While all of my friends have gotten newer cars as they have received increased salaries, I have elected to keep my 2002 Infiniti G20 as it still runs like a champ. At nearly 160,000 miles my 2002 Infiniti G20, called “The G”, is still running strong.
My father purchased this car for me when I turned 15 years old so that I could practice driving in a smaller car as we only had an SUV and a minivan and he did not want me to practice in either of those.
It has not had many issues at all over the years. Here is a list of the issues that have occurred:
- Air conditioning sensor went bad and needed to be replaced - $300 (2012)
- Power steering hose had a leak and needed to be replaced - $400 (2013)
- Major Tune-up - $400 (2017)
- Rotors, brakes, spark plugs replacing - $400 (2017)
Over the years the screws connecting to the front bumper have torn the plastic on the bumper off, thus the bumper has been slipping recently, which doesn’t look very appealing and causes so odd noises when making sharp turns.
I had to get creative in order to re-attach the bumper.
What did I use to attach it? Zip Ties.
Not the most eye appealing, but nobody can see unless the hood is popped
And just like that the bumper is repaired and the car look as good as ever!
I hope to get another 100,000 miles out of "The G".
Free and easy repair job!
