I'm going to try and see if anyone wants to pick up the car as/is. But if that doesn't happen then I'll do the necessary repairs and sell the car for a little more.

Specs:
2002 Nissan Altima 3.5SE
5-speed Manual
Sunroof, BOSE, Spoiler, ABS, Xenons
73,XXX miles

Modifications:
XS/SSAC Headers & Downpipe w/ 3" Magnaflow Metal Cat
Custom Magnaflow 3" Exhaust (single outlet)
Custom 3" warm-air intake w/ BLOX velocity stack w/ BLOX Dry-Flo Filter
Jim Wolf Technology Stage 1 Clutch & Flywheel (less then 3k miles on the entire package!) Axxtion Short-Throw Shifter, ATE fluids in M&S and Redline MT-90 in the transmission
Racingline Springs, FSTB, MMI and battery tie-down
KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks
Altima SE-R Brake Conversion w/ R1Concept Rotors and Posi-Quiet Pads
350Z 17" rims w/ Dunlop Direzza DZ101s in 245/40/17 (8k miles on setup)

Sorry, nitrous no longer being offered. Way too much of a liability.

Cons: Just as a note, I will not hide anything about the car. If I know something is wrong, I will tell you. But most of the things wrong are just minor nuisances.

Rear-bumper paint is mis-matched by a really slight tone. I did a 2.5S bumper conversion on the rear to more match with the single outlet exhaust. I traded with a 2004 Altima which I came to find out had a different tone of Pewter. Really weird. The bumper is also a little scratched up as well.

Front bumper is scratched up from previous owner. This "accident" also damaged a little bit of the fender where it looks to be pinched slightly. Merely aesthetic and doesn't affect the performance.

First and second gear whine during deceleration. Obvious sign that the synchronizers are on their way out, but it's still drives fine. Doesn't pop out of gear or anything.

Third grinds. Typical Nissan quality with this one.

Pros:
Everything. The exhaust/intake note when you take it past 3k is amazing. Having to fight the torque steer as you finally take it wide-open! Watching as 100 comes and goes faster then some see 60. It's just great! It can be a beast and then a mild mannered runner. I see on average 25MPG in the city and 30+ (politically correct, lol) on the highway. The performance of a V8, the MPG of a 4-cylinder. It's the best of both worlds!!

$8,500!

Nothing. Just going to sell it to get rid of the debt and go back to school. Going to be using my Pathfinder as a daily. Can't afford a car payment + insurance while I'm at school.
