Scotty Kilmer The old commercial comes to mind. The tag line was “Pay me now or pay me later.”
We learned from you. 😀
Hey Scotty can you do a health check on my 1998 Lexus gs400 when I get back home to Houston Friday please
I think you'll love to have my baby Lexi on your page 🙂1uz- Fe VVTI power
The vq is literally one of the most realiable engines built, these cars last 200k+ with basic maintenance and can easily hold up to 500hp on the stock engine

Exactly.. my 2012 runs like a champ. I had a 03 g35 for 8 years with ZERO issues.
2008 g37 IPL- love it and never getting rid of it
Not sure where he's getting his cars... I have a used 2008 G37s which I bought in 2010 with 60k. It now has over 200k miles on it and still runs great! TO INFINITI AND BEYOND!!! 😆
I have a 2008 g35 sport 274893 original engine runs great looks great as well my dad gave it too had it for 3 years no issue
Make an "endless money pit" shirt so I can gift one to my girlfriend.

I had a horrible experience with my 1st infiniti 2009 fx35 (vq35hr) , first year (thermostat broke , evap canister broke , wheels r ticking everytime i move the car from stop or to a stop but all this is so cheap to fix , literally 30$ for all parts and labor) here the big problem i went to change spark plugs and the engine after wouldnt stop random misfires , changed coil packs , spark plugs , then vvt solenoids broke , then catalytic conv start smelling , after w while fixed all that and the car kept misfiring till i hard accelerate , after a months of driving a finiky infiniti it broke my wallet so i couldnt keep throwing money at it , till i made some and went to check timing chain tensioner , changed camshaft sensors cranshaft sensor , mass air flow sensors and throttle body which i cleaned at the time i bought the car , then the car start smdriving normally so i immediately sold it , it had 92k miles
I agree parts are expensive, but I think these are pretty reliable. I bought my first G at 104k, and now have 164k with 0 issues besides one seized caliper. Beat on it, modded it, raced it, no issues! Love this car. Also has a huge aftermarket.
DoomDash he said the transmission can’t cope with that power and you are saying you raced her ?!! And it’s now 160k miles ?!! So that’s not bad at all
Nissan makes shitty CVT's but their other trans are fine.
Rotor Blade Idk why he said they’re weak transmissions, i mean sure you cant run it up to 400+ horsepower reliably but other than that it runs like a champ
@@SourceHitIt Again just get a trans cooler. Plenty of people well over 400-500whp with autos reliably.
DoomDash I’d have to disagree with that the auto trans are not comfortable with handling alot of power, the CD009 however, is alot better at handling power and more reliable
You've saved me thousands of dollars, Scotty. How? I haven't owned a car in 5 years and every time I get tempted to buy one, I watch one of your videos and I'm cured.
Exactly, this guy's a fear monger.
@ did you ever end up getting a g35 , I currently own a g35
@ I know someone that daily drives one it’s got almost 250k miles, it’s a good car. I believe this is a bad take from Scotty
These cars are reliable. I got my 2013 with 140k. it was in poor condition but I still never had any issues with it.
@Russell, i can say that simply you missed this car, and its pretty good experience
Had my G37x for 10 years and love it.
I actually maintain mine though so it’s still mint.
This one looks like it’s never been cleaned before
Scotty is killing me with those chevy pic when he say junk yard 😂😂😂

@@dranzergigs8333 he's not wrong. They're overpriced hardware just like MacBooks.
Literally every iphone since 1 has nothing different except size, processing power and graphics. Yet people buy them each year hoping for something to change.
@@xFlared idiots lol.
ive owned 3 Infinitis (Vq35de) (Vq37Vhr)both are super reliable and never had any problems with them 200k+, this guy dont know what hes talking about.
He's talking about used... you apparently can't hear and don't listen
@@jonDoe-ml3jq hes still wrong lol this video has a clearly neglected car, so many people buy these used and if they do just the minimum in maintenance they all go 200k+ easy and many are at 300-400 even
The engine is reliable on these sure, the vq37, but sensors and ECU's fail on these things left and right.
