My parents have an 05 G35 Sedan premium package, fully loaded except for Nav, it's got 100,000 miles. They are thinking about trading it in on an 04 LS V8 with 36,000 miles and paying the $3000 difference. Although it has 100k it's almost all highway miles and the car has been maintained by me, with full synthetic fluids throughout the motor, tranny and diff. The LS is at the dealership I work at, it's in the service right now getting the AC fixed and that was the only thing wrong with it. What do you guys think? The cost is $13,900 for the LS...
Trading in 05 G35 Sedan for 04 LS V8?

I go with an LS... G35s suck!
plus Lincoln should be less costly to repair than the Infiniti

Pete, you dumbass.
G35's do not suck, they are nice cars and very reliable and by no means the Lincoln's are not cheaper to repair.
If they really liked the G35, I'd shop around for maybe a newer one with less miles. However, that LS has good mileage on it for a 2004. That LS will have the coil warranty on it so that is a plus but you will never see the LS hold its value well like the G35.
The LS is a great car when in perfect running condition but when they act up, it makes you want to drive it off a bridge.
What color is the car? Package level?

G for sure, ive wanted one for so long but cant find one in good enough condition in a price range i can afford. the sedans are sick, the coupes are nice too but wouldnt fit in with the family and all my tools for work. keep the infiniti or find a newer one like mentioned above.

not a dumbass, i just hate infiniti's. oddly enough that i like nissan, but hate infiniti's
That price is on the high side for an 04. I was reading on the forum about 06's going for around that price. Since you work there, see if you can dig up what they gave someone for a trade in value. Then offer 1-2K more than that.
That makes a lot of sense because they are the same damn car company. Instead of crapping on this man's thread why can't you offer insight like others have? Instead you say "G35's suck"
Shouldn't you be massaging a man's inner-thigh right now? Jackass.

+1
another +1
A third +1. I like the LS and wouldn't take a G35 over it. A newer G37 is a different story. That price on the LS isn't that bad considering the mileage but they will still probably be upside down on it next year if they finance the whole thing.
True. Mine has 14K(had 9600 miles when I got it in December) and has needed the DVVC replaced and 5 coils.

You know... I don't really care what you guys do with Pete, what with giving him crap all the time. After all, he is our (love him or hate him) resident troll. Sorry pete....
The guy is a masseuse. This is his chosen career path. I don't understand why everyone's riding him so much for it.
I bet he gets more female ass than most of us here. Chicks love masseuses.
But by all means, you guys shouldn't don't stop giving him a hard time over other stuff. But when you have to resort to making fun of someone's job... That's kinda low.

don't really care too much for the g35's, but I wouldn't trade it in for an LS especially not an 04. Not sure how things are out there but they could probably find an 05/06 LS with slightly higher miles for around that price. Them no likey the G35 no more?
agree, I would not mind that job myself, depending on where you work and if you outside jobs you can make a nice living off of feeling up some chicks. Unfortionately you have to touch some dudes but eh, money is money. Got a friend who does it, makes $1500 a week atleast working independently.

+Infiniti Frogman I could kiss ya but then again I'm not King03LS8. So I'll just give you a hardy handshake and hook you up with any hot female masseuses if you'd like. I love the Italian one I see....she's like the perfect woman. She looks like Monica Bellucci only with curly long hair :-D

You'd be suprised...it's still stereotypical that men want a female and only really need to see me if it's an Auto Accident (PIP) or L&I or for a sport injury. It's most females because they want that "cute masseuse" to make them feel good about themselves..plus I'm a flirt so it helps me too :-D
You'd be suprised how many women get massages and feel so open to talk about their sh*tty husband that doesn't give em any attention.
Btw for the fact that massage school is only a 1 year (average) schooling...getting a career only a year after highschool and making an average of 5k a month really isn't so bad.....and you can choose your own schedual and clients. plus you can travel the world and do massaghe there. Hell Costa Rica you don't need a massage license or liability insurance so you can just set up a massage stand and make 3k a week :-D

I drove quite a few G35 sedans while looking for my post-LSE vehicle after I sold my car. They are nice, nicer than the LS was. But I was in the need for quick cheap HP, so I went the turbo path. G35 to LS would be a downgrade, sorry. A V6 with as much HP as a V8, faster with a much larger aftermarket.
