Default Inspection TIme?

I have 2004 touring package with 330000 miles on it. I have began to notice that the gears are ( Very Notchy). Sometimes I feel he car drives very smooth and other times I feel like the car is very jerky when taking off from 1st. Sometimes I feel the car shake when its in idol. Is it time to take the car to the dealership and have an arm or leg chopped off or should I take it to a third party shop and let them look at it.

I also bought the car in december when it had 3000000 miles on it. The car ran fine but little stuff began to bug me as this. I am now noticing condensation on my left tail light. I sometimes hear a rattling sound when I am driving over uneven road from the front of the dashboard. Sometimes I hear cracks from the back side of my car when leaving down my driveway. I bought the car from a third party dealership. I checked the vin number and everything checked out. But the only problem that I didn't see before I bought the car was it had gone through an auction. Am I just parranoyed? I have a feeling that it might be salvaged. What should I do?????????

first off is your car mt or at?

second since you are in socal bring your car to Performance Nissan or West Covina Nissan, you can at least trust they know what they are talking about even if you dont agree on their pricing..

You bought it with 3 million miles and the tail light is fogging. Time to buy a hyundai - clearly the reliability is an issue here...

Your car was on American Idol!?!?!?!?

Is it just me or are the Newb posts recently a little odd.....

Newb; I think you have the record with miles on a 350Z, I think you have the runner up by like 1,000,000 miles!!