Ive owned 3 Infiniti’s and never had a problem with them. Super reliable imo i recommend them to everyone. Is basically a nice altima. Only reason i can see it not be reliable is when the owner doesn’t take care of it. And I’ve never heard of these cars have transmission problems
As a technician and g37 owner I’ve seen quite a few bad trans but its normally user error. Young ppl flooring it everywhere it goes and not changing fluid often enough. Infiniti recommends trans fluid flush every 30,000miles. Trans cooler makes a HUGE difference keeping G’s going
I just get a trans internal kit, tighten up your mounting setup, get better wheel bearings, get a skid plate thats a snug fit, axles if you got the money, bam, that transmission will feel so much less burden from the road.
@@rinjin6547 its not about the wear from the road its more of an internal problem being that the fluid doesn’t have any way to cool and all that heat tears the trans up on longer rides. A trans cooler is pretty simple and is only like $350 and will help keep temps low. All those things u suggest most definitely would help but not cheap at all
I bought my 2006 Infiniti G35 with 121k miles in 2016 and only spent about $2500 in maintenance from when I bought it up until now. Don't listen to Scotty. They're the 3rd most reliable luxury brand behind Lexus and Acura.
I think they are more reliable and more fun to drive than those two.
I agree, Scotty just attacking Infiniti because it isn’t a Toyota or Honda
Acuras have gone to shits last 5 years.. I don't even consider most of their lines even luxury. They are cheaper than Lexus and Infiniti but you do get considerably less. But Infiniti's are also on the decline. The 2003 G35 saved the line as top luxury sedan M class is garabge. If you do keep up the maintenance, it'll last 200k plus but the maintenance itself is so expensive. Just did the 75,000 miles platinum maintenance from Infiniti and it was over $2,000.
2500 in maintaining a car is crazy.
2500$ is that suppose to sound cheap 😂 and I guess if you claim 2500 you really mean 5000
You should trademark the phrase “endless money pits”
BMW already trademarked that 😂
@Boldly's Ministry of Jesus the Christ trademark is to make it so only he can sell merchandise with the phrase endless money pit.
E.M.P...
I don’t care who’s aunt made up or “owns” this phrase 😂 y’all can’t tell me you don’t hear Scotty every time you hear it literally google that sentence “endless money pits” and first page of google has tons of Scotty Kilmer related sites 😂
That's been around since the boat was invented I don't think he can
SCOTTY: "price is high , parts are high , labor is high"
ME: " 🤣 I'm high"
Choked on my dab reading this 😂😆😂😆
No cap 😂 he ain’t sayin some
@@mikeschaner5853 same 🤣🤣
No highs no lows it must be Bose.
Thank you! Everyone swears by them not me
People who have never heard a real sound system swear by Bose!
I drove one a few years back, it was at least better than the Bose setups GM usually uses, but was definitely nothing to write home about. Bose is all about using the cheapest possible components and messing with the audio signal to try and make them sound halfway decent.
jblyon2 I have one in my Miata and I would say that I am unimpressed . Than it has some speaker impedance that only one company sells replacements for and guess what ? Over $200 each
Meh junk. Crazy how auto companies think Bose is high end for some reason. The S-class & Acura used to have Bose. Now only junk Chevy, Mazda, and Nissan have junk bose.
Crazy my 2009 g37 coupe $12000 had it for 2 years and it's the best car I've had 133'000 miles going strong
Never had any issues with my 2012 g37x with 106k and 2 track weekends under it's belt. Super reliable. Thumbs down you're completely wrong on this one
I'm with you on this one, love my G. Has some quarks, but most dependable and funnest car I've had.
2012 g37 with 86k miles. Not a single issue in the 3.5 years I have owned it.
You’re completely right 2012- and up supposedly fixed a hose issue but other than that I’ve only heard that these cars are completely reliable and can take a beating
"I can't save this car, the hoodstruts are broken!"
I think it's funny that when he reviewed an old Toyota a couple of weeks ago and the hood struts didn't work he was like so what do you expect the car is old? When the hood struts don't work on an Infiniti oh this car is a pile of junk.
It's worthless to put money into a horribly designed car.. idiots
The Toyota was twice as old and half as much. That’s why.
@@markkauffman6184 hahaha, true. He is saying a lot about the infiniti about this and that, but the car with him has no issue except for the hood strut. Also, his comment is about transmission problem is common to all buyers of used fast cars; the previous owner always toys with it and the buyer suffers for the repairs. A lot of owners of infiniti who use their car in its normal usage does not have any major issue for 7 yrs. Also, If you want a low maintenance car, the buy a model with less power and less features.
