Brakes are not sport though. I'm actually getting the. Done right now and I can 100% confirm that. So if my car was part of some shady stuff I wasn't aware of what's the COA? Continue looking into it or just "accept" that infiniti made a mistake? I got it from a private seller so that limits some options.

No paddles when I first got it, seats have holes no kick plate like you said.

Still, I wouldn't take that as the end-all, the more evidence we have, the more we can help you out. Take a picture of your brakes and put a tape measure to the rotors. I assume your interior trim is the aluminum?

EDIT: Are the regular seats perforated?

It's possible that the previous owner found someone with a base G37 to trade sport parts + cash.

yayt00

Getting my brakes done right now with factory base brakes which are the same exact thing.

Interior is aluminum. Perforated? You mean with the tiny holes? Yes.

yayt00

That's possible. Or the car was wrecked and refitted with base parts. But the history is clean of that. But there was never an S badge on it or paddles. Which makes no sense.

Either there was a mistake or that VIN does NOT go to your car. if thats the case, it was done to cover something up (either stolen or in an accident).

I'm not sure what you should do...maybe mention it to a knowledgeable dealer rep (easier said than done) LOL.

Im not sure how that affects insurance but it will def affect your ability to resell it down the road.

Looks we we got a mystery on our hands, gang. To the Mystery Machine!

Is your Carfax clean (I think I missed this part, if you mentioned it)? Run an Autocheck if you have the means, sometimes it shows more than what Carfax does. Just out of curiousity, how much did you pay for the car?

Oh yeah, is it an AT or MT? I believe vin only shows MTs as sports and any AT sports show up as "Journey w/ Sport" doing a vin check, that's how my AT Sport shows up.

Does the vin say Journey w/sport or Just g37 Sport

cruzmisl

Read the OP? LOL

Here's a minor thing to check. Do the pedals have the aluminum/metal accents or are they straight up black?

Please just take pics of the outside and inside of the car and post them.

The insurance on my 09 Sport MT was $310.00 more a year over a journey/sedan.....

cruzmisl

Which is funny because they are still essentially the same car, except our wheels get stolen a lot on the east coast.

I will shoot them dead. I will go to prison for it too, but it would be worth it. Hence the reason I keep renewing my CCW permit.

The Sport is more expensive to replace wheels, brakes, seats, etc. It is also probably more prone to car smash ups/collisions from the younger crowd of kids driving them I assume.

310.00 more over the course of a year is the difference between my G37 and my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
