[nismo3112]

[Mr Grey]

how 'bout it Dave, buy me one? :smile:

[Pablito]

if u can afford it paul..go for it...only thing is the RWD wont be fun in the snow/rain..

[Mr.Duck]

ewww gas mileage.... lol thats all i have to say...

other than that.. nice car

[Just_A_Wrx]

^^But RWD is fun every other time.
Paul, I sent you a PM about it. Its a great looking car and probably great to drive but dont go into any kind of debt for a car if you dont have to.
You can find something that doesnt cost quite as much and better gas mileage that will be fun as well.

[walec05]

well it sure as hell was fun last night.

it has like 5 different settings for trac control.

you can turn all of them off with two buttons. its really nice.

i let andy drive it today, and he loved it too. the thing is, i only turned one control off, the slip light kept comming on....i was messing with the controls like 5 minutes ago, and i turned the VDC off and Trac Off and it halls ass. fucking burns like crazy.

yeah, i dont want to go into debt with it, so im thinking i might not get it, but its sure as hell nice.....oh and im avereging about 10 miles to the gallon in the city. about 13 while cruzing on harlem

[njmodi]

I think this what Mike wants... looks sweet...

[walec05]

hey, if anyone around my area wants to come by and check it out, i can do that....i have to return it by like 430pm and give them an answer if im gonna keep it or not.

[Just_A_Wrx]

Why not just trade the altima in??
It'll cut the price down a lot.
10mpg?? Thats really bad, are you sure?

[walec05]

yeah, when i left the dealer yesterday, it was at like half a tank, its down to a quarter of a tank now, and ive only driven like 30 miles. so im probably getting less. shit.

[Ketchup83se01]

These things look sweet and so do the newer ones i bet if you dont beat on it and just keep it as a cruiser to drive around looking for hoes

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

so who's gonna buy me this...

I would've, last week.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

I love the car but you can't afford it paul. At your age, getting anything over $10k is too much...

[50 Percent]

I would've, last week.
what is the difference between this week and last?

[Mr.Duck]

you turned him down too many times last week

[walec05]

I love the car but you can't afford it paul. At your age, getting anything over $10k is too much...

yeah, i know, thats why im gonna give it back today, and if they dont sell it in a month or so....which i dont think they will, since its a V8 ill ask them if i can buy it for their cost...which was about 20,xxx. ill save up some more money, and see what i can do.

Sell some bootie and you'll get tha cash you needs

[Just_A_Wrx]

Saw it today in person, very nice car and quick.
Go buy a condo or rent an apartment first. Get out of the parents house, then get a nice car. That way you will have a place to take the chicks you pick up with the nice car.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

when he gets out of the parents house he won't be able to afford that car. Paying for car>paying for car and apt/house/condo...

[Just_A_Wrx]

I was just saying that moving out should be first and then when it can be afforded go buy a nice car.
Even though thats not the order in which I did things.

[50 Percent]

you turned him down too many times last week
oh? and when was this? cuz i do not remember doing that at all....

yeah, its a nice car...i took it easy when i was driving home and managed to get about 14 per gallon. man, and i was easy on the throttle too.

oh, and the car is big enough to do stuff in it, so i dont need an appartment.

paul! :rotz:

[walec05]

what jess, if i had it tonight, i would show you. its got a big back set.













u know, to watch the movies playing in the headrest.
get your mind out of the gutter people.

[50 Percent]

it has tv in it? :huh: i missed that...

[walec05]

when i put one in it, if i buy it.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

he never said it had them. If I knew that TV's in the headrests were all that is needed to get you in the backseat, I would've had them a long time ago...

[50 Percent]

just because of the gas mileage i would not get it..but it is pretty....

[50 Percent]

he never said it had them. If I knew that TV's in the headrests were all that is needed to get you in the backseat, I would've had them a long time ago...
dave dear, i have been in your backseat...twice.....

[walec05]

yeah, im going to the dealer with my pops and im gonna see what they could do for me...fincance wise. if it works, then this will be my new ride. cross your fingers for me guys.

[Just_A_Wrx]

Your dad said ok??

[walec05]

not really, but i want to work something out......we might see if there is something less expensive but just as nice.

i know, it cant compare to the M45, but well see what i come up with.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

I can honestly say that getting a car that expensive is a really stupid decision on your part...

[walec05]

yeah, me and my dad fought about it, and financially its a stupid decision. but its such a nice car.....he told me that if i want to get it i have to loan the money. he aint gonna let me borrow his. and that sucks.

so its back to nissan......with a sad look on my face.

[DasTeknoViking]

I bought a 42K dollar Audi S4 when I was 21 :P

I love that M45, those cars are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Built like tanks, great interior that feels plush. Paul these things get about 23-25 on the highway when driven at a steady rate. They are NOT good in the city, especially when you bolt up a 300ZX NA rear end in there..... it will do burnouts like nothing.

