#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.

I know exactly how frustrating the wind noise issue can be. I have a 2001 I30t and have noticed a wind noise issue for some time now. I have had the dealership replaced the window seals in three out of four window seals thus far. They tried to tell me that the noise was at a normal level but I still hear wind noise from my drivers side window. My dealership have been very cooperative with trying to fix this issue for me but I think it may just be a design issue more than anything else (my opinion). I do plan on taking the car bak one more time to have the drivers side window seals replaced. I have heard some people say that putting a silicon coating on the seals would help so this may be something to look into. My only other suggestion is to hold your stance on this and make the dealership replace all of the seals as needed. I have seen some improvements in the noise with the seal replacements, however, I still feel that the noise level is too high.

Hope this is not too late. If you can talk to dealer down to $1000, and is from Infiniti. It is good to get it.   This is all come down to your preference.
#1558 of 1827 '99 I30T- just purchased by geo55 Jan 02, 2002 (2:07 pm)
I bought this car used about a month ago and am thoroughly enjoying it. Handles much better than I expected and the engine performance is great. Fuel economy sucks though. I have a leak in the trunk somewhere. Water gets into the well where the spare tire is. Can't find the leak yet. Anyone else have this experience?? Also, there seems to be a lag in downshifting (automatic) from 2nd to 1st gear. Anyone else?? Thanks
#1559 of 1827 amda--98 I30t by dbruland Jan 02, 2002 (7:00 pm)
Congrats on getting the low mileage '98 I30t for $17650.   Based on personal experience with the following 6 Nissans/Infinitis since 1991, I would recommend you not spend the $1000-$1100 for an extended warranty. My total non-routine maintenance out-of-warranty expenses:   1991 Maxima GXE (65K): 0 1993 Infiniti G20 (70K): $400 fuel injector 1996 Maxima GLE (70K): 0 2000 Infiniti I30 (31K): 0 2000 Infiniti G20 (8K): 0 (wife's current car) 2002 Infiniti I35 (1K): 0 (my current car)   Obviously the last three were/are still under warranty. Nonetheless, I only had to have warranty work done on the 1993 G20 (defective battery).   All cars were serviced routinely per manufacturers guidelines (oil changes, tire rotations, etc.). I honestly don't think you should expect to spend anywhere near the cost of your extended warranty on the 1998 I30t, assuming it wasn't mistreated in it's original 26K miles.

Hi everybody,   I thank all members for their input and suggestions to my questions. I took delivery of the 98I30t. I have also for the time being taken the extended warranty for $1100. I can cancel it at any time. THey would deduct $25. It would be refunded in full if the cancellation is made within 30 days.   I drove about 500 miles on it sofar and love it. The engine and tranny are pretty smooth. I have only one problem with the car. The driver side rear view mirror has some spots on it. I have tried some glass cleaners and it would not help. I took it to the dealer. the service advisor said that they look like stains from acid rain and the mirror needs to be replaced(about $100 including labor: 65 mirror + 35 labor). Day time driving is no problme, but during the nights, light from vehicles behind makes it very hazy and not very comfortable to drive.   I am planning to get the mirror changed. IF some one has a fix or suggestions for this please let me know.   thanks again.
#1561 of 1827 Tire Pressure by luvtospeed Jan 04, 2002 (5:35 pm)
Hi Guys,   I have a question regarding the recommended tire pressure for my 2001 I30. From what i can see the owner's manual just tells you not to exceed the maximum pressure that's listed on the tire itself. The tires are Goodyear Eagle 215/55R16 and reads 44psi as the max. pressure.   I would think that it's much too high at 40psi. Please let me know what you think is the proper operating pressure.   Many thanks.....
