Hello everyone,
I have been a lurker for a while on this forum and have finally decided to join since I like what the forum has to offer to all of us enthusiasts in Alberta.
So I have pretty much been driving beaters all my life and figured that I should take a leap and get something nicer.
I will probably daily drive it but am also considering purchasing a little winter beater...
It will be either the G35, G37, or the RSX Type-S. Would like to go for a BMW or a Benz but I would be kind of overextending myself.
Pricing is not an issue although I would like to keep it under $26,000 after importation unless I decide to go for the G37.
1. 2007 G35 6MT Ivory Pearl White. CPO vehicle, 50000 Miles, 3 owners (From the exchanged e-mails, current owner seems very obsessive about how he maintains his cars) and oil consumption issue has been resolved with a new version of Rev-up motor at 24000 Miles (Hand built in Japan) and replaced clutch at 34000 Miles. Seller asking $22,000.
2. 2008 G37S 6MT Gray 35000 Miles, 2 owners (Was used as a corporate vehicle for the first owner so that kind of worries me). All options including navigation. Dealership asking $26,000.
3. 2006 RSX Type-S Taffeta White. 50000 Miles, 1 owner. Pretty much all options except for heated seats I think. Dealership asking $16,000.
So I am pretty much leaning towards the G35 or the RSX but I am also concerned about its resale value down the road if I wanted to get rid of it. Would the vehicle being in a recall affect its resale value down the road? I mean, the motor is an advanced version (Reliability wise) and the owners were a lady and a ~32-year old man.
I love the RSX but am leaning towards a classier vehicle.
Thanks very much for your inputs and have a wonderful day!!!
