Get your money back. Look for a private party, one owner car with a carfax report. Spend a 100 dollars and have the dealer check it out. I used this formula several times, and it worked for me.

If he is pulling a fraud with the extended warantee company ... Have no part of it.
Your just asking for trouble there. 
Tell him you'll report him if he does and get your money back !!!

Honestly, I would of kept it. The grinding is the synchros. In the 03 models they were jacked up. So all you had to do was take it into a Nissan dealer and say "My 03 tranny is grinding, give me another." and you would have the updated tranny. You could have them do that while the new engine was being put in. Then you have a new trans and engine in a car you got for less than a new one. But, that's just me. idk, prolly not the best choice though.

I thought earlier that he said it still had some warranty. Either way, that sucks for the people that their to act up after the warranty is gone.

Depending on money and investments, my next car will be either a 2005/2006 350Z, or a 2005 C6 Corvette. Mustang Project is finishing in 3 weeks, and BMW X5 doesnt come off lease till end of october.
