Picking up a 2k I30t this week... (Pics Added)

After selling my 97 Max SE last year, (and regretting it) It's looking like I will be back to the wonderful VQ later this week. I'm picking up a 2000 I30t with the 17" wheels and xenons from a couple that is retiring. Only has about 74k on the clock and I'm picking it up for $8k. Has a clean carfax on it and is in very good condition. I will post pics up after I pick it up on Friday. I can't wait!

$8K sounds more like a trade-in price. Wow. Congratulations.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I do feel like I am stealing it. It took a lot of searching and negotiation though.

That is an awesome deal. I would get it ASAP before someone else buys it.

I always really liked that color. Nice ride!! One question... Didn't all touring models come with a spoiler?

Thanks, Dust. No, I think that you could pretty much get the touring any way you wanted it. I believe the only things different on it were the 17" wheels, xenons, limited-slip diff, and maybe sport suspension.

I picked up a 2000 I30 with 84K on it two months ago for $9K. Was it a deal or not? Also, I have noticed that almost all of the Infiniti I30's I have seen have either a beige or black interior. What other color interiors are there on the I30s? My I30 is dark green with a beige interior.

ARRRRGH.. Daamn, all those under 10K prices are total Steals. Damn you guys are lucky. Everytime I find a 2k, they want 11k or so. I'm dreaming of a nice black Touring model with spoiler. Almost had my hands on one this week for 11K but someone beat me to it.

2000-2001 I30s have three interior colors-beige, black and sage.

The car I bought the dealership originally wanted $10,995 for it, but it sat on his lot for 3 months. I went in and offered him $9K cash. No financing. He took my offer. It took me about 2 months to bargaining with different people before I could get my I30 for 9K. Just keep looking and remember that sometimes the best way to make a deal is to leave the lot. They will call you if they are hard up for a sell.

Are xenons standard for 2000 I30t's? I forgot to test the headlights when I was test driving.
