If you're stretching yourself to buy a USED G37, perhaps you should reconsider.
There's quite the difference between not being able to afford, and not willing to spend. You seem to be the former...
As I've said before, you're better off spending more on a better car, than buying the cheapest one available to you.

As I understand the 5at vs 7at gear ratios in the lower gears don't really have as much significance as the higher highway speed gears. The 7AT gears mainly save on MPG in higher cruising gears. There is really no reason to get the 5AT "on purpose" if you can get the 7AT instead. Based on other threads and gear ratios the 7AT is actually more aggressive and accelerates slightly quicker than the 5AT:

Hehe i think we should agree to disagree, Mike. I certainly appreciate and respect your insights though but I'll maintain that a cheap car + warranty will suffice for myself.
We'll find out soon enough whether I'm wrong lol!

I wouldn't toss away 25,000$ (Not including tax and fees) for a used messed up car...

Hey Guys,
I'm sure this has been brought up many times but I'm new to the game.. Is it worth paying extra for the 09 G37 vs the 08? I'm looking at getting the Journey coupe, hopefully w/ no more than 40k miles. I know someone who has Manheim access so I'm looking to not spend more than $28k
