I've got one and I prefer to drive it over our 2007 BMW 530i. The sedan is faster than the coupe too if you're concerned with that kind of stuff. I'd definitely go with a sport package equipped sedan along with the aero appearance package.
The interior is horrible so no. I value interior luxury and fit and finish. There also are problems as quality wasn't great and the VQ is a great V-6 but course and thirsty. It is a good drive and is pretty fast.
It also seems to be the new ghetto/wanna be CEO car from what I've seen since they are cheap to buy.
The drivelines in those cars are very strong and aren't anything ridiculous to fix unless you have the Brembo brake package (the brakes are good, but they burn up quick and cost a lot to replace). However, the interior and overall fit and finish in those years was subpar at best. A lot of hard plastic and cheap materials that tended not to wear very well. In all honesty, Maxima's of that vintage are put together better than the G35's were.
Personally, I would stick to a 2005 or newer as there was an extensive redeisgn then that really improved the interior. A 2007 or newer would be even better, but 2005's and 2006's can be gotten pretty cheap these days. So, no I wouldn't worry about the mileage and age of the car, I would however caution that it is probably the least desirable of the G35's.

That's great, but I didn't say anything about the "driveline" and no car company replaces brakepads and rotors under warranty anyway. The engine is a part of the powertrain and is the weakness.
Agreed on all counts with respect to the interior. The 05+ is much nicer and comes with leather.
