Welcome and congrats.

You will want to search on the '03 model, I believe they had a few more issues then you are aware of. ie: tranny, fuel hoses, tire feathering, these would be the more "talked about" threads.

Good luck

I don't think it has a warranty.... How much would I be looking at to fix it at worst? I mean with just the problems that Reality listed?

I've talked my grandpa into buying a 2005, the one i was looking at had frame damage, i had someone run a carfax for me, and it came back bad, so i dont think i will be getting that one.

Default '04 Fuel Vapor Hose Recall

Had this performed last week.

Attempt to have less than a half tank of gasoline as they drop the rear axel when servicing and very hard for them to manuever otherwise.

My Nissan dealer offered a loaner car due to the lengthy service time.

welcome! you might want to get an extended warranty. that's what i did.

I also pointed out every little thing wrong with the car. since buying it less than two weeks ago they have replaced the windshield, fixed alignment, a few scratches and i'm taking it back in to replace the radio and clutch. the dealer hates me

Good move. You will be better off with the '05. (IMO)

Cheers,
