The 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe was the first year for the all new model, which was replaced by the G37.
G35 vs 350Z - both are mechanically similar
G35 Infiniti 2 doors - G35 Infiniti coupes, sometimes called coupe G35 are perhaps the single best value of any performance car in the world.

@@pushhrodd01 and??
Very informative 👏
"in 3 minutes, you'll be an expert"
video's 18 minutes.
I don't know when to shut up.
I just got an 07 g35x and out of all the vids I've binged, Joe is pretty much my favorite Infiniti guy. He's selling me a car without trying to sell me a car. 👍
everyone has something to say, most like this comment, are useless
@@everycarSeattle This is why you're in Sales. I have the same problem. I sell Insurance LOL :)
Great video! I just bought a mint condition 2005 G35 Coupe. I've never owned an Infiniti before. This was super helpful in knowing what to look for on an older car. Thanks for the heads up about the clutch!
This is the best car review if all time! He articulated EVERY LITTLE DETAIL and he didn't skip a beat! And then he dipped outta the video like a true boss😂 I'm buying a G and I'm definitely contacting this man!!
Bruh this is the most straight up and honest sales guy I've seen, he sounds like he'll tell it to you straight up no BS 🤯👍🏽
I would buy a car from you with my eyes closed!!!
+miguel fernandez G35's are pretty easy to sell, especially coupes...especially '05's. They really are great cars!
I've watched this video 5 or 6 times over the past few years and I'm impressed every time I see it. You are the most knowledgeable and informative car salesman I've ever seen. Thank you for all the tips and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Marcus, that means a lot!
Thanks for all the tips Joe. You've been a great help. You seem like a great manager, hope business goes well for you.
Best car review informat I've ever seen! Awesome, thanks! Saw Bob Dylan in concert he used your exit, band kept playing he just left the stage.

I'm so glad I found this video. been looking to get a G35 for my first car and this has been such a great video for my research.
This has always been my dream car ever since I heard the engine growl. I like how you give the history of the car and what to look for in different cars.

Great video. Very helpful. I am glad you didn't stop at three minutes. Thank you.
You know your stuff man wow!
I really appreciate when a car salesman is honest like this guy, makes me buy with confidence I learned a lot from your video thank you. Subscribed
Very informative video Joe, I can tell your passionate about this. I thought it was particularly badass how you got out of the car and walked away with doors open and engine running lol. This is a great video though. I myself am in the market and feel a bit more confident on my hunt, thanks.
This guys just to damn awesome :D
yea I know!
I know this was uploaded in 2014, but I still watch this for the upkeep/ maintenance tips. The scratched up bolt, the paint difference, the spoiler lights, the WD-40 on belt, cost of G35 clutch fix. Holy crap I learned so much.
Thank you so much for taking a look Block o Butter, I appreciate it!
A few years late to see this video.. fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Ku Kicks, I appreciate you taking a look!
Got my G for $4k with 150k a year ago. She likes oil but runs like a champion. Love no car payments
14 years later and it's still gorgeous
20 years from now it will be as important (and collectible) as a Honda S2000.
Very useful info. Thank you, sir!
I appreciate you taking a look. Thank you for your feedback!
Wow man!!!! Great video and learned a Ton. Thinking about getting myself an 05 g35 and man i wish i could have someone as knowledgeable and cool as you when i plan on when i go to the dealership

