I'm considering buying a 2002 Altima SE with 3.5 and 5 speed manual. Car has 127k miles and I'm buying it from a dealership.

I'd love to hear anyone's advice on these cars. What to look for or look out for. What questions to ask. Anything you can think of, send my way, I'd love to hear it. Thanks

Oil consumption thanks to a deteriorating precat, timing chain noise as a result of worn/broken guides/tensioners, and rotting floorboards would be a good place to start looking for potential issues.
