Bought mine used Feb 28, 2002 with 15,XXX miles. Bought on the same day that the car was first bought by the previous owner one year exactly in 01 ( 2/28/2001 ). Didn't noticed the in-service date until i was checking the service records. Car was made in 7/01. Now @ 43XXX miles, still running strong.

Bought used in December 2004 with 47,5-- miles. It now has 48,--- on it. I think I need a coil, coils or a maf. I bought it for $12,995 in NYC. My first import, and I think I will continue to buy imports(specifically Japanese). I feel bad saying that American cars are crap, but my 1990 Lumina(148,--- miles) and 1991 Cavalier(195,--- miles) do not compare.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on which side of the fence you are on) they depreciate very very rapidly. This sucks for us as owners, but makes them an excellent bargain. Sure its nice to buy a new car, I cant disagree with you there, but the amount of $$ you can save on the first couple years of depreciation on a great car like this is more than worth it to me and apparently many others.
Im not knocking your decision at all, everyone puts different values on certain things. If you can find a well maintained used car, that is always going to be the best bang for the buck IMO.

The Lex is a very serious car though. It will give you a lot more than a G35 could ever offer, but in a completely different way. It's probably a lot more practical too, being that the G has to be in the garage 3-4 months of the year. Good luck with whatever you do
