Picked up an 01 I30

Got this one for my GF. 2001 with 70K in just about perfect condition. Got it for a good deal, $10.3K from a dealer. I had only sat in this generation I30 once before. Never realized how much they improved the interior over the previous gen. I really like it. Still not a huge fan of the outside, and the color is not my favorite. Looking to get some wheels from a G35, M45, or I35 for it then drop it just a tad. Great car! The rear sun shade and the gauges are my fav.

Pretty car, good buy

You'd be amazed at what a few exterior mods can do to freshen up the appearance... or maybe you wouldn't. Best of all, most are pretty cheap.

I guess best bet for an I35 grille is from a dealer? I think this would really help the appearance of my '01.

nice,clean car. you should install the woodgrain kit, it will really bring out the interior off the car. that's if you plan on sticking with the "luxury" look.

I think you can find it on everythingnissan.com for a good price, but I got mine at the dealer. I think it was around $250. You have to get the emblem too FYI.

No, it's not fast. But like you said, it a cruiser. Great for road trips.

Nice Car, looks exactly like mine. Throw some tint on it!. If you find an I35 grille at a reasonable price will you let me nkow. That's my next mod. Does ANYONE know why my clock (analog) won't light up?
