#1546 of 1827 amda 1998 I30 by dbruland Dec 21, 2001 (1:05 pm)
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.
#1547 of 1827 Car wash by pql1 Dec 24, 2001 (9:25 am)
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.
#1549 of 1827 Wind Noise is back with winter by redbaretta Dec 26, 2001 (1:03 pm)
I did nothing last year with my 2001 I30t's wind noise problems. They went away with the spring but have returned with the winter. I plan on "challenging" the dealership to "fix". Any advice from others who have tackled this issue would be appreciated.

Sounds like it is temp related. Cold makes the rubber contract so their is nothing you can do except move to a warmer climate

'96 I30t owner. I'm thinking of getting my car repainted to a darker and shinier black. Any ideas on price and a good place to take it?
#1552 of 1827 1998 I30t by amda Dec 27, 2001 (7:26 am)
thanks bdruland for your adv.   I did check out the 2000 and 2001's coming off lease. I am in the east coast- central VA. Not many dealers around. THe price for the 2000 and 2001 is in the range of 22- 24 k with around 21k miles (average) on them. WHich is out of my present budget.   However,I found an used I30 t with 26 k miles with the local infiniti dealer. Its got heated seats, remote keyless entry & starting (good feature for the winters), new tires. The car looks pretty clean and not a visible scratch. The asking price was 18495. The dealer offered to detail the car and fix a few very minor things.I need to go for a new second vehicle in another 6 months time and now this fit into my current budget. I got the price down to 17650 + TTL. I went according to the NADA pricing, black book pricing and brought it down to 17650. I will be picking up the vehicle on friday. I do hope i have made a good choice, keeping my budgetary limitations. Thanks again. WOuld appreciate comments from townhall I30 owners.
#1553 of 1827 Extended warranty question by amda Dec 28, 2001 (7:48 am)
Like I posted above, I will be taking the vehicle tomorrow. I had a question about an extended warranty. The dealer did not offer it. I had asked for it. Its like this. it is for 4 years 60k miles. will cover upto 86k miles on the car. Zero deductible and no claim forms to be files if repair work done at this dealer. If i need to go out of town and had to repair my car at an infiniti dealership there, then the deductible would be $50.   The dealer is asking $1180 for it. I could probably talk him down to $1000.   I have no idea about the maintenance aspects of this car and how expensive it is to fix if something went wrong. BTW, the car has about 6 months (13k miles) of basic warranty and 2 years of the powertrain warranty left.   On the basis that it is a premium car, parts would also come at a premium rate I wanted to think about it. Members advise would help me make my decision soon. I need to make my decision soon and would appreciate members comments. thanks

Make sure the extended warranty is back and come from Infiniti, not the 3rd party one.
#1555 of 1827 tgif88 by amda Dec 28, 2001 (12:44 pm)
Hi if it is from infiniti and not from a third party would you advise that i go with it Its a zero deductible warranty for 60k miles ie upto 86k miles on the car and 4 years
