Ok well I was looking into getting yet another 240sx but then I ran into a I30 and test drove it. I must say my god it was a dream and the sails person had trouble getting me out of it. But I figured I would ask some NICO members opinions that I trust on the subject. What do you guys think should I go back and get this sexy mama its a 99 and hes only askin $6000 but its sexy looks brand new. And have any of you had any problems with them or have anything negative about the car? Thanks guys

How many miles? Is it a 5 speed?$6k sounds pretty good for a good condition 99--and even better if it's a 5 speed.

I30s are nice cars. Well built, attractive, sporty, and reliable. As with all Maximas and I30s, you shouldn't have any significant problems with the car. Being a 99, it's probably not all that high in milage, especially for a VQ.

If it is a manual, and you feel the need to swap in a 5 speed, there's a how-to for that in the how-to sticky.

Here's the spec sheet for a 99 I30:

You can't beat a VQ as far as reliability goes (IMO and Wards)
