Couldn't leave the family (new 5th Gen owner)

I couldn't leave the family no matter how I tried. I thought I had a solid deal on an 03 M45 but the dealer tried to shaft me on new tires, brake job and a rear seat with a hole in it. I found an 03 6speed on the net in Rockville, MD (945 miles away) that I'm going to pick up next week. I got it for $16k and it has 39k miles on it. I kept my 350Z rims from my 97 and I can't wait to get my hands on it and start adding some goodies. I'll post pics when I get it here.

FYI: My wife is on business in DC and did the visual on the car since I bought it over the net sight unseen. (she knows exactly what I like)

When I called my bank they said the car Blue Booked at $21k. I think its a good deal seeing as back in 05 I would have paid between $18 or $19k for the same car with similar or slightly lower miles. I had been looking for almost 3 years for a black on black 03 6 speed Maxima. I even had 2 Nissan dealerships looking for me no luck, so yes I am very happy.

Me and my 2 boys are going to visit my wife who's there on business, I wanted to drive it back but she is going to change her itinerary and drive it back for me. We're both retired Soldiers so a little 1000 mile drive is nothing for us, I can do that ticket free in 14 hours.
