My new car.

[manicrodder]

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

Right! I couldn’t put my finger on it. Never liked the Sable. I generally don’t ask people for their opinions, I just buy. It really angers my wife occasionally.

I don't care for the styling, but of course that is subjective.

That's another thing..this car looks downright sexy to me.

I'm thinking of just throwing the Subaru away.

The car looks like a Jaguar. (J30)

Sevier than an X-type

It looks like an X type mixed with an XJ.

I too love the looks of the Infinity.

How about this...

Ditch the Subaru
Guy takes JDM engine OUT
Guy RETURNS JDM Engine
That pays for his labor
Scrap Subaru
Drive this.

Why is it a train wreck of a thread?

Why am I going to need the good luck?

..you don't like the car?

I can't please everyone, all the time.

Cool car! I like these more than I should, and they look cool, like a Japanese Jaguar, but not the best choice in a Japanese car. Mechanically, it's basically a 300ZX sedan

The VG30DE has a timing belt, and it is also hard to work on. A lot of parts aren't available for it. For example, you can't get shocks for it (OE supplier was Tokico). The J30 also has surprisingly little room inside and a tiny trunk too. The 93 doesn't have heated seats or keyless entry, and timing belt interval is only 60k. It went to 105k starting in 94.

Not a good idea to buy something obscure when money is tight

Then don't ask for opinions on a public forum.

Any nearly 30 year old car is bound to need work.

You misconstrue me here.

I'm asking.. I want to hear more from the people that say NAY!

I'm hearing "No" and "Don't buy." I would like to ask more as to the WHY?

I'm not going to throw it back in anyone's face, if that's a concern.

The Subaru is at best on hold, might even go away...

You know I'm thinking about maybe bailing out on the Subaru?

I didn't say not paying the guy, screwing someone. I mean maybe getting out of the car.. scrap sell or fix and sell.

Hey it’s going to be your car so up to you whether you buy it or not. I say pass.

Great cars and they have a small cult following. Think of it as a '90's Maxima with rear wheel drive. Solid powertrain so no worries there. If it's rust free and clean go for it.