I had a 2010 G37 Sedan. I owned it since 60k miles and gave it 60k of hard driving for 4 years. The worst that happened was my belt snapped. As long as you keep up on oil changes (I did royal purple every 4000 miles) and every once in a while ( I did it every 10,000 miles because I drove the car hard) change 5 quarts of transmission fluid. As that is all that comes out because it's a sealed unit, you won't have any issues. I love Scotty but I wanted to give my perspective because G37's are not unreliable and endless money pits (at least the 2nd Gens 2010+). I drove mine for a hard 60k miles and had almost no issues, just keep up on good maintenance.
I have a friend with a 2009 G37. He's been very happy with it and says he has had no issues.
@@richardbostan4286 I think most stem from improper maintenance
2011 g37x from 20k to 100k just did front wheel bearings
Lets Play Some Games 2013 awd sedan...23k to 95k and have only had to replace a tie rod and a valve cover gasket
I have a 2013 G37xS Coupe absolutely love it, I drive pretty hard and I do all my scheduled maintenance which costs money but I've been trouble free minus a sunroof drainage gasket. I love the car and definitely not an endless money pit. Yes parts are expensive but thats what you expect w a luxury vehicle otherwise buy a Carolla that simple. I disagree with him, 20,000 + trouble free miles from 70,000 miles.
185,000 on my g35 and still running strong. Fell in love with infiniti so much I'm upgrading to a g37 and one day a q60🤷♂️
I have a 2006 M35 Sport with 290k miles I purchased in 2008 with 38k. Its been nearly flawless. Here are the things I have had to replace, radiator replaced with an aftermarket for $85 replaced 100k miles ago, camshaft position sensors over 100K ago with aftermarket sensors, and a starter at 145k. I replaced the coil packs at 175k but they were working fine and didn't really need replaced. This car has been bulletproof. I DRIVE this car. I maintain it with regular oil changes (Mobile1) and it keeps running perfectly. Transmission has been perfect. I have changed wear items like brakes, wipers and spark plugs, tires, etc. that every car needs.
I have owned two Infiniti's, the other was a 2008 EX35 AWD, also flawless for over 150K. That one never needed anything besides oil changes. I am getting a QX70 for my next vehicle. I am not sure how these customers of his maintains their vehicles but I have only had excellent experiences with Infiniti. Have others in my extended family that have them also with no issues. I know several people with Infiniti's besides these I mentioned and none have had issues. If you don't maintain any vehicle it will let you down eventually.
Nissan/Infiniti messed up with the CVT's, will not own one of them.
If these cars had a Toyota badge on them they would be the best cars ever according to Scotty.... lol.
Love your channel Scotty.
You're absolutely correct. I have a 07 M35 that I purchased used with 134k miles on it in 2014 and never had any (major) problems with it til now. It has a blown head gasket. when I change my oil I would use a oil flush and it ate up the gasket. But Iam ok with it. I got it up to 340k. May try and fix it myself. But will buy another one just no oil flush.
Greatest car I’ve ever owned
I have a 2007 G35x with 203k miles bought it 3 Years ago with 163k. Only issue I ever had was the alternator went out. Besides that car works great no leaks no burning oil. Fast car I love it
I owned 3. Two were used the other was new. I've had very good luck with them.
Its not luck, the G is s great car 😀
@@davidbrowne9984 facts Scotty doesn't know what he's talking about
I just bought a g35s . It needs some tlc but so far so good .
I have 2007 infinity g35 original engine and transmission with 260k still running great
ever had to change the galley gaskets ?
I wonder how many other items u had to repair to keep it running
You a such a lier .
Just wait a few more years. It's coming, and it will be expensive.
@Antonio Marte my uncle also has Infiniti with similar mileage, these thing are very reliable.
Ive had my 2005 Infiniti G35 6 speed for 9 years and yes they do have minor problems but nothing major, transmission is bulletproof in my experience.
What sort of problems have you had so far
Disagree with Scotty on this one. These vehicles are reliable, durable and well built. The VQ motors and 7 speed trans are high mileage reliable units. Overall very solid vehicles. Sorry Scotty.
I don’t know maaaaan, never met anyone with problems on these. Only problem mines had was power steering fluid but that was fixed. Just make sure your maintenance dues are done
And ive never heard anyone complain of that transmission failing without Turbocharging the engine
@behexen250 what im talking about is when people turbo charge for 450+hp thats when the tranny breaks but go look up online for people complaining about this 7speed breaking on a stock car

@@atx-cvpi_99 ironic. the republican state has the most government controlling cars...and the highest sales tax
Indonesia is here for you
I have no clue why some people say the trans (7at) is bad. Yes, its somewhat sluggish when driving normally, but in sport mode it shifts pretty quick for what it is and is just as reliable as the motor when under 450 hp.