Always wanted one since it first came out. Now, I'm looking at getting into a used one so this is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and advice.
Thanks for taking a look Michael, I appreciate it. G35's are even more desirable than when I made this video, just make sure to get a buyer's inspection at the Infiniti dealer before you pull the trigger.
Great video, Joe. Straight to the point and great things to look out for. Especially when it comes to replacing the clutch...yikes 2 grand!
I love my 2005 to death and just set aside the money I know I'll spend someday...and if that day never comes I'll do something fun with the money instead.
My first g35 coupe was $6,999 in 2013 and it was in perfect shape with 115,000 miles, if the car was well kept these can be very reliable
KayScotts That's a great buy. You could sell that car 2 years after you bought it and turn a profit. There aren't too many cars you can say that about. But it also sounds like you know what you're doing negotiating a deal.
I just got mine for $6,300 99k miles its an 04
Just got a 04 6 speed with every package you can get 6/MT, nav, aero, premium package sunroof/bose system, wheels with the Brembo brakes, and every receipt and record on the car since he bought it for 50k+ new, one owner, 50k miles, for 7500
Excellent video, I bought the same coupe (over here in New Zealand it's called Nissan Skyline 350GT). you were absolutely right about everything you mentioned in the video.
You have an awesome car! Thank you so much for checking in A H, I appreciate it!
Thank you for the information! This made my day
+joseph trumbo Take a test drive in a G35 coupe and you'll wonder how they aren't the most popular car in America.
Very informative review from a highly qualified reviewer. Thank you for all the tips, Joe. I did make the purchase and your video validates or at least gives me the confidence that I made the right decision.
Awesome choice Alantek8. How has your ownership experience been so far?
Hey buddy thank you so much for all this information
Hi Joe,
You know your product. I owned a 2005 G35 and drove it (hard) to over 200K miles - loved it. My GF and I now both drive G37s here is South Florida. Excellent cars. Great presentation, thanks!
You have excellent taste and I appreciate the nice words!
Great video. You are like an encyclopedia for g35 coupes.
Matthew I think it is the single best value in the sports car market. Plus I've had one for 10 years. And I was the manager at an Infiniti dealer for 10 years. But I really do love the car, have sold many to my friends and neighbors and can't think of a single car with better resale value.
I think I just saved myself from a really bad headache. Excellent video.
Thanks Robert, I appreciate you taking a look!
Great video! Love the tips

Old video but the information is golden. Joe knows his Infiniti 🔥
This guy is so good I'd almost travel to WA to buy an Infiniti from him (and I live in CO)
Ironically I just got a job with Amazon so I will be moving to somewhere near Kirkland :)
Man this guy is the best. He's the real deal. I wish he worked at my Infiniti Dealer.
I normally don't comment on youtube videos, but this video is full of useful information and well made. Thanks so much!

Great Job Joe!
Good point noting the clutch on manuals. For me its real important to check the quality of installed clutch on any manual car. And if it even feels anything less than smooth throughout the gear range both standing and on the road, I walk away cause I seriously do not want to deal with replacing a clutch.
+Asad the great That's a great observation Asad. Every shopper can use a little reminder that it is perfectly fine to just walk away, especially if everything isn't exactly up to your standards. It's your money, you worked your ass off for it, you are perfectly entitled to want what you want, in the condition you want, for the price you want to pay.
everycarSeattle I agree. in the past I have walked from many cars if they were short of my expectation. Now I go in with reasonable expectations but sometimes the seller can be out to lunch on price and condition.
One guy tried to sell me a pretty pricey vehicle on which he was firm on price but the car had series number paint chips on the hood. I knew that most body shops for the number of chips that would have to be fixed on that car would easily cost me like $1000 to fix and it was something that had to be done. I told the guy but he was like the repair is not necessary and I told him to keep his car.
Wow amazing video! Thanks for the review!
Thank you so much Sebastian, I appreciate it!
I want to be an Infiniti salesman now and wish to be trained by Joe! I looked at an 06 today, I will look at the same 06 tomorrow under a whole new enlightened...light lol! Thank you Joe!
Glad I could help Thunderpant...p.s, a bust-your-ass Infiniti salesperson can reasonably expect to make $80,000 in their first year and $100,000+ thereafter. It's a good gig. Thanks for taking a look and good luck with the '06!
Thank you, I am from the pawn industry and now in banking. I am an auto enthusiast and have always wanted to have a go at it. In Washington State you could probably make $250,000 selling those Subaru's LoL!
Im 17 and few days from buying my first car! 2004 infiniti g35 sport coupe. Super excited! These videos makes me that much more excited :D
im 22 looking at one with 98k 11.6$ one owner clean carfax. Cant wait.

