I'd like to get the 3.5 V6 badge instead.

The se-r badge to me makes the car, why not show off its a rare model. The grille was rare active tuning s5 grille, cant get anymore. BUT. cmods makes one like it, not as great as the active tuning, i had the cmod in my earlier pics, but the mesh is thinner which i never liked.
Nissan Altima 2005-2006 Mesh Grille - C-mod Grilles

The reason i can tell its been hit in the front. Fitment is Majorly wrong, but the biggest thing is, you can tel the bumper was replaced. When you get a new cover from nissan, they do are fully black, so when painted alot of people miss the simple detail of masking off the fog area, and just shoot the whole thing. So the fitment off, and all silver in the fog area instead of a dark grey shows its been replaced. May not of been registered as being hit, but look under the bumper cover and see and make sure things are ok. I love these cars, i hope to one day have a red or black one again, since as you can tell i had to sell mine due to fucked up circumstances. Just fun kicking kids in 350z's ass's and enjoying having a rare se-r, since u dont see them much.

That doesn't sound right at all for a stock FWD sedan.

Sorry that was auto correct, I meant understeer. Actually you can oversteer in FWD in the rain with the right set up

Turn traction control off, car will always feel alot better. That traction control is like cutting your dick off in these cars.

These cars look so good in Silver,otr the dark grey..
I looked HARD at them in 05 when I got my Frontier.They were close in price,and I fell in love with the interior/seats back then..
My choices were to keep my old cars and get a new truck,or get a new SER and and an old truck.
I kept my B13 and chose the New Nismo Frontier instead.


As for the bumper...maybe they removed it and repainted it to be free of rockchips? Dealers do that quite frequently...like throwing a new bedliner in a truck to cover a scratched bed.

^even if so, the gap wouldnt be that bad, looks like i can shove my fat fingers in there, when a quarter should barley fit in there, if fitment is off, you know something wasnt done right or was tweaked at one time. When the dealer repaired my front bumper as well after they ripped it off with a forklift (yes forklift) the se-r altima has to be LIFTED off the motor, they dont pull it up top, but from underneath, they did it wrong and damaged my bumper, new one was painted right as well.

Well I have the VIN # right here with me. Does anyone have a Carfax account so we can check it out?

ANYWAYS, I'm starting getting a low oil pressure light at idle so I'm having the car towed tomorrow (it's under warranty for awhile yet) to check it out. I hope it's the gauge. Didn't expect this, I was hoping I'd finally have a trouble free car. Seems theres no such thing.

Like i said, check for cat issues, and oil consumption, happens alot with them, but nissan says it doesnt exist. Ive heard stories of the cats sucking into the motor before. But still, there awsome sexy cars when running good.