Second infiniti now, very reliable. Only second one had cat problem that was replaced under warranty free of charge . These cars have higher reliability ratings than most other cars out there. I've seen many hitting 300k miles and no major issues.

I second This
Every car can have issues, I have a 2012 g37 bought it with 51k miles now it has 120k+ on it no issues. I have dont all maintenance myself. All oil changes at 4k-6k Royal purple. I've dont the transmission fluid twice and dif fluid twice. I have replace brakes like 3 time and upgraded my rotors. I've cleaned the throttle bodies a few times along with the mass air flow sensor. I've changed all fluids also brake fluid, power steering and antifreeze just to keep them fresh. I've also changed all my coolant hose replaced them with silicone hoses
I just got my 2011g37x should I change the transmission fluid it has 87,568 miles 🤔

You'd change your mind if you would have bought the 3.5 or 3.7.
DO IT, DO IT NOW!
G25 would be the one to keep, less torque through the gearbox, less stress on equipment overall. It still has 220hp so not underpowered in the least.
2008 G35x sole owner - 180k+ miles... great car to drive... Cost to service and repair is the only complaint apart from low gas mileage which is to be expected with this type of car. Literally drove this car from the East Coast to the West Coast, and havent had any major problems... Here's to another 10 years.... Literally sold the car a week after this post after transmission problems...
Manual or Automatic? What did the transmission start doing?
The VQ is legendary. My folks have a 2010 EX35 SUV, it has been bulletproof. About 170K miles, only this year had to replace the radiator. First repair ever. 5 speed automatic in that model, which are notoriously good, at least as far as Nissan goes. The VQ35 is just a sweetheart of an engine. Theirs has 300 HP. A year or 2 before the 3.7.

I’ve owned my 2010 G37 base model, got it at 30k miles. I’ve had if since 2013, and now has 140k and it’s still runs like a champ! I’ve down all the basic maintenance, it’s recently done the spark plugs and cleaned the throttle bodies, and it feels like a new car. So yes, if you buy a used car, be sure to fully inspect it to verify it’s a good buy.
Hello I bought a used 2013 g37. Wont work after 1 month. Have you e er heard of the computer going out.
I bought my 2005 G35X Sedan with 120K! It had 320K on it when I got rid of it 10 years later!
With minimal maintenance!
Besides oil change, brakes and valve cover gaskets!
I had 2005 and 2006 FX45 a 2011 FX35, 2008 G37 and a 370Z with the VQ and they were some of the best cars I've owned.
I got a g35 with 214k but i baby it haven't had any issues
That matters little.
@@wpgspecb my 2009 g37 coupe , 133,000 miles runs perfectly nothing besides regular maintenance. And trust me I do not baby it.
@@wpgspecb One matters little, the actual hundreds of infiniti owners commenting that Scotty is wrong? That matters a lot.
@@BigHeadClan holy reviving a thread batman.
Damn Scotty shows no mercy, now he's bringing phone brands into the mix lmao
I got a 2007 G35X fully loaded that I bought used three years ago with 99,980 miles. I never have had any issues whatsoever. My car runs great and I now have 142,000+ miles on it. Sounds great, lots of power and handles like a dream. The interior is perfect with no cracks or discoloration to the leather, AC dual climate control also good and it shifts smoothly in between gears. Hope it continues that way, as I am now a bit nervous that it will start giving problems and falling apart. I know Scotty is partial to Lexus' but I think Infinities are just as good.
07 G35 same design as this 230k miles only thing I’ve ever done is replace the AC. Have driven the heck out of it, done plenty of donuts in it, floor it a couple times a week for last 7 years. Solid car
I’d had have to disagree Scotty, I had a 2005 Infiniti FX35 3.5L V6 with the 5 speed and the tech package owned it since it was new and all I can say was positive things about it beautiful car the paint holds up amazing tranny and engine are still very strong. The interior does crack after intense sun which we can get in Southern California. But boy it was a dream to drive amazing handling and speed an absolutely perfect freeway cruiser especially since it was a SUV. At 137k miles I do have a few issues just replaced all the wearables... tires, brakes, timing belt, starter... etc. Needs new fuel sensor and does have a small valve cover leak. But it has ran very well with few issues. Oh and AC STILL BLOWS ICE COLD!
such an infiniti hater I don't know maybe it's something about houston scotty? I live in california and I know of at least 6 infiniti's with over 150k all automatics and some manuals with over 200k.
