Nissan Altima Coupe

I had a 93 nissan pick up, 290,000 miles later my little brother still drives it the only problem I ever had was the alt went out on it at about 200k. Then I had a 2001 nissan frontier I drove until 2005 before I traded it in, never ever had one single problem with it.

so then it is 4 in the last 4 years

don't get me wrong...I am not bashing on nissan by an means, I was just commenting on your timeline:greedy:

they're not bad, you'll like the 3.5..i didn't like how "chunky" the interior felt

but, i personally prefer the Accord 6spd v6 coupe or CL Type-S..dash kit can get expensive for the accord though because the climate controls and radio are all in-one. you can put a new radio in the pocket beneth it though

those three are the on v6 fwd coupes i can think of..unless you want a hyundai tiburon

Well, I can't afford one for a little bit anyway. It's a $20k car for crying out loud....maybe in a couple years when it is closer to $10k as that is about what I'd be willing to pay.

You are as cheap as I am when it comes to cars.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

g8 gt

I dare you to try and rationalize the cost of one to Flip.

Go.

I am not feeling the Altima coupe but love the Z370 and G37 which I believe may all be on the same platform. New Altima coupe reminds me too much of a chick car.

I have owned several Nissans and never had any issues even with very high mileage.

Go.

He should test drive the g8 gt head to head with the Altima 3.5 coupe.

I drive an Altima 3.5 (2004) with a manual btw, they are pretty

quick. I don't suspect the price for the 09 Altima 3.5 coupe will be to far

from the g8 gt. Both about 30k I think, I could be wrong.

Altima 6-speed 3.5 is 27k and G8 GT is 32k, if I was balling enough to spend 32k on a Pontiac though I would probably just bump it up to the GXP and get the extra 55HP for 415 total.

I have found the 08 coupe around $20k. I have found a GTO as cheap as $16k.

If I get a four door car, it will be an econobox.

I already have a truck, so I am good with that once I un-mod it in the event I get something new.

So, my choices boil down to change what I want or sit and wait until it's affordable.

5k is a big difference. I don't think the performance would be anywhere near justifying 5k to him.

Especially when you throw the fact we are talking about Flip into the mix.

I personally would like an LS2 GTO and will get one when they get in the 13-14k range. Right now they are about 18k for anything with

I realize 400hp can be had cheaper building something up but I really don't have the skills nor the interest in tinkering with a car.

Bingo.

I thinking waiting out the GTO is the best bet. Is the LS2 the 6.0?
