When purchasing this car I knew the car drinks oil at crazy amounts no big deal but I didn't know about the timing chains braking issue at such low miles. I've even seen it happen at 85k on some G35's the repair cost would of cost me $5000. Instead I'm just going to swap the engine with another G35 and get rid of it. If you are looking into luxury cars put Lexus at the top of your list. Infiniti knows about these issues, they just refuse to do anything about it, so take my word and stay away from first year model Infiniti's & Nissans.