Scotty I love your videos and yes we understand that you love Toyota's and cheap to maintain vehicles! I rarely see a mechanic with a fancy expensive car!
Though I have had two G's:
- 2007 G35X ran that to 265k miles with zero engine or transmission problems
- 2013 G37XS Appearance Edition currently with 125k miles without a single problem (knock on wood).
I think you failed to mention the cars 3 major downsides:
- Headlights fade after 5 years
- You will need to service your brakes once a year (heavy car with small brake system)
- Throttle bodies get dirty causing the car to feel sluggish (service depending on how hard you drive the car, motorvate diy RUclips channel has a great DIY on this... if you have the 2007 model do not do this at home there is a software update for 2008+ that allows the ECU to relearn the throttle body position, some 2007 cars depending on the month it was manufactured needs to be done at a dealer).
I live in the North East and drive this vehicle EXTREMELY hard (as the car wants to be driven) as long as you keep it clean, oil change every 5k, transmission every 60k, and you watch your fluid levels i.e. Power Steering, Coolant the car is an absolute joy to own.
Funny I technically have the same cars. a 2003 G35 with 290k miles - almost no problems and a 2012 G37xS with 120k no problems.
One thing I must say! My 2013 G37x is the most fun car I have ever driven, hands down. Solid engine and transmission, fast, sports handling, and this is coming from someone who also own 2016 ES350 and my previous cars were Acura TL and ILX. But yes it needs more pampering then an Acura or Lexus. As long as you know a thing or two about fixing cars, it's worth it. And Scotty is right, I have already replaced the complete exhaust system for rust along with cat at 55k(NY, MI weather), clock spring at 85k.
By the way parts aren't much expensive then Lexus or Acura.
(My first car was an early 90s stick shift santra and it would not die no matter what, finally had to give it away because dealer won't pay anything for it since it had 200k+ miles on it)
As a Canadian experiencing winter currently, my RWD G35 is incredibly good in the winter. VDC is the real hero, not me.
Scotty talks about the option of going to a junk yard to get the part(s) you need....what picture is showing in the video feed....A Chevy dealership....LMAO!!!!.....I love it : )
2012 M37x owner here with 130k miles and no actual issues. I use redline 5W30 full synthetic oil and all the top of the line products and it drives like it’s brand new. Take care of these VQ’s and they’ll take care of you
I have a an 2008 Infiniti G37s Coupe 6MT.
Bought with 120k , put 23k miles on it.
Replaced my clutch with an Stage 1 Action Clutch. K&n air filters for better air intake compared to the stock paper ones. I use shell v-power for my fuel keeps my injectors clean. Haven’t had an issue with the car. BTW I did a full 120k miles maintance when I bought it. Which was changing out spark plugs, manual gear liquid , differential fluid, etc etc all liquids got replaced . Since then it’s been great!
The weather is stormy daniels @ Houston TX
Loose and Saggy?
It's an Infiniti alright. Thanos hid his infinity stones in plain sight next to the seat heater switches @7:34. 😄
I bought a 2008 G37 Journey with the 5 speed rear wheel configuration! Absolutely NO issues whatsoever! basic maintenance only is all that's needed! I baby mine, live in Brooklyn, NY and do have a private parking facility nearby! Iv;e only got 29,000 original miles (all mine) but for a 15 year old vehicle she stills drives like new,...just barely broken in actually! The gas mileage is another thing but, seeing as electric charging stations are few and far between and impossible to setup unless you have a private garage attached or integral to your home, it seems as though my life will still involve internal combustion!
Man i have mad respect for you scotty.. Great mechanic and person that actually helps ALOT of us out
Those Nissan V6 engine were awarded on Wards Auto 6 years in a row. Mine has 430K km, no issues.
Sheesh 430k km’s? Damn.
My g37 is almost 92,000 miles and I drive it fast but take care of it and the only problem It have had is that there's no problems at all and I have seen some people driving it at 200,000 like new 🤷♂️
Those 🐱 pictures popping up for the cat converter had me laughing... Scotty I love you man..
