why would you want another pretty much maxima?

its good that its a 5spd but doesn't even say the mileage.
ask the owner when the last time he/she had everything tuned, i mean like to the specifics to see if the owner knows what he/she is talking about. better if the owner had receipts for all the tune ups.

I would negotiate him down depending on the mileage. it appears to actually be a "t" model like I have.
the one I bought started at a similar price, but was in slightly worse shape. I got it WAY less than the asking price. to me it was definitely worth it.

yeah get the mileage. you can lower him, he might think its real high thats why he didnt list it but we all know it doesnt matter really. i personally wouldnt pay more than 2 grand for it i dont really like it.

I agree you may be able to work the price a little if you find out the milage. I have a 98 i30t and love it. I bout it with 50k miles and now has 165k. I have never had a single problem with it other than standard wear and tear. I anticipate it lasting well into the 200's. Great car.

Couldn't be less true. I never see anyone but old women drive I30's. There's a reason for that. And that grill does nothing to help its cause...

HOLY ****!! A pewter 5-speed I30! That thing is super super rare, rare interior/exterior color to begin with, plus 5-speed.

hahaha, at the haters, it's give and take, the maxima is so butt ugly from the rear compared to an i30, and onbce you replace the headlights and grill on an I30 they look sexy from teh front.

I never got pics of the grill with the 98+ headlights, and obviously my bc was trashed, but:

not where I'm at.
Old women are rarely driving at all around me, and when they do it's usually a Buick or Oldsmobile.
plenty of guys drive the I30 around here. Haven't seen one female driven.

if anything, the i30 looks more fancy and less aggressive than the 4th gen.
