My new car.

[JT20]

Okay. I am VERY SOON to ACTUALLY BUY and have for my own this car... Last chance to either (try to) talk me out of it, or maybe this is The One.

It is a 1993 Infiniti J30.

Thoughts? Etc (about the car.)

Oh by the way.. That's frost, on a cold morning.

Thank you in advance for any insight on YEA or NEA on it.

 

[GON]

Have to be honest.... money likely better spent and enjoyed if spent at the Wine Academy in the background of the first pic than driving that 93. Sorry,

 

[JeffKeryk]

How much?
It's a NEA for me, but good luck anyways!

 

[RazorsEdge]

Ugly as sin and I personally wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Second I'm not sure how you want us to help make a decision when you don't provide any information about the said vehicle?

 

[JT20]

Oh boy.

 

[2EHA]

as a second car why not. if you want to own an old infiniti i’d go get a really early Q45, they were cool cars with the worst advertising in automotive history

After paying for the Subaru how do you have enough money left over for this car?

 

[JT20]

Folks. I like this car because it's like an Unadvertised Special. I get to give it the once-over tomorrow, but it appears loved and seller says perfect condition. Being up close to car I only see a little rust part on a doorbell and none else. It's looking good so far.

Getting a feel, putting my foot in the water here.

So far I get the feeling BITOG ain't liking this one...

It would replace Subaru as primary.. that car is now lab rat and I may sell but I don't even know that yet. But if someone wanted to buy it? Yes.

 

[daves87rs]

That’s a no for me....

Other way around. Subaru "Needs a transmission solenoid now" that magically failed when engine went in.. So be it.

Subie will probably come back in a couple weeks and sit in my garage, is what I'm thinking.

 

[JT20]

That’s a no for me....

Okay, I'm not understanding.

What are some of the reasons you say this?

 

[Blinker]

I must say, I never realized how similar the side and rear of the Infiniti J30 and Mercury Sable look.

I do.

Why? See bold above.

As if BITOG ever talked you out of anything before.

 

[JT20]

Touche.

But. If the Subaru sucks now...

Okay how about this. WHY I LIKE THIS CAR:
1. Looks good (to me)
2. Condition (said to be) Pristine
3. I need a car and the Subaru hasn't been "returned to reliable service)" yet. It's more "Let's see how this turns out" status.

This would be my Daily Driver and it's basically an old Nissan Altima not Sentra...

Has to be low miles, rust free and manual. Unfortunately most sellers always claim perfect condiction.... see craigslist for such claims.

 

[daves87rs]

The car itself is not bad, and the drivetrains are pretty solid. But having a few friends who have owned those, they tend to nickel and dime you a bit. One used to eat power window switches like a hungry guy at a buffet. The other had dash go out leaving him how fast or how much gas he had. ..

I think much also depends on the mileage and price. If the miles are lower and the price is right- can’t hurt to give it a try....

I’d like to take a moment and congratulate you for the wittiest username I’ve come across here lol.
