Infiniti G35 first servicing

Infiniti G35 thoughts

I’d like to reflect on my Infiniti G35 after 2.5 months of ownership. Might as well, since today I just completed two ownership surveys from independent parties. (J.D. Powers even included a $1 bill in the survey forms!)

Poor trade-in offers from Infiniti dealers

So I have been shopping for an Infiniti G35 6MT. The quotes for the 6MT itself were pretty decent, as in very close to invoice. The trade-in quote for my Civic Si, however, were not so favorable. One dealer gave me a value that’s $3000 less than Kelly Blue Book (KBB)’s trade-in [...]

Wanted, one Infiniti G35 Sport 6MT

I haven’t written about gadgets for a while because I haven’t bought anything new to write about. Well, I am putting together this post not because I bought a 2008 Infiniti G35 Sport 6MT. Oh no, I write because I want one. That’s one 2008 Infiniti Sport 6MT, as in 6-speed manual [...]
