Try to decide if I should sell my G37 for something newer.

The new Z -- order guideis now out, used current gen 3-series and used A90 Supra are all on my radar but I'm not 100% on either one just yet.
Has anyone thought about moving on from their G37?

I feel like my G is showing its age but having no car note and enough FR fun are key reasons to keeping it.

Does anyone feel like these cars have aged enough to move on sometime soon?

 

I am in a very similar quandary as well. Though I will never part with my G, I lately have had a serious itch to add something to my stable but am having a difficult finding something that I actually like. There just are not many options for Coupes (or 'Verts for that matter) and I have zero interest in sedans (no offense folks) nor these crossover things.

I am not sold on the new Z, yet. I have to see it in person. I absolutely hated the A90 Supra until I saw one in person recently. If I could get past the fact that it is only a rebadged BMW that would get serious contention from me especially if they bring the "Targa-Top" concept to production.

Granted I am not in the market now anyway, I drive my G 2-3x/month, if that, so the "thrill" is there every time I do get to drive it. For now it is a tossup between the Q60 Red Sport and the Supra.

I, too, would be interested in hearing what is on other folks' radars as far as Coupes are concerned...

 

Depends on your price range. Mustangs and Camaros are still viable options and both 10 speeds are great autos compared to past products. As for manuals, the MT-82 (Mustang) needs some love to be tolerable, at least in my case. The TR 6060 in the Camaro is a brute.

The new 86 and BRZ are nice packages to look into since the power issue has been dealt with.

Q60 as you mentioned but I'd give it a year or two to see if they adapt the new Mercedes 9 speed into them and ditch the JATCO unit since the rest of their line-up (Nissan at least) is receiving it (to my knowledge).

RC 350/F (pending what you want) is more of a lux focused option. Good power but they to have some heft. Both motor options are stout and their in house auto gets nothing but praise.

Audi S5 - Prefer the 8.5 MYs for reliability

BMW M2/M3/M4/340/ etc...M2 would be the leader here.

Kia Stinger (TTV6)

Personally, my budget was 35k max so a lot of these options were out of my budget. Ended up being between Mustang, Camaro, Q50/60 Red Sport, 8.5 S4. Wanted a MT so that dropped the Q50/60 from the search. I wanted something that was reliable, easy to modify without being crazy expensive, nice interior...Camaro was a great car but couldn't see myself driving it without getting frustrated and the trunk was useless. S4 were all in 30-45k mile range so Mustang came out the winner.

 

I was under the impression that the Q60 was getting axed next year (2023) as they are just not selling?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Time will tell. I am in no hurry.

 

Used car prices are high right now so if you can manage to sell now and hold off to buying later

 

They will ax it and name it Q100 or something. I dont see an Infiniti Coupe going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Wish I shared in that optimism...

 

IMO, The crazy used car market won't be crashing anytime soon. If you can afford a newer car, then go for it.

 

The market is crazy right now, but if you're also selling your car then you have to remember you're going to get the same inflated price for it that you'll pay for something else...imo the only time the market values matter is if you're changing the number of cars you own.

I sold my IPL a few weeks ago and picked up a 2017 M240i 6MT. The G was at 105k miles and needed about a ton of maintenance very soon - tires, spark plugs, shocks, motor mounts, fluids, hoses...And the paint was completely hosed from living out in the Phoenix sun for 7 years and me not taking care of it. Between getting it resprayed and the maintenance cost I would have been looking at close to $10k. Carmax offered me $14k for the car which was fantastic considering I paid $25k for it almost 5 years ago. Probably could've gotten more if I went private, but I didn't want to deal with tire kickers and other clowns.

The BMW is objectively better in every way. More comfortable, faster, better tech, more fun, better fuel economy (lol)... The only thing I question is long-term reliability, but I bought a warranty so will keep my fingers crossed. Also, the engine is the same as the new Supra, so I figure if Toyota is putting their name on it then it can't be that bad, right?

Anyways, no regrets at all.
