I'm a blind Nissan fanboy, so take that into consideration when I say: consider an Altima.

In general I would go with a mainline model from an established line over a new model.

Hmmmm....as you can tell from my ownership record I am also a Nissan fan. Of course, I've only had old beater pieces of shit, so a new Altima would be schweet.

No bloodstains.

Not even in the trunk?

I swear we had a thread about car-buying advice once before, but I can't find it.

How long a drive is it to Denver from Orange County?  I'm sure it would be a nice way to get to know your new vehicle.

Now, is that $7300 the "friend" price or the Kelly Blue Book value?

We did.

You can have my '99 Chevy Silverado w/ extended cab and ridiculous stereo for $8000. It's got about 70k miles on it. And I'm relatively nearby. I'd probably even drive it out if you wanted, but you'd really have to commit to buying it.


Blood sprays right out of that bedliner. Or so I'm told.

Ooooh. That sounds awesome. Let me think about it. I love Silverados. My dad has one and it's a thing of beauty to drive. Plus very badass. What kind of shape is it in?

I've got a '99 Chevy Silverado, 70k miles, 4x4, $2500 in aftermarket stereo equipment - you can have that for $8000.

After you buy it, I'm going to get me one of these. I can't wait.

Oh god, the new Z's are pure sex. I love them. Of course, I would never buy one living in Colorado because they're rear-wheel drive. Would never make it in the snow.

***EDIT: Mods, can you fuse my topic into this one?

The only issue is some paint scuffs and a 1 cm hole in the driver's seat upholstery. Everything else about it is solid, and I've kept receipts for every penny I've spent on it, apart from gas.

That price is off the top of Asherdan's head 'cause he wanted to use the word 'bloodstains'. The actual TOUAMBIE good fellow price is $6300.

Hey Nabu, does the truck have a tow package set up and receiver/hitch? What kind of bedliner? Still have accessible in bed tie downs?

1) Yes.
2) Standard pop-in (not sprayed in).
3) Tie-downs accessible in bed and on bed rails (the ones on the bed rails fold down so you can throw on a shell). Also, the bed rails have protectors.

I should point out that the vehicle is a 4x4 but does not have AC. It has manual seats and windows. It has molded hood and window protectors and behind-wheel splash guards. It has a "What the Hell, People" sticker, but it's on the tailgate rail protector for ease of removal (stickers there include "can I be punk too?" and "whitey will pay").

It's so fun to watch people's reactions as they pass me after seeing the 'whitey' sticker.

A friend of mine got me a little "Whitey Will Pay" button from unamerican.com, and I used to wear it on the bus when I was commuting to work.

I'd get a lot of stares, but it was so small that people had to get in close to read it.  One time, this black lady got off the bus, leaned in to read the button (double-take style) and looked me in the face and said "mmm-HMMMM!"

Clean livin'.

I had a guy jog down our street, go a little past the truck, make a u-turn and read all the stickers intently. When he jogged off it was with an evident look of distaste.

I also had a car full of young black men overtake me on the freeway - their looks of unadulterated joy quickly turned to confusion. I kind of felt bad for them.

Double Happiness.

Also, this reminds me of this t-shirt for local hip-hop group Dead Indians.  It would take a lot of balls for a white guy to wear this shirt I think.
