2013 Infiniti G37 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke?

Quick update: a second 2013 Infiniti G37 quote made the first offer look ordinary. If they get vague again I'm shopping the deal elsewhere.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2013 Infiniti G37 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. That's the part that actually changes the decision. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Not wiring anything in the meantime.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: Call your insurer in Nationwide before you fall in love with the 2013 Infiniti G37. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. Two 2013 Infiniti G37 quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2013 Infiniti G37 numbers without them. If they balk, that's your answer. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.
