2013 Infiniti G37 — online auction photos barely show the underside

CityFan766Community StarterJul 1, 20262013 Infiniti G37 xSOrange County
2013 Infiniti G37 xS, about 191,500 miles. Auction listing has lots of cosmetic photos and records, but not much underneath. For an older enthusiast car, what questions or photos would you request before bidding remotely?

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2013 Infiniti G37, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2013 Infiniti G37 before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. No need to make it theatrical. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2013 Infiniti G37 in Orange County, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “online auction photos barely show the underside,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2013 Infiniti G37 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2013 Infiniti G37 first. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Not convinced that's the whole story. If it still isn't clear on the 2013 Infiniti G37, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2013 Infiniti G37. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

On “online auction photos barely show the underside,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2013 Infiniti G37 in Orange County with 191,500 miles. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
