2000 Infiniti G20: Reliable?

Thinking about buying a 2000 G20 with 150,000 miles. It's a one-owner car being sold by a dealership. Are G20s pretty reliable? If there's issues, what are some things I should look for when I test drive it?

Thanks,
Michael

Isn't a G20 just a sentra with some luxury added in?

Should be reliable, but any car with 150K is going to need some work from time to time.

I had a 96 G20 and was really reliable. I know multiple people who have them and they are great cars. Depending on where you are located check the core support for rust as they had problems with that. Alot of aftermarket for the sr20 as well.

1 owner 150k, i think he took care of it. Infiniti are very reliable cars. Look under the hood, under the car for oil leaks and when test driving it, REALLY test drive it and not some BS 6 right hand turn crap. Drive it around, take it on the freeway, parallel park the car, do a U turn. If you really want that car and convince the dealer they'll let you do all that. That's what i did w/ my new G when i test drove it.
