What to look for when buying a g37 coupe

Hey guys ,

i'm looking to buy a g37 coupe , so what's the main key points to look for before buying one , i owned a 08 g35 and a 11 g37 sedan now i'm feeling like i should get the coupe .

I found one which has 48000 KM Korean import the car looks clean and the price is in my budget range .

Omar, not too much to consider year vs. year, but 2012+ models have a revised oil passage gasket. In years prior to 2012 that gasket has failed, and to repair costs over $1500.
Enjoy your search, any pics of your prior Gs?

Look for a sport with nav to get all of the features you will likely want. 2012+ per Brad's advice above.

The problem is this is the only g37 coupe in the country all the other g37's are sedans so i don't have lots of options ( living in Libya ) .

it's a sport model it has almost everything (upgraded breaks , paddle shifters , sport seats, back up camera ) i really don't care for the nav because i'm living in Libya so it doesn't work anyway ,
I'm only scared from the engine because i blew my old 08 g35's engine after 3 months of owning it are the vq 37 are more reliable than the vq 35 ? .

Other than that oil gasket issue the 2009s have been very reliable.

I think Nav gets you bluetooth connectivity that you will likely want. However if that is the only option I'm sure you can add aftermarket bluetooth if needed.

Wow...only 1 g37 coupe in the whole country? Can't you swing over to Egypt to shop for cars?

One coupe and one convertible and like 25 sedans or little bit more and most of the sedans are flooded cars imported from the us .