Idk if you will read this.. But God had a smile on his face when he cut you out... For sure
Find the G37S model of this car with a 6 speed manual, then its pretty decent
When using rock auto for parts, i looked for the pressure hose he talked about, they have about 10 of them from all different makers. They start at $13.05 (yes thirteen dollars) for sunsong pressure hose all the way to almost 200 for the ac Delco beans ones
Sunsong is quality, too
Hey Scotty; I got the power steering hose for $100; plenty of aftermarket for those and had it installed for two years without leaks. I'd say the only thing I'm worried about would be the infamous gallery gasket
Just did that repair...
@@jwilliams5857 Tell us more. I am debating doing this JOB.
@@e30m31989 It's not bad, just time consuming because of all the stuff you have to take off to get to it.
Update*** currently at 252,000km (157,000 miles). Galley Gasket seems to be holding and car has stayed reliable
I’ve got an 07 Infiniti M35 with 125k miles on it and it still runs like a Rolex. I bought it at 105k miles 3 years ago and I’ve seen no signs whatsoever that anything is starting to go bad or wear out. Maybe I just got a really good one, maybe the original owner took especially good care of it or maybe some kind of horribly expensive failure is right around the corner. Whatever it is, it has been a great car for the 3 years that I’ve owned it and I don’t want to jinx myself or anything but I could easily see this car going another 80k with no problems. I probably need to replace the front struts pretty soon but of course that’s basically universal for any high mileage car.
I wouldn’t really recommend buying G35’s or G37’s used, particularly the coupes, because most of the people who bought those drove the hell out of them. They’re basically just a fancier, more luxurious version of a 350Z or a 370Z. The original owner of my M35 was an older woman so I doubt she was taking sharp corners at 50mph and taking off after red lights. Buying cars from older people is definitely the way to go.
I bought a 2008 G35x with 137,000 miles on it and now has 145. Had to replace a ball joint and sway bar links and your right about parts being pricey but worth it for me because I got an awesome deal on the car and I love it. Other than that, awesome car!
That Infinity sounds like my GM!
Is 100,000 miles considered "high mileage" today ? When I was younger, that would've been considered high mileage...
I was just watching some video and u popped up randomly. I began watching some videos of yours and I actually learned quite a bit. I definitely subbed 2 ur channel.👍👍
My 2004 has 178k miles running like a champ. Only have replaced the radiator and the normal maintenance
I work on infiniti as a master tech and I'll agree the parts are unreasonably expensive and the cars with the CVT break the transmission left and right. I have to say almost all of our engines are pretty reliable and I've seen countless G's and similar 2000s models with well over 160k miles still going strong.
Is there anyway to contact you for advice since your a master tech?
Why is infiniti still using Jatco (Crapco) cvt and cvt in general after Carlos got fired ??? That's why I stopped buying nissan
Scotty clearly has had his fair share of infiniti horror stories lol a lot like altima drivers g37 drivers are just different these days and don't take care of their cars. My 2012 g37xs is a dream to drive only problem I've had is a sunroof drain keep it stock, take care of her and she'll last...infiniti
What to look for in VQ engines and other g35/350z in no order 1. oil burning piston rings (DE versions) 2. Oil "consumption" (DE versions) get oil catch can 3. sensors (crank positions and cam position) 4. Replace radiator with aluminum radiator (plastic tanks crack) 5. check timing chain galley gasket behind cover 6. ignition coils failure (replace them).7. worn lower control arm bushings (replace both left and right side)
I've had 2 G35s and now a Q50 all used and they are great cars. All used cars come with issues, my Q50 has rattling cats but that's an easy fix with test pipes.
My first car was an 04 g35 never had any problems 210000 miles!
for EVERY car he warns about-there are "lottery winner" buyers
It's as simple as pure luck.
It’s not luck I had one to and never broke down, did maintenance and drove
I had an 04 as well with 160k before I sold it, never left me stranded or had major issues
I have an 04 with 147,000 trouble free miles so it's good to hear it isn't just a fluke. I need mine to last at least another 6 or 7 years.
You go to a junkyard *shows chevy dealership* lmao
Cracks me up every time
This is one someone trashed. We have a 2011 FX35 AWD and it has 200k miles and we drive it EVERYWHERE. But we maintain it. Interior looks newish. Gets compliments. The most reliable vehicle we have ever owned and we bought it used.
I think the trick is to buy a well maintained one. Many g37 are beat up
