#29 of 78 '98 I30t owner by oman9 Oct 01, 2002 (1:27 pm)
I'm the original owner of the above car, 86K miles on it and it still runs and looks brand new (knock on wood). I keep it up real well re: maintenance every 5K miles and washing/waxing etc.   Looking forward to more years with this car, it's been great!   Always take it to a good Infiniti dealer for service, they know the car the best and if your dealer is good, it's a no brainer to use them...
#30 of 78 2001 Infiniti I 30 Rebuilt Title & Motor Mounts by theleibo Nov 10, 2002 (7:47 pm)
I purchased an I30 with only 4500 miles, but the car had a rebuilt title. Can anyone tell me how the company views a rebuilt title, I would think that the warranty is void but the company would handle any recall issues, Can anyone comment.   Second Question, I am experiencing a whining noise after the engine is turned off. I believe it is the motor mounts, as I saw a TSB bulletin on this subject. Does anyone know what is involved in replacing these and can someone besides the dealer handle such a project>>?   Please email me at: theleiboadelphia.net   Thanks Everyone for your assistance!!!!

#32 of 78 Tires for I30 by lynnj May 21, 2004 (6:02 pm)
I am nearing 60,000 miles on my 2001 I30 and seek advise on tires to consider. The tire dealer says the Goodyear RSA's that came on it are very good. How about Michelin MXV4 sold at Sam's Club. I got recommendations for Michelin's at Sam's for my Toyota Sienna van and they have performed very well.
#33 of 78 CD rack by fastoc Nov 09, 2004 (7:13 am)
I recently purchased a 2001 i30. I noticted the touring model has a cdrack in the trunk. Is their an after-market rack which can easily be installed in the trunk. I did see the wires in my trunk where the touring rack was located, however the wires did not terminate there.   Any advice? Thx.

It looks like not too many people access this board anymore but I will give it a go..   I purchased a 2001 I30 about 2 months ago and so far I love it. I upgraded from a 95 Accord with over 213k miles on it (my odometer stopped working roughly 2 years ago--go figure) Anyhoo.. I was in the market for another Accord or an Altima but ended up with this baby. It was a company fleet car so it was impeccable inside and out with all the Infiniti services per the maintenance schedule. The car had 39k on it when I bought it.   I am a road warrior..drive roughly 60 miles a day to and from work plus any client sites I visit (roughly additional 50-75 miles a week). My question is.. should I invest in the extended warranty? To those of you with this model or prior years.. did you experience any problems/needed repairs between the time the factory warranty expired and when let's say an extended warranty would expires (100k)I need to know is it worth paying $1200 for an extended warranty.   FYI, I have a off market mechanic who kept my Honda in great shape for the fraction of the cost (i.e. cost of parts plus flat fee of 100-150 for labor) and before I bought this car I checked with him to make sure he could work on Infinitis and he can. Do you think I will be okay with just his expertise and buying Infiniti parts (filters/brakes etc from an online Infiniti parts website)?   Please advise.

Replying to: benudiva (Mar 16, 2005 8:22 am) We must be related. I also got a 2001 i30 2 months ago, love it, and am approaching the 60k point.   I drive even a little more than you -- 100 miles a day round trip. Since it's mostly highway, I'm thinking that's pretty easy on the car and I'd chew up the warranty mileage too fast to make it worth my while.   Have you done the 60,000 mile maintenance yet? I just scheduled it. $600. Yeow. Sounds like your mechanic will beat that price for you, though.   I'll be looking for replies to your query. Thanks.

#36 of 78 Hey RDelacy by benudiva Mar 17, 2005 (1:38 pm)
For $600 hellll nawww I wont be getting it done. I will look in the manual and make sure my mechanic hits the major points. I found a website where you can buy Infiniti parts and thats what I will do.. where do you live? If you are in the NYC metro area perhaps I can hook you up with my mechanic...I'll be damned if I pay that much for a maintenance. I am going to call my local Infiniti dealer to see if I can get on their mailing lists etc and get dealer coupons..that is completely bonkers.   I'm with you on the extended warranty. I have read that Infinitis are well made so I hope it wont give me any problems (fingers crossed) What color is yours? Mine is Silver, with tan/taupe(?)leather interior with wood trim.. I feel like such a grown up (smile) Be well.

Replying to: benudiva (Mar 16, 2005 8:22 am) I bought a 99 I30T a few years ago and it was the same deal - a corporate lease vehicle. I had a couple of problems initially that were very minor that were fixed under warranty but since - no problems or complaints. I just gave it to my daughter who uses it at college and she loves it. It has 105K miles and the only mechanical repair it has had is the alternator was replaced at about 80k miles. I wouldn' t buy the extended warranty especially if you have a good mechanic - remember, the I30 is the same as a Maxima which are all over the place. Parts are relatively cheap and most mechanics know how to repair them. I think your car will give you years of reliable transportation. BTW, I just had the plugs replaced, the transmission flued replaced, fuel filter replaced, fuel injectors cleaned and a few other maintenance items done - it runs like new! I love it so much, that i just bought a used I35 with 16k miles on it - I have a lot of faith in Infiniti's. I will never buy and American car again! My Chryslers, Fords and GM were all garbage by comparison! Good luck

Replying to: rdelacy (Mar 17, 2005 4:33 am) benudiva and rdelacy,   A Boston area Nissan dealer is offering an '01 I30T w/44K miles for $19,900 (black on black). I checked auction prices and the car with these miles is going between $13700 and $15K.   What did you pay, and did you get them at dealers or private? Any advice when I look at this car?   Thanks Replies to this message: websparc (Sep 21, 2005 11:18 am)
