I have *finally* returned to the Nissan family

After finishing with training off and on for 2 years in the Army, I was finally able to buckle down and get back into the captain's chair again.
MY NEW WHIP!

2006 Altima SE-R
6-speed, 56,XXX miles.

NICE! How is the paint? We have a few members on here with questionable SER paint.

I bought it from the original owner, and he seemed to have it on lock with biannual wax jobs... There are some rock chips in the hood (small ones) but thats to be expected with a going-on-7 year old car. Other than that the paint is still very good looking.

Would you be referring to me? :frown:


Welcome fellow SE-R owner! :domo: :domo:
Stay here a while. I'd like to see the Altima L31 chassis section busy again.

I picked up mine with 30,000 3.5 years ago. Wish mine was minty with lower miles like yours. As forementioned by papa smurf I have clear coat issues despite waxing and care. It's frustrating but at 105,000 miles I plan not to paint and drive it to 200,000+

I've been on NICO since 2002 broski! :dblthumb:

But yeah, I'll pop into the Altima forums every once in a while too.

Yeah I see you've been here since '02. Just thought of you as a new altima owner I guess. I actually came across the FS on eBay for your car a little while ago.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=271000403472 Glad you snagged it. Hopefully you talked him down in price a little from what was posted. What winter wheels/ tires did you get with it?
