I need a little advice. Well actually its for my brother, but I figured I'd help him out a little. He's about to get a new car. Well a new used car and cant decide between the 350z and the G35. He has it narrowed do to one of the two. But doesnt know which one to get. he intends on doing slight modding, exhaust, intake, wheels and tires. Just want to know what you guys think what the better buy is. Oh yeah and he doesnt wanna go above 15 grand. Any input is better than non!!

Thanks in advance for the advice.

 

You'll be able to get a better 350z for 15k... They're basically the same car. The G35 is just the VIP version. So if he doesn't care about the luxury, he should get the 350z.

 

Yeah I informed him that the G35 is just a luxury version of the Z. He's ben able to find them both for around the same price

 

Both with equal mileage and equal year? IE a 2005 G35 with 50k miles and 2005 350z with 50k miles? Comparable equipment? Go with the G35 coupe for sure then. Unless the Z is the track version with the bigger calipers etc and he wants a track car.

 

they were both 04's but the G35 had 5k more miles on it

 

5k more than what? 5k more than 5k is a lot, 5k more than 40k isn't much.

 

the Z had 60 on the and the G had just over 65

 

Both had the 60k mile service done? Go for the G unless the Z is a sportier model (ie with the brembos) and he wants that.

 

I previously traded my 03 g35 for my evo.. i do miss the car.. and liked it alot better than the 350.. but then again.. I had a kid and had to have a backseat..

 

I would go for the G..All about what you want...sport or flash?

 

4 seater vs 2...luxury vs sport, that's basically your deciding factors because they are basically the same car haha
