What are the known issues with this year/model? Hoping to buy for about $2,500.

Pre cat (which leads to oil consumption) and floorboards are the first things that come to mind.

Do NOT buy a NISSAN....I bought a 2003 Nissan Altima in April of 2003 use with a little over 100k on it and now im having all types of problems...right now my current one is the cam and crankshaft sensor and it making my check engine light turn on. Found out nissan had recalls on my this year of altimas for this problem. I have stalled out twice while driving the car to and from work and school. Currently fighting with Nissan because they claim my vin # is not on the "recall" list and insist that I have to pay a diagnostics fee of $259 for them to tell me what I already know that the cam and crankshaft sensor need to be replaced....and that i might get reimbursed for it...i will NEVER buy another Nissan again!!!!
