I currently own an 08 m35x with ~190,000 miles that has ran into a laundry list of smallish issues that’ll leave the car set for a few years after resolving all the issues. However, I’m 22 years old and want something smaller, sportier, and more stylish. So, I’ve decided on the g37 coupe/first gen q60. I’ve found a few options including:

-a q60 awd automatic with 44k miles for 17k
-a q60s rwd standard with 60k miles for 17k (it has an accident history, I’ll have to see how severe the wreck was)
-a couple of low mile g37x models for 16k (70k miles and 80k)
- and a g37x for 10k with 122k miles on it.

I know that the 44k can easily be in the worst condition depending on how it was treated and that the same could go for any of the cars, but ignoring that, this is what I came up with. The best deals per mileage/options seem to be the two q60s ignoring whatever issues they might have. However, I am definitely swayed towards the 10k dollar one as I’ll be saving almost have the cost and my older, arguably worse Infiniti, has lasted to 190k miles with mostly no glaring issues even though it was a flood car. So, assuming that all of the options are mechanical sound, is the 122k one worth it or would I be better off going for one of the two q60s?

-The most fun option would be the q60 sport as I’d like standard and rear wheel drive.
-The most mechanically practical option would be the AWD q60 as it has very low miles and no accident history as well as awd in my colder, more weathery climate.
-The 122k mile is the most financially practical.
-The two sub 100k miles g37s are fallback in case of any glaring issues the q60s may have and in case the 122k miles g37 isn’t worth it.

Sorry if this is hard to read at all, I tried to format it nicely, but I’m new to forums! Thanks for any advice!

I want to vote but these prices seem a bit high for the mileage. I would keep looking

They’re the best prices for my area and the websites that show you like a price ranking have labeled them as good prices. You can find an 09 Altima with 150k going for 6k in my area.

Used car prices (especially sub-100k MY 2010-2015) are inflated now because of the pandemic. Everyone is dumping their lease specials and not buying new, in order to keep cash on hand.
So if you're in the market for a new or 2-3yo CPO, things are cheaper than they should be. CPO Acura MDXs are heinously good value right now.

Would you have a recommendation? Given that the 120k one was taken care of properly, would you think it’s worth it?
