It’s like a half ass repair you make cause you don’t wanna take an extra half hour to do it, next day you spend 3 hours taking it all back apart and doing it right ---

The other thing, the only thing I can really add is that the paint on these are pretty thin, roofs very thin compared to other vehicles. This will only be a concern to you if the swirls bother you and you plan on a crazy amount of detailing on a regular basis. The paints on some are pretty maintainable, albeit a bit soft which would play into the aforementioned. ---

I think the G35 and 350Z have that transmission problem. The first few version of the trans have that grinding. Not until the CD009 version of the 350Z solved that problem. I have had mine replaced twice under warranty. ---

The only good thing the NYS Limited Used Passenger Vehicle Warranty can be used for is wiping your ass. Don’t plan on it covering much, if anything. ---

Walk away. They’ll never fix it properly. I’d have them put it up for you so you can check the ball joints/control arms too. I replace a ton of them. ---

I did, I’m looking at a solstice over at basil cars… but they want 18,700 for it… KBB and nada both have it around 16k so i know im over paying. Car is a 2006 with 15k miles. Salesmen offered me 16,900 with my trade in but still… 2500$ over nada and KBB value sucks ---

i dont see how you can get a solstice over a Z/G but if it’s from Basil then it’s cool with me.
