Basically, i was looking into an 06 evo mr 2 months ago.

Im 17 by the way, so remember price was an issue.

I couldnt get my mom to sign for it, she said to much.

So I settled for an 04 G35 6 speed.

Well, in the 2 months ive had it, 2 new window motor, replacement engine (yes new engine), clutch slave cylinder? maybe, syncros in tranny, shaking, shifter linkage.
and a few other things I cant recall.

Basically Ive been back to there shop 8 times now, Them having possesion of the car about 5 weeks of the 10 ive owned it.

Clutch now makes a whining noise when not engaged, and shifting linkage wont barely allow me into 5th or 6th.

Been back 4 times and they say nothing we can do, not our problem.

Now they offer me 10grand for a trade in, i bought it 2 months ago for 22k.
My mother and I have asked several times can we do I buyback, and get for an evo they have, a base model 05.

They say they wont buyback or help me in anyway.

Aswell as, the G35 passed MD state inspection with lowering springs, which I believe to be illegal to inspect. They did the inspection go figure.

Anything I can do? I want out of the POS and into the evo i wanted in the first place....
Sorry for the long post, but there was alot to be said.

Why did the engine fail?

found out from Infiniti the guy before me had a CAI on it, and hydrolocked cylinder 5 and bent a connecting rod, the rod was replaced but it burnt oil and sounded bad.

Which the covered up the sound somehow, for I didnt hear it when it was purchased

There is the "Lemmon Law". But i'm not sure how long you have to return the car. I would call a lawyer and explain your case. Just to see if you have a good case and if there is something they can do.

Its Lemon Law just to break *****.

OP, did they sell you the car AS IS? If so your SOL buddy

im not a lawyer or anything and i don't know how law works in the us. but in canada if you buy an inspected (certified) vehicule from a dealer and any major failure happens within i think 90 days in some provinces you have the full right to get 100 % of your money back. if you have the time & money to try and fight the dealership in court or something i would definatly try.... just my opinion though



*also it's very easy to get a bum safety in quebec and it's supposed to be government inspections, so you may have something there with the lowering springs*

is it an infinity or mitsubishi dealership? or just a used car dealer???

used car stealership.

It was sold with the MD used car 30 day warranty, aswell as me buying a 4 year bumper to bumper.

hate to say it but those problems were very similar to my first manual car, and as a new teenage driver, I made sure to beat the **** out of it every time I got behind the wheel, I'll bet my entire paycheck that's part of the problem here.

Its possible driving habits could have created some of the problems. But I am going to side with the driver. The car sounds it was previously abused. It might take a year of hard driving to run into those problems. sounds like they have been happening from day one.

A carfax would probably have been a solid bet prior to purchase, keep that in mind in the future.
