QuestionHi Ray, I have an opportunity to buy a 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe with 90000 miles for $11000 and 2005 Mercedes SLK 350 with 60000 miles for $17000. Which is the better buy? Which will be more reliable and cost me less to maintain? Thanks.
AnswerHi Tim,
Personally I think both are excellent reliable luxury choices with the G35 on average should cost less to maintain.
Which is the better buy ??? - Test drive both to see which one fits your lifestyle,,, nobody can tell you the car will handle the way you would like - what may feel right to you, may not feel right to me, it's something only you can decide.
The question now becomes which is the better investment financially mechanically Insurance wise and not ending up with a lemon , if these 2 were my choices, here is how I would approach the process - it will take a little homework on your part.
Start with this link on my website http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html if vehicle feels right to you it's time for step 2.
http://www.usedcartips.org/MECHANI.html if seller will not allow an independent inspection you walk - history report and negotiation will also come into play,,, Study the website,,, if something is not understandable feel free to get back to me or send me a link and I will check for red flags.
Good Luck
