Bought myself an I35..Pictures

I had to sell my 2004 Nissan Maxima SE Elite package 6 speed due to not needing a second car and decided to get something that the wife can drive. After looking for a 5.5gen Max loaded with low miles for 3 months I ended up buying 2002 I35 with 103K miles. I am a big fan of black interiors but had to settle with the gray one. Interior pictures look better than what the interior is . The car is in excellent shape with a couple of minor things.


1. Tons of curb rash on the wheels. I have Maxima 17inch rims which I am debating to replace. Anyone know if I sand the rims out and put clearcoat will it be a good option.
2. The cup holder cover is broken. I saw tons of I35s and each one of them was broken.
3. Bose sucks! Cds skip all day long. I replaced the stereo with an aftermarket sony but used Metra harness that makes it sound like crap and the sub doesnt work. Will replace it with PAC. So looking into it.
4. Minor rust (expected from a 10 year old car)
5. Some rattle in the suspension that I cannot figure out. Minor on bumpy roads but I take care of my cars!

Still wanted your Elite package....lol! So far I have been lucky with the stock single-disc BOSE headunit. Found out it is a Clarion unit, so pretty good. My sub was intermittent and discovered here on the org. that it was a solder on one of the components on the board attached to the sub. Now my sub works great! At least you get the higher quality leather seats in the Infiniti. That's my one major gripe about these cars is the **** poor leather/vinyl seats...

Galactica: STOP REMINDING ME OF MY OLD MAX ... I saw her a couple of days ago across town and the guy that bought the car was grinning ear to ear when he saw me! I dont have problems with the sub, its just that the cd player skips like no tomorrow. I might buy a single cd player from a 2000/2001 I30 and see how that works!

Someone has an Elite package on the FS section, but has the burnt orange leather with worn out seats and asking for $2K more than what I was..Just putting it out there

Looks pretty clean. There are some rusty bits under the hood that could easily be painted/replaced to make it look better. How much?
