looking into buying an infiniti g35, has been salvaged, need advice
i'll post the link to the car here. Basically the car is pretty tight (260 hp, 6 cyclinder, 2003, 50k miles). Blue book value is 21k. Their asking price is 15775. Only problem is the major accident it has been in. Appreciate all the help. Thx, fundmyaudi.

Re: looking into buying an infiniti g35, has been salvaged, need advice
It kills your resale. Might be hard to trade it or sell it at any price. If you can steal it (like 20% below wholesale book) and a reputable auto body shop that specializes in frame damage says its okay and will put it in writing then maybe you could consider it.
I'm a used car manager and we won't stock rebuilt/salvaged rigs. Don't even consider this without an inspection from a frame pro. edit: I just checked your link out. This lot is 15 minutes from my lot. Give me a call and i'll try to get you a great deal without the damage. My last ride was a Ininiti M35. Great rigs. I know of the dealer you are looking at. I wouldnt purchase a used lawn mower from him. Seriously. He didnt even disclose the wreck in his description. Did you have to go there before finding this out or find out on your own? PM me if ya want. I can shop all the west coast auctions for you. |

I was wondering how you could really pay for an audi with your playing style...

15k is a rip for a salvaged vehicle when 5k more buys you a well maintained mint one.

How low would the price have to be for him to be able to buy it with a clean bill of health?
