Well, you drove between North & South Cal all the time The area you usually cover is a lot more extensive than I . . .

 

correction, i have never seen one up here in norcal (that caught my attention), all of them but one were in socal

the last one? i saw it in nyc last yr when i was having anniversary trip there i guess there is a reason why the resale market is so bad on these cars.

 

I don't see to many of those 1M45 but those are great deals. The 1M45 and J30 are definitely rare cars indeed...

 

I mean for basically 20k, these are stunning values and if you don't need a new car and don't care about the **** poor image of the brand, I think they are maybe the best buy out there considering the age. We are talking 2002-2004 models here!!!

Not saying I would switch sides but damn, you can't get that year GS let alone LS or the Germans for that price.

 

We all know that I'm biased against Infiniti (at least I admit it), but I honestly don't think I have EVER seen a previous-gen M35/45 in person. For that matter, for all the talk about the new one being a "hit", it took my business trip to L.A. last week before I saw my first one of those on the road, either. I see new RL's a lot, new GS's sometimes, but never a new M.

 

that's weird, the new m seems to be a lot more common here in cali, i see them pretty often, kinda on par with the new gs i thnk?

but just the previous m, it's almost like nowhere to be found

 

for every 2 gs i see, i see 1 infiniti m sedan. however this is newport/oc area and we know name brand recognition is heavily favored here. but for every 4 bmw 5 series, i see 1 gs though...

 

MIke - I'm not seeing this - at least not on cars that have 12,000 miles on them. The higher mileage cars are down there in the $38K range, but not anything with the normal miles for a 2005.

I will say that the LS does hold its value much better however.
