I'm looking into getting a loan but from the calculations i'll probably only be able to get $27k.. which wont come close to buying me a new G35. I've looked into used ones but everyone in my family says thats a bad idea that I wanted a new car and I should stick to that instead of getting another car that I don't know the history on

sooo looks like a 350z (an '05) or a freakin' Mustang GT (easy to get a lease on one)


It was nice feeling like i'd be part of the forum for real.. while it lasted anyways..
sucks having little to no "good credit" and little to no bad credit.

There is nothing wrong with buying a used car if you’re smart about it. If you need a rebuttal to your friends and family about buying used, tell them it is a sound money decision. If I where you I would go find you a 2003.5 or and 2004 G35 with a decent range of miles (say 25 – 35 thousand) that has been cared for and buy it. With that range of miles it will most likely still have a warrantee to make you and everyone else feel safe. Just make sure you run a car fax report to make sure everything is clean and as Hexxum001 stated.

I have bought a couple used cars and my luck has been great. Just take your time and you will find the right deal.

I can't speak for the lease situation but since I worked in finance it is rather fishy if they can't do an out of state cosigner on a loan.

As for buying used I think there is a huge segment that is being overlooked. I can understand a persons worries about buying private party or from a dealership other than the manufacturer. However there is something called Certified Used that extends the factory warranty further for free (which btw is a 2k option when you buy new). Not all cars are eligible for the certified program as they have to pass an inspection from the dealer to even be eligible. Every manufacturers certified program is different but I think Infinitis is one of the best.

For example-

I bought a 03.5 6mt sedan used with 13K miles from Grubbs for 27K 2 years ago. The "bumper to bumper" warranty is extended out to either 75 or 100K with the powertrain being to 100K for no additional cost to me. It comes with all the same perks as a brand new one such as free loaners and roadside assistance which may have been extended as well. I put 0 down and my payment is only 385. This car has had little to no problems including the usual gripes you routinely hear about whether new or used.

Just an idea that has been tried and true....

TS, I think they're feeding you a load of BS. I would call another dealer and tell them you are looking to lease a vehicle in your name and have you mother co-sign with you, but she is in Cali. They should be able to tell you how to get around it...Good luck and I really hope you get the G afterall...
