My brother works for Nissan and he says that a majority of the oil consumption problems he sees are due to pre-detonation because of the 87 octane gas some put in their cars when premium fuel is recommended. Essentially, youre slowly deteriorating the piston rings, cats and o2 sensors.

 

i think this thread is about purchasing a car lol not the type of gas lol

but i was putting regular for like two tanks then put prem. and felt the difference

once u go prem. u never go back =D lol

 

Better gas mileage too. Yes Yes back on topic. Buy it. Do it.

 

How about checking the car out well first. A well maintained 100k mile vehicle is much better than an unmaintained 100k mile vehicle.

I've looked at 100k mile cars for friends and family and have frequently seen dirty coolant, no indication of tranny flushes, and just poorly maintained cars overall.

8 years and 100k miles is a long time for stuff tom degrade. You really need to see if the previous owners kept on top of things or if their is evidence of neglect.

 

I ended up buying a coupe instead with 69,500 miles. It's my first newish car so I'm pretty excited!!!!!
The only others I've had are an old VW bug and I've been driving a 240Z. The clock is just like the one on the 240Z, inset into the dashboard.

 

congratz and welcome to the club...

just remeber to maintain it ... and everything should be finen

( you bought a G becuase u r a G ) lol some random person said that today..

and i felt like sharing that .. lol

 

Gahh, sedan traitor!! Hahaha, just kidding, welcome to the G club.

 

Now, we need pics of the owner and the ride.

 

^+1. Okay... Now I'll agree with Kuneff. Pics!

 

Here are the two cars. I just bought the new one but now it has a shifting problem, I posted about it in another thread, sort of a drag. Maybe I should have bought the other :/

 

u didnt test drive it b4 u bought it ?

 

We did but it didn't grind then. I drove it last night and this morning, it was fine. Then it started grinding and now does almost each time.

 

did you buy it from private or dealer /
if from dealer take it back lol

and if its private , idk what state u r in but there is a lemon law

 

I bought it from a dealer, but not a new car dealer. I called them and they said to bring it on tomorrow after work and they'd take a look at it. Hopefully they will do something about it but I don't think they have to, not sure about that. I live in California but stupidly didn't get any sort of warranty on it.

 

Different states have different laws. In mass, there is a 30 day warranty on purchased from dealers on cars. Unsure what Cali is
