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. |

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..... |

| What does the Tire Pressure Sticker say on the car (my 02' I35 has it under that arm rest). My I35 Spt Pkg states tire pressure at 32 PSI. Lower to that level and it smoothed the ride out. | |
|
The sticker on my 01L says 32 Front and 30 Rear. The sticker is on the bottom of the center cnsole armrest door. |
|
| Proper tire pressures are listed in the maintinence log on the second page. Pressure for the 16" wheels is different from the 17" ones, so check the door panel or log book. | |
| My wife recently purchased a 98 I30t, and I had a question regarding the Bose stereo. The stereo says Bose, the speakers say Bose, but the way they sound does NOT say Bose. I have a Lexus GS400 with Nakamichi stereo, and I certainly could tell a difference from my prior stereo (Honda Accord w/Alpine speakers) to the Nak, but her Bose stereo doesn't sound much better than the factory system that was in the 2001 Maxima we rented while on vacation. What do you all think? | |

I've been shopping around for a 01 I30. Since the 02 Maximas are going for 24.5, i figured the 01 I30's should be a bargain. Accounting for the 2500 dealer cash, is $21,000 (before ttl for a base I30) a reasonable price?? Thanks |

Price of $21,000 is unbelievable for 2001 I30. You should go for it. Even in december dealers were not willing to sell below $26,000 on the east coast. I would buy it immediately. Could you let us know where you got this offer. thanks |

psriniv, I think you misunderstood what i said. I was never offered such a ddeal. i was simply looking for opinions on whether or not 21k was a resonable price. There is no way in HELL, i'm paying anything above 22k for a base '01 I30 - especially considering the crappy Infiniti sales figures (based on Automoive News and FightingChance data), the 2500 dealer cash, and also the serious competition including the new I35 and the new '02 Maxima (which is going for 24.3K and is far superior to the '01 I30). So in my opinion over 22k is outrageous!! If i can't get it for 21-22k, i'll just stick with the new '02 Maxima, for a few grand more. |
