Ended up paying only $1000 more for the I35 versus the similarly equipped Maxima, and the I35 is a more refined car due to its little things that are better than the Max. The Mazda6 is a great drivers car, (was tighter to the road much like my 95 G20t) but a little small for a growing family. Plus dealer is great, and I have had a great experience with my G20t. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a larger car with performance and style. It is not a total "drivers car" but has a great blend of performance, luxury, roominess and price.
Check the owners list for the accessories & modifications discussion.
Hope this helps!
Any advice? Thx.
Does anybody know how to adjust the clock? It won't adjust. And, the clock isn't moving. Is something wrong?
I purchased a 2001 I30 about 2 months ago and so far I love it. I upgraded from a 95 Accord with over 213k miles on it (my odometer stopped working roughly 2 years ago--go figure) Anyhoo.. I was in the market for another Accord or an Altima but ended up with this baby. It was a company fleet car so it was impeccable inside and out with all the Infiniti services per the maintenance schedule. The car had 39k on it when I bought it.
I am a road warrior..drive roughly 60 miles a day to and from work plus any client sites I visit (roughly additional 50-75 miles a week). My question is.. should I invest in the extended warranty? To those of you with this model or prior years.. did you experience any problems/needed repairs between the time the factory warranty expired and when let's say an extended warranty would expires (100k)I need to know is it worth paying $1200 for an extended warranty.
FYI, I have a off market mechanic who kept my Honda in great shape for the fraction of the cost (i.e. cost of parts plus flat fee of 100-150 for labor) and before I bought this car I checked with him to make sure he could work on Infinitis and he can. Do you think I will be okay with just his expertise and buying Infiniti parts (filters/brakes etc from an online Infiniti parts website)?
Please advise. Thanks
I drive even a little more than you -- 100 miles a day round trip. Since it's mostly highway, I'm thinking that's pretty easy on the car and I'd chew up the warranty mileage too fast to make it worth my while.
Have you done the 60,000 mile maintenance yet? I just scheduled it. $600. Yeow. Sounds like your mechanic will beat that price for you, though.
I'll be looking for replies to your query. Thanks.
I'm with you on the extended warranty. I have read that Infinitis are well made so I hope it wont give me any problems (fingers crossed) What color is yours? Mine is Silver, with tan/taupe(?)leather interior with wood trim.. I feel like such a grown up (smile) Be well.
BTW, I just had the plugs replaced, the transmission flued replaced, fuel filter replaced, fuel injectors cleaned and a few other maintenance items done - it runs like new! I love it so much, that i just bought a used I35 with 16k miles on it - I have a lot of faith in Infiniti's. I will never buy and American car again! My Chryslers, Fords and GM were all garbage by comparison!
Good luck
A Boston area Nissan dealer is offering an '01 I30T w/44K miles for $19,900 (black on black). I checked auction prices and the car with these miles is going between $13700 and $15K.
What did you pay, and did you get them at dealers or private? Any advice when I look at this car?
Thanks
Thanks!
I bought a 2002 Infiniti I35 about one year ago. It's black with tan interior and the wood grain paneling... I think. WOW.. Anyway had 38k then and 53k now.. Yes, Low... I bought it from a lot that just acquired it from and old lady who traded it in on a two seater convertible. I live in FL so I understand that trade but I can live with the Sun roof and auto windows the I35 has. Everything works fine (knock on wood). It runs good but does hit hard on bumps.. I think thats due to the tires however. Anyone experience the same? common issue?
I just did some touch up paint the other day. I keep great car of the car, wash, vacuum, wax, and having mats on top of the stock mats. It Looks fantastic in the city at night under the lights. People often mistake it for a Lexus
"Pardon me Sir, nice Lexus and do you have an gray poupon?"
Well, I hope I enjoy this forum and that it brings good advice - the new members list is old but Edmond's is a great site.
Have a great drive all and the best to ya.

On my I30, I'm running Dunlop SP Sport Signatures, which so far have survived ice storms, cloudbursts, and summer runs through West Texas without incident. The only knock I'd put on them is that the noise level is wildly variable, depending on the sort of pavement they encounter.
