That ad SMELLS.  Proceed with caution.

As for the 2007 Sentra 2.0/6 speed; not a bad car.  Don't over think the "rear" alignment.  If it drives down the highway straight it's good enough.  Remember, it's a SENTRA.  ;D

Realized that ad did not have cruise so its missing the conveinece package. Cruise is a must for me.

I had a nightmare with alignment on my Volvo. Living with that would ruin my enjoyment of any car. Its apparently not a hard fix but I simply want to buy a car that is right from the start not that i need to work to get it "right"

Ya, it was the BASE unit.  That and the insane limo tint and the liquid air freshner.  :nono:

OK so its done..well almost. Small deposit given and picking the car up on Fri or Sat.

Couple minor things need to be fixed before the deal is finalized squeaky wiper arm spring, verified alignment report and removal of the front bug deflector and touch up the hood for any spots where it left a mark.

All my checks for accidents etc came up clean. Car still has a bit of power train warranty left so I've got another 10K if anything else pops up.

The price was reduced 1K from last week to this week and I was only able to get him down another bit to 7600 but that's just over high black book and its at least a couple 1000 less than a comparable civic or Mazda which likely has more miles on it.

I have already christened the car "the Toaster" as in its an appliance (and its silver) Its a point a to point b car that has no personality. If its easy on gas,doesn't break and is tolerable on long trips (which i think is really the car's strength compared to others in its class)  then it will serve its purpose.

I'll post in show and shine when i get it.
