Yeah I just wanted to get a feel on what defective things I should look for or expect.

I was looking at an 02 Altima SE 3.5 w/ 81k but I just couldn't get over the tail lights. Plus the 328 looked a lot cleaner.

Thanks guy ... Yeah it definitely needs tint. Some of those pics make it look like the windows are down

I just can't get over how smooth the ride is. Granted the throttle response is no where near close to the Z, but like I said before I'll be going easy on it.

No doubt it will run to 200k miles, as long as you keep the services up to date. How much did you walk away with it for?

$13923 OTD ... ($1700 trade in w/ a 1 year/12k miles warranty). KBB values was about $15,000.

BTW the M wheels that came with it ARE stock. They're 17X8" in the front and 17X8.5" in the back. With 225/45/17 fronts and 245/40/17 rears.

328s with the sport package come with M wheels.

Same model in white.

Some people love em some people hate em. It's all a matter of preference really. Personally, I'd go Supra, but finding a decent one is 1)very hard and 2) pretty expensive

yep, but man, I've never had so many people break their necks the way they did while I drove that thing, it's ludacris

but it's still a debate for me, Viper, or keep the Z and mod it more...only time will tell
