car shopping

okay so I have a 2000 Honda Civic and even though its paid off and only has 55K miles on it, I feel like its time for a new car!

I was interested in a Toyota 4Runner for the longest time, but recently changed my mind because im not married nor have kids, so I think it might be too big of a car for me. Then i was looking at the 2007 Toyota Camrys and all the reviews that I read on yahoo said that it has really bad transmission which caused me to continue looking! So now I have come to the conclusion that I want an infiniti G35, nice looking car, realiable and just my size! However, I think I might go for a pre owned one, maybe like 2005 with low mileage and under 30k! I have found a few, but im not quite ready to purchase one since I want to put a good downpayment. I just have a couple of questions about car shopping...

what is typically a good down payment? ive heard that if its not that much than its not even worth it, but how much is "good"?

what about shopping for interest rates, what is the best way to go about it since you cant really tell what interest rates anyone will give you until they pull your credit, and doesnt that alone lower your credit score?? should i go to banks or straight for the dealership?

i am not looking to lease, definitely want to buy and was thinking of putting 2000 down, but dont know if i should wait longer and put more down...
