I am finally one of the cool kids........5th Gen purchase

Lucky for me, my wife works in the airline business so flying to check out a good deal is not a problem.

Just got back from LA and picked up this 02 with 160k. Pretty darn clean, new clutch, brakes, gaskets, ect ect. Seems to be taken care off.

I struggled to even find MT maximas here in Boise let alone at a reasonable price. Picked up this 6mt for $2500.

I do need to address a slight rubbing squeak that comes seemingly from the steering column when turning. Outside of that its loaded but has cloth ( I hate leather)

Also had my first In and Out burger, that was tasty

Welcome to the fold.

If you don't have the srvice manual, you can download one from here:

In and Out Burgers are highly overrated, especially their fries.

I think he was referring to the fact that it's a six speed. Everyone on here bashes the automatic, so I guess the six speed makes you a part of the cool club. Ha ha.

Nice car, and congrats. Make sure you keep a close watch on the oil, each time you fill up gas to observe the oil burning since those 3.5 engine are known for it. I love my 5 gen 3.0 with no complaints

In N Out...

Shakes = Good
Burgers = OK (without the special sauce)
Fries = Disgusting
