is this a good deal? '04 brembo, nav..the works..

http://greensboro.craigslist.org/ctd/1072132004.html

the car has 99k miles though...and he says the body is mint..no mechanical problems..

this is the perfect combo that ive been searching for but the miles are just a little iffy..

would i run into any kind of problems after 100k?

Not bad. But get the following information:
oil changes, timing chain, belts and stuff. These are the normal things that go under everday driving. Also whens the last time the clutch has been changed etc.

Nice car man...pretty good price... just make sure u can afford repairs and maintaining it... just bought my 04 wit 107k for 10500....u should probably plan on replacing ..drive belts and ac belt, clutch, master cylinder, brakes, things like that...usually a timing chain is good for life of the engine...only in rare circumstances does a timing chain need to be replaced...usually manual is drivin' harder than auto just because its fun to drive it harder and make those red line shifts...just be ready to fix stuff if things break.. these motors can make it well over 200k - 250k miles.

planning on do everything the next 3 weekends...going to pick up tranny fluid, rear differential oil, and belts at dealership tonight...

Tranny fluid 10 quarts to be safe at 8-11 bucks a quart = $100
Rear diff oil amsoil 4 quarts at 7 bucks a quart = $30
OEM drive belt and ac belt i think its 30 bucks each not sure...=$60
Radiator flush and new coolant fluid = $40
Ngk spark plugs * 6 = $50

Free labor (ME under the car) + $230 in parts

vs

Stealership would probably charge 230 parts + 700 labor for the same job.

I'd negotiate on the price, seems high for the miles on it....then again I dunno if I'd buy from someone who can't spell Infiniti.
