That thing is butt ugly, but it sounds real nice!

for 2 grand (according to KBB its worth 3,810 as it sits) i think i will chance it. i knwo they guy very well like i sad, so he wont be offended if i have the Nissan dealer inspect it and make sure everything is up to spec.

im sure it is, this car has been BABIED, as i said before. i dont think it has ever even seen the snow.

it does have its share of dents, but nothing topo major, in fact, i coudl fix it with bondo and not even have to worry about it. could just as easily be fixed with a new/used fender...but from what i understand they arent very common cars.

im convinced, ill go tell him to begin looking for another ride tonite. in 2 weeks, ill have enough cash to give him part of the down payment on a new G35

uh-oh, i ran a carfax, just for kicks...and it has a salvage title. i dont think he told me that. but even then, i didnt really mind that as it was still worth 2800 with a salvage, so i sent him to the infinity dealer and found out:

-something wrong with ASS (active suspension system), i am not sure what it was, btu they said it was serious.

-stored code for catalytic converter (s)

-needed new struts

so needless to say, no infinity for me.


but now im looking at a 1996 honda passport. guy was asking $2,200, i lowballed at 1700, and we will see what he says. its 4x4, auto windows and locks, AT. we shall see.

Could always check out a turbo-dodge (omni, spirit, shadow, daytona, caravan, lancer, etc.)

no i cant, i dont need more problems. i need something to get me by a few months. this honda seems right up my alley. it has a ticking in the motor, but my mechainc says its just a lifter. other than that everything is good. V6, 4WD, ABS, Power everything. cd player. factory premuim sound...every thing is good.

heres a review on the 1994-1997 passport in case anyone is interested:

honda passport review.

the one im looking at is the LX model.



not a bad review, i dont mind the noise or the fuel economy really, its just to get me by, till i can afford something else.