There are only 2 things keeping me back from buying it- oil burning engine and automatic tranny. I dont like AT trannies because they spoil the fun of the car, and the engine...... its like a VQ35 +2 cylinders really. They have ring issues- some of them.

New M35/45 looks like shit, I hate it- looks like a 6th gen to me.

[walec05]

yeah i feel the trans too, it lags quite a bit, and when you turn both traction control things off, it really gets loose. and your right its built like a tank and drives like one too, i think the brakes that come on the car are too weak, and wont stop you quickly enough at fast speeds. the interior is really nice as well, really nice fit.

[DasTeknoViking]

I almost bought one like 2-3 times now. I like the Q45 but I can't get over its exterior, where M45 is like a shrunken down version of the Q45. Interior is just a lil bit smaller on the M vs the Q. M45 was called Leopard/Cima in Japan, it was built for narrow Japanesse roads with true japanese flavor in terms of exterior. It looks expenssive when you look at it.

New M looks cheap, like a 6th gen and its styled like ass... car looks too tall.

[Kowalski]

dude, if you aren't getting it, bring it back so that i can beat on it a bit more... it doesn't need to be back by 4:30...

[Goldtooth]

is it my turn yet? :wall:

[Kowalski]

is it my turn yet? :wall:

no, the VI cannot be put on that car... :gtfo2:

[Just_A_Wrx]

He took the car back.
I just talked to him on the phone, came to his senses.
Fun car and everything but not worth the trouble right now.

good...too expensive and not worth it right now...

[Kowalski]

quick, tell him to buy the fif gen... :ph34r:

[DasTeknoViking]

We got a 03 G35 Sedan in white for like 16K on our lot if hes got the new car bug :P

[Kowalski]

make sure it is stick... he almost bought an autotragic...

[50 Percent]

make sure it is stick... he almost bought an autotragic...
damn you people who can drive stick....:glare:

[Kowalski]

btw, paul spelled infiniti wrong...

[50 Percent]

btw, paul spelled infiniti wrong...
yeah it is kind of annoying me now....

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

damn you people who can drive stick....:glare:

I offered, but as always, you deny me...

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

yeah it is kind of annoying me now....

what is???????

[50 Percent]

I offered, but as always, you deny me...
i would let you teach me if you promised not to make fun of me when i learned....

[50 Percent]

what is???????
well it is fixed now...

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

i would let you teach me if you promised not to make fun of me when i learned....

I can't promise that. Although I'm sure if kozue was there she'd give me the look and I'd stop..

[50 Percent]

I can't promise that. Although I'm sure if kozue was there she'd give me the look and I'd stop..
alright if Kozue came along then you could teach me...

[Goldtooth]

no, the VI cannot be put on that car... :gtfo2:
wtf..... :wacko: why would I do that for?

[walec05]

yeah, i gave the car back. im gonna be looking at a g35 sedan. possibly with the all wheel drive.

[DasTeknoViking]

Paul we got a RWD Auto with like 40 or less K miles, white with light colored leather interior. Its got everything but navi. They have it listed for 16995 on our lot, I think its on our website too.... www.continentalacura.com its been sitting here for a long time and there is nothing wrong with it. I bet it could be had for like 15500 or 16K. I am not looking for anything new so I dont know how much they actually took it in for, unless its a old beater like car I dont care :)

[walec05]

im thinking of buying one from a dealer auction, its gonna cost me less than 15k for a 2006 all wheel drive. with minor damage. its more worth it that way. oh yeah, clean title too.

[DasTeknoViking]

Polaks and their crashed rides :) I personally put togheter quite a few Audi S4s and A4s back in the day when I worked for this Polish chop shop on the south side of Chicago..... I wouldn't go near a crashed car.

[walec05]

no these cars are not that bad. they are dealer cars. they have like minor scratches on the bumper or some small damage, no big shit.

im not gonna get into that salvage title shit anymore, it sucks, because you cant sell it for half of what its worth.

[THT]

only 20K? orly?....

[Cousin Ryan]

so its back to nissan......with a sad look on my face.

Im highly disappointed...

[walec05]

Im highly disappointed...

i know, me too. it sucks that i had to give it back, but no money=no car. and im not going into debt for that car. even though i would love to anyway.

[walec05]

so supposibly the infinity is sold. they put two new tires on the rear....at customer request, and it was out of the shop and out of the dealership. it was such a nice car.....im gonna take one of those G35 sedans out for an extended test drive and see what thats like.

[Kowalski]

lemme know when you are going to the dealer auction... i'd like to tag along...

[walec05]

its only on wednesdays, so i would have to take a day off of school and a day off of work, im gonna go on a day when i see a couple of nice G35's there.

[Kowalski]

what hours? nothing after 5? cuz i can't miss school sincew i only have those 2 classes twice a week for 3 hours each...

[walec05]

it would be from 10am till like 3pm, thats when i usually get home from the auction.
