    Smile Hi there New member here

    Hello everyone. I just bought am 89 SEi coupe this week to use more as a commuter car. My premium chugging Nissan Frontier S/C Crew Cab will bankrupt me if I keep driving it everywhere!

    I bought it from the original owners with 159K miles on it. 5spd, leather, 12 disc changer, cruise, power windows, etc, factory alloys. They had full service records backed by reciepts and my mechanic checked it out and saw nothing wrong with it either. Can you beleive it? An honest person selling a used car....

    Anyway here are some pics:





    I already have a new hood emblem coming...




    The motor. I can tell it wasn't detailed, just always kept this clean


    The original factory alloys (14's but hey, cheap tires):


    Leather, show some wear, age and cracking, but not bad for a 15 year old car:


    Lots of paint fade on the roof and trunk, but no rust and overall pretty good for a 15 year old Japanese paint job:



    I am pretty happy with this car and parting with $1900 to pay for it was easy. I could tell that it was taken care of. I look forward to being a part of this board.

    Thanks for the welcome guys. I doubt I will do much of anything to this car other than drive it. There are a few things that I will need to replace: power window switches that seem to stick and maybe the actual regulators themselves. Everything seems to be pretty solid on this car. The orginal owners really seem to have taken care of it as judged by the interior and the engine bay. Certain things just age like the paint and the seats, so those aren't a huge concern of mine.

    No mods yet and quite frankly none planned. I bought this as a commuter/beater car to keep the miles off of my truck. My truck is the vehicle that gets all my mod money. You can see it here: www.picturetrail.com/agbullet

    That link is redirected to microsoft.com.
    But anyways welcome to the site and congratulations on finding the newbie introduction section, most n00bs can not find it, let alone use the search. Damn you got a deal on that SEi, those are rare. Im a little jealous.

    BTW thanks for the welcome. I admin on a site for my Frontier, so I try to follow a forums rules, etc.

    Edit: I was clicking my sig, not the one in my post. I fixed the one in my post, so it works now.

    Um, yeah...after you edited it to work. Notice the WWW/ instead of WWW. , and those last edited time stamps.
