something along those lines | Gotta ask, why would you want the V8 over the V6 on the 1st gen FX35?
The performance of the V8 over the v6 is negligible after you account for the extra weight, their harder to find, and more expensive, and gas mileage is appalling.
I looked at both and ended up seeking out a v6 on purpose. Not to mention parts for the v6 are plentiful because of the G35 and 350z guys running around.

Super cool car. Wish it was the fall and I could justify it as a ski wagon.

Way more of a beast than that C class

Maybe it's just me but $10k seems pretty steep given it's a 318i with aftermarket wheels despite the condition and mileage.
I could see maybe 5 years from now when you could throw collector plates on it (can't remember if you need OEM wheels or not).

My GF's father has two newer Honda's and he's constantly said that dealing with the service department at two different dealers has been an absolute nightmare.
He's always said that they never acknowledge problems or pass them off as "normal operation" or "not bad enough to warrant replacing", and that trying to get any work done under warranty is a headache. Not to mention they tried to sell him a timing belt / water pump job at 70k, even though I told him that the timing belt for his car was good for 160k / 7 years.
He complained about abnormal shifting from 1st to 2nd off the line numerously (yes V6 auto) and it was the fourth or fifth trip where the dealer finally acknowledged that it was an issue and that they *just* found a TSB for an update, an update that apparently had been out for nearly two years according to a Honda parts advisor that my co-worker knows..
He started bringing his car to my dealer once his warranty expired 
Have had friends complain about Honda service as well lol
