I bought my 1995 GLE new in Oct '94 and have put 157K miles on it. Love it.

However, I stumbled onto a one owner 1997 I30 with 67K miles on it and it looks like new. I have all the service records, etc. I even went to the dealership where it had been serviced since new and had it checked out. The 60K service had been done at 63k.

It's quieter inside than the Max and a bit more old man in it's ride but corners almost as well as the GLE.

I am still a 4th Generation lover.

97 with only 67K miles ? ofcourse some can exist,but double check.......and in my opinion , 4th gen are more stylish

Are you getting rid of the max?

Nice find

is the i30 5spd??

Maybe the rear of the car is, but I30 front FTW.

in my opinion.

Carfax, California smog test records and the Infiniti dealer that serviced the car since new. I triple checked.

Auto. My GLE is an automatic as well.

Most likely. We only have a 2 car narrow garage (my wife has a 4 Runner) and the driveway is a steep grade. The Max would have to live on the street.

On the other hand, it's easy to walk down the steps and get in the car without opening the garage and backing down the steep driveway. So far the Max is getting used more than the other 2 cars.

I'm sure you can stiffen that up a little bit.
