I've had my 2004 G35 since Jan. 2005 I bought it off the lot. For the first 100k I put very little money into it. Just oil changes, breaks, and tires. Then at 106k the transmission went. Figures 100k drive train warranty mine went at 106k. Dealership was great and found me a used Tranny for $3100 all in. That was a major expense but considering I hadn't had a car payment for 5 years I went for it. Other than that I've had replace a rusted out exhaust. The front end suspension especially tie rods seem to crack more than expected. (note I drive on pot holed roads quite a bit). I just replaced the rear suspension at 240k miles. I still have the same cad converter but did replaces muffler and pipes over 200k. I replaced belts, fluids, spark plugs but never any major engine issues. I have the sedan at 260hp and it's still a beast with pick up. The only other major expense was replacing the bearings at around 140k miles but after that it was like driving a new car. The leather has held up well with 4 kids. I have almost no rust just a touch under the back right wheel. I have over 265k miles and still feel safe driving this car. My negatives are no Bluetooth since it's an early model. The electronics are slowly failing my left passenger window safety relay is bad. Means when I auto roll up the window and it thinks something is stuck and rolls down halfway. I can inch it closed though by not using the auto feature. The break light in the back window is actually a waste. You don't really need it and it cost's over $500 if it fails. I have Bose speakers that still sound great but the CD player seems to have sound cut in and out (I know other G35 owners with the same problem) but the radio is perfect. This would be a great first car. The things that suck are the break dust on the front wheels and there is a plastic splash guard protecting the under carriage that gets mutilated over speed bumps or gets hooked on parking pylons. I really want to buy a Q50 but my G35 is still a great free ride. I actually keep hoping something major goes wrong so I can buy the Q50 but it keeps rolling safely.

Great car, very reliable.I have had it for almost a year and loved it. Though at times you may hate..like during the snow and when your low on cash and premium gas is 3.50/gal. I have only had to rotate the tires and that's it. I also change the oil and filter every 3000 miles.Plus its a chick magnet :)

I bought my 2004 G35x with 72k, Nov. 2017. But for having to replace a starter , rear brakes and front wheel Bearing( due to regular aging And usage I guess) this car only needs oil and gas ( because it wants you to have fun with it!) Amazing bang for your buck, tank in the snow and essentially an AWD 350z in an elegantly styled, aggressively handling and SUPER fun package. You buy this for the engine, tranny and body style, not so much your interior. Buy a Prius if you want low gas consumption and an info tainment system. Yes a little noise inside but you just get to hear the rich note of your G35 better! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I love this car!

this is my last review of the 2004 Infiniti G35 sport sedan that I owned period unfortunately a deer jumped out of the woods onto a major highway and destroyed the car. So I no longer get to experience the thrill of sudden acceleration and immense power. However, I also know longer get to experience the huge maintenance cost that you don't expect to have when owning a Japanese car. See the expenses I had while owning that car. I'd put less than 50,000 miles on it and this amount of expenses is more than I paid for the car. In the two years I've had it, but particularly, since the beginning of 2019, I've spent a total of $4478.78. That includes new rotors and pads @$800; two sets of headlight bulbs @ $350; new battery and starter when the car died on me out of state @$449; Oil cooler O-ring- What?? @$150; Valve cover gasket $ 781.99; passenger side control arm @427.51. Plus a whole bunch of smaller items. I only paid $3,500 for the car. Before you say that is normal, I say, "no it is not". I owned Lexus, Toyota and Honda. None of them generated these this type of expenses in such a 'short period of time'. My Accord went to 307194 miles for 10 years, before getting close to Infiniti's expense. My compatible ES300 went 12 years, achieving 249710 miles. Had no similar repairs before 150,000 miles on it and they were spread out. My Camry made it to 292504 miles, never had any real issues other than normal repairs. I love that G35 to drive, but it is was draining me. So, in retrospect, I'm kind of glad that it is gone.
