Consider 6th gen.
Hey guys....Ive been around here awhile and have owned 2 maximas. Right now though, im driving a 2.5i Impreza that I can not stand in the least. So, I came across this 6th gen 6 speed with 80k miles on it. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...000&cardist=32
That is the autotrader link. It seems like a good price, but im worried about it being an 04 cause I know alot of 04's had some big time issues that couldnt be solved last time I read up. What do you guys think?

You could go to www.nissanhelp.com, find your model/year, and print the 6 pages of Bulletins(TSB) and Recalls, and use this as a checklist when you see the car. Some of them are just annoyances and some only happen under specific conditions. Seller should show service records of the recalls and service that have been fixed under warranty. If not, then reduce the price in case you have to get it fixed.
Maybe get an OBDII analysis done to check for codes that have not yet triggered the SES light, or to check how many miles driven since the last time the SES light was cleared. You can even pull the VIN number from the ECU.
I use edmunds.com and KBB.com to appraise cars.
Maybe get the car inspected to check the clutch, etc. Check tire thread depth because each is $180-$220+ (installed).
