Damn nice looking car. Daytona Blue with white interior is a unique combination.

ive seen a blue one with the white interior right here in NJ,, it looks bad in person,,, definately black looks way better,, and at that price I would definately check the salvage history on that car,,, other than those precautions It looks pretty good

Yeah that frost interior is sweeet. I'm pretty close to getting it, if I can decide the pros and cons between this and an 06 Enthusiast.

The 06 will cost me about 7 grand more and won't have leather/bose, etc that comes with a touring model.

The cons are that the car may have the feathering issue and the gas line recall with the 04's but I may be able to deal with that. Only 22K on the mileage which is good.

I think I'm gonna pull the trigger soon!

Only other Con against this is that I will be the fourth owner! I think it may have been a repo or someone couldnt afford the payments. Other than that the CarFax is clean.

Well thats pretty good,, I have an 03 and the feathering was never an issue bc it was caught at only 10k miles,,, and the gas line recall thing was covered under warranty,, any recall is covered by nissan,, does not matter who the owner is at all. 4 owners tells me one thing,, they all prob beat the **** out of the car,, check the tire wear in the rear,,, check the tranny to make sure there are no grinds at all either...

I will try to search but what is the best way to check if there are any grinds in the tranny? Shift from a higher to lower gear? OR is there a better method?

If they beat the **** out of the car, it sure doesn't show from the condition. It looks like new in the pics and I'm going to see it in person tomorrow.
