The Infiniti G35 we posted the other day was well received because it combines the best characteristics of a reliable modern car with a nicely depreciated price curve. The only thing it was missing was the cool factor of a moderately rusty pickup truck exterior...oh...here we go, another horrorod.

Modern (post 2000 model year) cars are fast, complicated, and comfortable. Some are still too expensive, but others have depreciated into serious DT territory because of the immutable laws of supply (the OEM sold a ton when new) and demand (the newer versions are cooler/better/nicer smelling)...which have oddly favored the Infiniti version of the Nissan 350Z, which was known as the G35 coupe, at least until Infiniti renamed their entire lineup to be Q70, Q42, QGeewhiz Batman, I can't decipher this bloody nomenclature. Anyway, this next car comes from the time when you could tell what kind of Infiniti you were getting. Find this 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe offered for $5,500 in Placentia, CA via craigslist.
DT E-i-C Vince: Today's mid week match-up is actually me looking for ideas for a special feature that I'm writing -- but the task is simple, find the best 2006-2007 model year manual transmission sedans that will seat 5 human beings. Four door is preferred, but not essential, but it needs to seat 5 and be 10 years old. Fast is good, too. 
When news broke that Hillary Clinton was running around the Midwest in a vehicle called the Scooby van, I immediately thought it would be some wild custom. Needless to say I was disappointed to find it was just a boring old black van, and would have been much more excited if she were driving around in this next custom.

This next car is a late model Japanese sport sedan that threatened BMW's 3-series for the title of king of the luxury sport 4-doors when it was released in 2003. The Infiniti G35 wasn't available in a spec that could compete with BMW's M3, but it was available with Nissan's fantastic V6 and today will run you a fraction of the price of a similar condition 335i. So skip the BMW hype and get the next better thing, this 2006 Infiniti G35 offered for $7,950 in Milpitas, CA via craigslist.
The Infiniti G35 was introduced to the world in 2003 and quickly became a legitimate competitor to the BMW 3-series. It featured a big six cylinder engine, rear-wheel-drive and 6-speed manual gearbox, something you couldn't get from an Acura, Mercedes, Audi or Lexus. Some say it even beat BMW at the small luxo sedan game, at least for a few years before BMW started bolting turbos onto everything that moves.