hey Joe great video and very informative I love your g35 videos! I've been looking at g35 coupes in the last 6-8 weeks. I finally found one with decent miles for a low price, 79k for 8k. Is it worth it if(when) i have to replace the clutch.
Amaury De Jesus If you factor the clutch into the deal then yes, it's a smart buy. I just hate hearing about when people buy a G and the clutch feels good so they pass on getting it inspected only to get a huge unexpected bill.
Super Info packed advice bro! you know ur stuff!
Thank you so much Skip, I appreciate you taking a look!
Does an infiniti buyer's inspection check the clutch wear? I'm looking at a 2005 g35 with 152k miles and I'm worried about the clutch. I'm close to Issaquah and could probably even go to your dealership. Thanks!
Awesome!!! This guy is the best!! great Video!!!

Old video, but I'm a Nissan/Infiniti long time guy, and in the market for a G35 (350GT! Lol) Coupe. This was an extremely helpful and informative review!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks
Tee bro! Take it from GT 350 that your south of the cross ( Aussie )
Mate, if only I were selling mine then instead of now, but I don't want to, I'm being forced to by bad life choices. DOH!!
I just picked up a 2005 sport thanks so much for this video Joe! Gonna call my local Infinity to get it's service history.
What a great car Design Bureau...you are going to LOOOOOVE it!
@@everycarSeattle I do! I took your advise and took it to my local Infiniti Dealer and had them do the 160+ item check ($125 and worth it) on it and they found some small issues most I can fix myself (lower control arm for example).
It was a nice experience... they treated me as if I bought a new car from them... after the check up they even washed the car which was awesome.
All in all what a fantastic car. Thanks again you give great advice. Stay safe!
very informative video . Learned a thing or two
Thank you so much for the nice words Jon! Now that we are in Hawaii, we are re-launching the channel in just a few weeks...so hopefully we'll have some great new stuff for you.
This is a really exceptional summary. Thanks, Joe.
Thank you jvburnes, I appreciate you taking a look!
@@everycarSeattle Hey Joe. Quick question. I'm looking at used Nissans with high miles like the the G35 and the Maxima all which have the 3.5 V6, but I'm concerned because that particular engine seems to have issues with timing chain guides failing and the crazy expenses involved. Opinions?
Joe are you still working here?
How can you go wrong? 9k...Amazing Deal!!!
I am planning on buying a 2008 g37. I found one online but it is labeled as base, yet on the pictures the back of the car shows it has a red S for sport. can they fake the S, as in attach one? if so how can i know if the car is G37S or G37?
great vid!
He said dont trip on the cracked seats lol he has my respect
Very intelligent & honest bloke, well done with the video
Thank you so much for the kind words A Taylor...I appreciate you taking a look!
I know you said u work for infiniti and I been watching your videos for some time now I have a question about my 12 infiniti m37x. I tried to put in led lights in my dome light it was the wrong ones and did not fit now the dome light wont come on when i open the door but work when pushed manually have any idea what the problem could be?
did I burnout the circuit for that because i replaced the room lamp fuse still does not work.
Guy is on Point, knows his Craft,
Passionate Infinti Guru
Thank you so much Anthony...have an awesome 2020!
Great video! I would love the detailed service report for my 2006 g35, where can i message you the vin? Thanks!
You wasn't lying about the radio information,or any after market insulation ,I had a after market stereo and a automatic remote start installed,on my coup now when I lock doors and and don't start car for a couple days I have battery drain issues
Thank you for this amazing video. Just bought a '04 G35x, 99,000km (61,515 miles) for $7,000 CAD / $5,547 USD. Been a great experience so far. Clean CarReport (supposedly better than CarFax but, as mentioned here, I take that with a grain of salt). There are small rust spots (2 inch) on the metal door separator between the front and back and some dinks and light scratches here and there. Still nothing at all to stop me from buying this car at that price.
I have already taken it to a local Infiniti Dealer to replace the battery. They did their full diagnostic check (forget what it's called approx $140) and it was void of issues, which was great to hear. I will ask for that history report ASAP as I appreciate you giving the heads up on that.
