It cost around $1750 for the extended warranty (36mo/100K). 1 month later, the BOSE head unit developed the left channel cut-out problem in the TSB. I easily earned that back getting the head unit replaced - the service invoice listed the BOSE head unit at $1995! And then there are things like heated steering wheel, 6-way power heated seats & a moonroof that can really rack up a bill....something to think about.

well when i was at the dealer, i drove an 05 Altima SE 5spd, 05 Mazda 6 V6 5spd, and a 07 Altima SE 6spd, and the 07 was incredible. every gear had a nice a$s power band. and the torque steer wasnt as bad as in the 05. if the dealer down the street from me can either match, or beat the offer i was given at the other dealer, Ill be rolling an 07 SE 6spd by the weekend
Def want to see those pics!

That's an awesome car. I wish I could have walked away with the white 6-speed I test drove
