I bought my first Infiniti, an 1999 I30t in July. It had only 15000 miles on it. My FAVORITE thing about this particular I30t is that it's a 5speed transmission - one of the very few (and last) produced for the I30. I paid $22,800. for it.
 
It's the best car I've ever owned. I love it.

I just saw your post about your 1996 5speed. ENJOY IT! Infiniti made only a few of them. I bought a '99 which was the last year they produced the 5speed in an Infiniti. From my research, they only sold about 50 (FIFTY!!) that last year.
 
My clutch, as Barbara Streisand has said, is "like BUTTAH!" It's very smooth up and down. Of course, the car only has about 17000 original miles on it.

I'm thinking of buying a 1996 I30 with 80,000 miles. Any advice or comments from owners would be helpful.

CD Player on 1996 I30T by blackhawk2

Today my CD player has gone bad...it sounds like the motor is stuck and the CD always result in error and sometimes does not eject or accept the CD. When there's no CD inside, the indicator still lights up when I start the car...does anyone know how to fix this? I've checked the warranty and I'm unclear if audio devices are still covered under the warranty...any suggestions on what I should do? I appreciate it much, thanks.

Oh, by the way...my car has 54000 miles on it and is obviously 5 years old.

I bought same model and year a few months ago, and have been delighted with it. It's a bit rough on bumps (it's an i30t), but overall, a great car. Mine had 46k miles, paid 12k from a private seller. Good luck.

Used I30 worth it or not-1998-24K miles by amda

I am looking at a used I30 luxury model. Its a 1998 I30 Burgundy with side air bags (not sure if this was standard) with 24 k miles on it. THe price being asked is $17800 (used car dealer). I have checked the book value of the car, the price is at about this rprice in most of the places (NADA, Edmunds, Cars.com). Would appreciate input from this forum if its a good vehicle to go with. I need a dependable car with minimal maintenance expenditure for the next 3 years (atleast).

See if you can find 2000 I30 program cars coming off lease. I understand Infiniti of Lisle (Chicago) are paying $18,250 which means you could probably buy one for around $19-$20K depending how good you negotiate. Don't know where you are located, but would guess Infiniti dealers in your area may have similar deals.
 
Big difference in 2000/2001 I30's as opposed to 1996-1999. I think you would be much better off paying a couple thousand more, plus would still have some remaining warranty (original warranty 4 years or 60,000 miles). Even though the 1998 you are looking at only has 24K miles, the 4 years will be up shortly if not already.

Car wash by pql1

Hi,
With the winter season upon us, does anyone have a recommendation for cleaning their cars? Should I take my I30 to a car wash or is that type of 'washing' too tough on the paint? I would like to continue washing my car at home but it is getting too cold in the North East now....thanks!

I would take it to a full service car wash where they have decent equipment and finish the car by hand, I've been doing this with my 2000 I30 with no problems. I would NOT put the car through one of those coin-operated jobs at the gas station.
 
One thing I have found worthwhile is to wax the paintwork and clean and condition the leather twice per year. I've been using some products from a company called Zaino Bros which work pretty well, but any brand of good quality stuff should do the trick.