As this car is amazing and I want to keep it for a long time - My question is more about the best approach to maintenance. I should get the rust spots treated (does it matter if it's Infiniti or not for such a small cosmetic fix) Regular oil changes? Follow the service schedule? It all seems simple but any other pointers would be appreciated!
Jason Amaro Reinert You made a great buy. That car will be worth more than half of what you paid for it 10 years from now. You're cost per month in the end will be almost nothing and you git a used car nicer than most new cars. As for the rust, I'd get that treated by a body shop, it will keep the car from looking really bad several years from now. Do the regular maintenance just as Infiniti suggests. I've seen so many G's with over 300,000 kilometers it's silly. But they all have 1 thing in common, great service records. Congratulations on a great buy!
Very happy with it so far and it's great to hear it so reliable - I was actually first looking for a 200 4/5 TL but after researching that car - it eventually became apparent that this was the gem of that era - it's however far exceeded my expectations. In regards for the Infiniti intranet records of the car - they said they couldn't due to privacy laws. Guess it might be a little different here in Canada.
everycarSeattle when looking to purchase a 2003 or 2004 what is the major differences of the two?
Hey! You are awesome Joe! I am looking into purchasing an Infiniti G35 Coupe 2004-2005. How much, on average, would it cost to maintain the car if it has and will be done on a scheduled basis? Also, midway through the video you said that certain parts of the car need to be replaced in the car after a certain amount of miles with one part regarding the water valve. Is this true for both manual and automatic transmission cars or just manual? I remember you mentioning problems occurring with the clutch in the manual car so I am not sure if parts need to be replaced for both or just manual. Thank you for your time! +everycarSeattle +nicecarsandnicehousesonSeattle'sEastside
+Matthew Adams The 2005 is a revised body style with lots of differences, especially in the interior. I personally have an '05. Clutches are ridiculously expensive in G35's, but a dealer can tell you how much life you should expect when you get your pre-sale buyer's inspection, which is a must. The 6 speed will always be worth more than the A/T. so that's something to consider. There is no timing belt in a G35 so you don't have to worry about that, but there is a water pump which typically gets replaced around 100k, as do the spark plugs and typically the suspension bushings as well. Brakes are expensive and tend to wear out sooner than other sports cars, so make sure you know how much life is remaining. BOSE cd players are notorious for eating your cd's, so check that out. Overall, the quality of a properly maintained G35 is amazing, but they're old enough now where that "properly maintained" part is a big deal.
My respect ! I'm amazed.
Seriously amazing cars . I personally like the sedans for the luxury and sport I get at the same time
I really enjoy watching your content, your presentation of the vehicle is so comprehensive and easy to understand without coming off as a scummy douchebag compared to some other reviewers on RUclips.
Fill the front seat with brillo pads ? What ?!
Joe bro!! Mate, even today you are reaching out to the people with this video!
I have been a car nut since 15yrs old ( but have progressed to a stud!! Boom boom) owning 11.5sec Aussie muscle to Dato 120 Bs but just recently was the lucky recipient of a GT 350 Skyline Coupe Primium (Aussie but 100% same car) through circumstances that were not of my choice and as such new nothing of these vehicle's.
So I start to look at what I've been landed with, well the progression was swift giving me an appetite for info, is this car to be believed?
Everything is telling me it's to good to be true there for it is but I have to follow through until I satisfied that my trusted and learnt saying was provin but nothing on the internet was giving a clear indication frustrating me no end!!
Then the jewel in the crown 👑 Your video!! that while the most informative it wasn't that aspect of your video that gave me the realisation that I have come across a to good to be true vehicle judging it against the standard of all other vehicles.
You reminded me of what's important when valuing a car and what determines value when making a purchase, trust in what is right in front of your eyes and what it is telling you without prejudice, so thanks mate!!
That said, WHAT A GREAT CAR!!
Best secret in Aussie and those who mostly know of it are Skyline purists snobs that see it for what it means to them, something that doesn't justify their purchase and ownership of their vehicles.
