Is this a fair car trade? infiniti/honda?
I have a honda 2008 accord coupe 4i vtech engine ex-l all options. with 80k highway miles, since i go to school 2 hours away from home, and i go home almost every weekend.
to trade it for a 2006 g35 coupe with 65k miles. but it has some paint damage.
the only thing thats keeping me away is how much gas im going to be wasting since i drive so much. but nether the less it seems lik a good deal, what do u guys think? thanks in advance

I would keep the accord. You will be using a lot more gas in the infiniti (plus your insurance will go up). In the long run I think you would do better to keep your car even though it has more miles than trading for something older with less. Good luck! Also, in the even of repairs, the Honda will probably be cheaper to fix.
According to kelley bluebook your Honda(very good condition) has a private party value of $13,900 and the Infiniti(good condition) is valued at $16,162. The condition difference is due to the paint issue you mentioned. The Honda will get better fuel mileage but the Infiniti has more horsepower. I don't see where you will be gaining much in the trade. Good Luck
It's entirely up to you.
The Infiniti is more of a luxury/sports car, while the accord is more of a ricer.
Gas prices have been fluxuating, but will probably be going back up eventually, so I would probably stick with the better mileage.
I don't know if you put all 80K on the honda, but you probably know more about how it was maintained/driven/etc. - the Infiniti is more of a question mark (plus the honda is newer).
