She's gone. Was trying to get $9K for it and couldn't even do that.

So i traded it in for a 2006 Infiniti G35x w/ 26K miles...fully loaded with every available option + Navigation.

I'm happy, and can't wait to pick up the new ride.


I'm gonna miss my GT...but it was time for a mature ride.

No i put a decent amount of cash down too.

Seems like with the financial crap going down, they want to see some sore of cash DP in addition to a trade-in.

My credit is perfect...but i put some $$ down too.


I'm outside at 10PM stripping off the shifter and a few other stuff to sell to friends

I did.


Cobra brakes came off a few weeks ago, Just got done taking the MGW shifter and Mach 1 chin spoiler off.

Only mods they are getting is the cat-back. They are basically getting a stock GT

That's a nice car....light color interior though...put some big floor mats in there. In MI, that carpet and floor mats would get trashed. I like the car a lot...the NAV screen is sweet.

I just bought an MGW shifter for the Cobra it's sweet. Ebay all that stuff. Friends want deals...Ebay people will fight for aftermarket Mustang parts. Think $$$. lol

Congrats on the G35, MUCH nicer than an 03 GT for driving around... and I know you've been itching for one for a while.

One thing though I thought you were set on a stick shift G35? I see this ones an auto, any reason? Good deal, don't want to shift, etc?

I looked into G35 sedans for a while, and wanted a 6-speed one bad, but they cost too much back when I grabbed my Audi. Very nice cars though!

Simple reason.

6-spds are RWD only

AWD is automatic only


I wanted an AWD model for the winter..so i got stuck with automatic. I'm not complaining though since my commute is nothing but stop and go traffic

Actually it's my preferred interior color, exterior color and al the options i wanted. If i were to buy this car new...it would come exactly like this. No changes at all. I scored what i wanted.

I'll get some large clear mats for the winter to protect against snow/salt/etc.


I sold my Mach 1 chin for $50 already

I'll toss the MGW on the bay shortly.

I'm keeping my 5-spd Cobra style knob for my 5.0

I also have an Ipod adapter to put on the bay too...was $175 new

I'm def not looking back. This is an upgrade in every way.

280HP is pretty fast too. Some guys are running mid to low 14's with these with minor mods.

Really, I did not know that! Interesting. If thats the case I don't blame you then. I went with AWD as well and it helps out a good amount mainly in our driveway (you remember, imagine that with 6" of snow ) and around the crappy unplowed roads.

Either way they are nice cars!