They do check the clutch, Paul Ressler, in fact it is one of the first things they check since it's so expensive to replace.
+everycarSeattle how is the clutch 2k? what stage is it
Have u done a video on a Ford Mustang 2005+?
i like how what you said benefits many used car purchases
lenny brooks I appreciate that. Thanks for taking a look.
lenny brooks Take a look at the latest video for the G35 ruclips.net/video/TdCouQzmseY/видео.html and check out the left side of the road at 6:45 into the video.
i have a question, why is the engine cover red when the car is an automatic. It is well known that the red color v6 engine cover signifies that the car is a manual transmission g35 .
Very informative, great tips
Thanks John, I appreciate you taking a look. Have a very happy New Year's Day!
thank you so much!
Great video.
I found a 2005 G35 going for $4,800 it has 165,000 miles would it be a good buy?
Hey man how do I reach you to have my vin checked for service records on my 2006 Infiniti g35 coupe?
you really want better tires on the front. since the front wheels do all the braking and steering. its better to have some wheel spin on acceleration than not enough grip when turning or braking.
Thanks for making this video, Joe. It definitely helped me with my purchase. I live in Seattle, and was wondering if you happen to remember the name of the upholstery shop that does the brillo seat fix you mentioned? I'd love to give them my business.
His name is Gary and he owns Color Masters which visits dealers around Kirkland and Bellevue..If I'm not mistaken, his number is (425) 681-9355. If that doesn't work, I'm sure Infiniti of Bellevue still uses him. He's the best interior guy on the Eastside (or any other side) period.
Awesome, thanks!
hey Joe I live in PA and bought my 1st G35 back in Aug '13 from New Jersey. Depending on the area and state prices fluctuate. Mines an 06 G35 Coupe Auto. had 74k and Paid 17k. Absolutely love the car and always wanted one. Realized 1wk later I could of had a 07 with 54k for 14.5k. That always happens. lol
Thomas Pengilly Hang on to that car long enough Thomas and it will be worth more than 17 grand. G35's are certain to become collector cars in the future. You did just fine on that '06.
" if your looking to attach a spoiler bring it to the dealer, dont bring it to some weekend warrior" lmaoo
That's really important Hakeem...you have to replace the rear speaker panel and re-wire the brake lights to relocate the third brake light into the spoiler or else the spoiler blocks the interior third brake light and you can get pulled over and have a very expensive fix it ticket.
He knows his cars 👍🏻
Hi Joe, awesome video! Thank you for all the advice.
I'm wondering if I can ask you couple questions abt a G35 I just spotted. It is a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe manual 6-speed car with 99750 miles asking for 7500. here are the owner's description:
- New transmission package!
- New breakpads AND rotors! - original Brembo rotors included
- Oil-servicing has been conducted using Platinum synthetic within the recommended mile-points.
- Two new tires / Other 2 tread @ half-life and should last another year or so.
Now I'm no expert on cars, so do you think this is a good deal? and as far as the transmission goes, is this a good transmission/clutch? Or how should i inspect the transmission/clutch when I go test drive it? and other parts like breaks?
Is there a website where i can look up the car's services by using the vin number?
Thank you very much!
+steven yang Awesome deal, just make sure you get a buyer's inspection at the Infiniti dealer. But the deal is a great deal.
Oh god, that aftermarket alarm thing is so true, at least from my experience.
My grandma bought a new accord back in 1993. Accords are known for being reliable, but god, that alarm she put in it fucked it up so much. It always had problems, and the older the car got, the worse the electrical problems became. It got to the point where we couldn't even start the car because the alarm wouldn't fully disarm, and unfortunately (for us, not for anyone else), the company that installed the alarm went out of business, so we couldn't have it properly serviced.
KerryInTheNameOf At least 1 in 4 serious problems I have ever encountered on an older car have had something to do with an aftermarket alarm.

What's your opinion on the automatic and manual versions of this? Are the differences to the performance significant?
The 6 speed coupe is about as perfect a car as there is. Everything about the 6 speed maximizes performance and connection to the driving experience. The automatic is great and it's a great car with an automatic, but the 6 speed is a different experience altogether.
