Only the Chosen Can Buy This Precious 2009 Infiniti G37x Coupe
Only the Chosen Can Buy This Precious 2009 Infiniti G37x Coupe-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:45

Interviews are an important part of life, from our first job interview to the all-important interview that proves us worthy of buying a dealership’s decade-old coupe for $19,000. Wait, what?

The discontinued G37 coupe is, and for years, a . It pumps more than 300 horsepower from its V6 engine, can come with three pedals, sounds great, isn’t too expensive, and its looks have held up decently. But buying a used, 9,273-mile 2009 Infiniti G37x from Infiniti of Naperville in Illinois isn’t about your choice in the matter—it’s about whether you’re chosen to buy it.

No, this isn’t Hogwarts or anything. There’s no magical sorting hat determining potential buyers’ worthiness. The dealer selling the car is, however, requiring anyone who wants to buy it to do an interview with its former owner.

Here’s an excerpt from the $18,675 about it all, complete with some nice grammatical and spelling errors:

YOUR EYE’S DO NOT DECIEVE YOU ... THE MILES ARE ACCURATE ... ONE OWNER ... PREVIOUS OWNER IS A CAR ENTHUSIAST ** BEFORE WE ALLOW YOU TO PURCHASE THIS UNIT WE MUST HAVE YOU BE INTERVIEWED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE A GOOD FIT... VERY PARTICULAR ON RE-HOMING THIS ONE IN A MILL-YINN G37X *** PASSED OUR RIGOROUS 228-POINT INSPECTION!!

In addition to the interview, this low-mileage, ultra-clean 2009 comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, which is what the “x” in its name stands for. The G37x model didn’t come with the manual option, as Infiniti when it came out, but other G37 models did.

But enough about the car. Let’s break down the details of that sale listing:

BEFORE WE ALLOW YOU TO PURCHASE THIS UNIT WE MUST HAVE YOU BE INTERVIEWED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE A GOOD FIT... VERY PARTICULAR ON RE-HOMING THIS ONE IN A MILL-YINN G37X

So, a dealer, selling a 2009 Infiniti for less than $20,000, is requiring interested parties to do an interview with the previous—keyword, “previous”—owner in order to make sure they’re “a good fit” for “re-homing” this vehicle. This isn’t a multi-million-dollar rare supercar. It’s not a living, breathing pet that needs a safe new home. It’s a 10-year-old Infiniti.

The listing made no mention of whether or not interested buyers would need to bring a resume along with them, or what that resume should entail.

But, as with any other interview in life, stick to the basics: Your weaknesses are actually your strengths, and any conflict you’ve ever had was, at the end of the day, actually your coworker (or car)’s fault.

Thanks for the tip, !

Hip MTV Study: The Youths Don't Hate Cars After All
At last, sweet vindication. For years I've been fighting against the myth parroted by terrified industry types and lazy Boomer assholes , don't want cars, and only ride buses and their super-cool Razor scooters. Young people DO want cars! How do I know? Because of a new study by the...

For $43,000, This 1985 Ole Sommer Oscar Is Your Morning Danish
Today's contender is a slab-side Cobra replica built by a Copenhagen Volvo dealer and powered by a turbo red block. If that doesn't blow your mind, maybe its price won't either. Okay, we all know that the nickname of Volvo's first-ever car, the ÖV4, was Jakob owing to a prototype...

For $15,000, This 2003 Audi S8 Will Let You Stick Around
Do you remember the movie Ronin and how crazy everyone drove in it? For reasons that will become evident, today's S8 is emblematic of both that film and the lone warrior mythos. Will its price however, prove more of a bonin'? Yesterday's proved to be the Sommer of our discontent,...

Driving Subaru's WRX STI Rally Car Will Melt Every Part Of Your Brain
Rallying is a nuanced art. It takes years of training to get to the level where you can drive an open class car like this Subaru WRX STI with a sequential gearbox and 500 pound feet of torque. But I didn't have years of training. I had hours. And driving...

Mark My Words, This 1997 Lincoln Mk VIII is $6,500
It may not seem like it today, but there once was a time when Lincoln and performance were not mutually exclusive. Today's MK VIII is an example of that era, but will its price have you singing happy days are here again? In a shocking rebuke to both an unexplained...
