There is a good possibility I will be flying from Florida to New Hampshire to buy a frontier in the next day or two. For those of you that own them up there, how bad is the rust? any spots to pay extra attention to? It's a 2006 nismo edition with 58k miles on it. I know New Hampshire salts the roads like crazy and the dealer tells me its rust free...just not sure I should take his word for it over the phone. Thanks in advance.

i live in mass,i have a few small spots on the frame,the leafs are a little spotty as well other than that no body problems.i dont know how maney people here are from NH.
i was just thinking about getting a few cans of undercoating/wire brush to nip it in the bud.

Well he said he would send me a carfax and I asked him to take pictures of the underside of the truck...but I get the feeling he isn't that interested in selling it to me since I haven't received either of those items yet. You would think telling a salesman you already found a plane ticket and can be there at 11:00AM the following day would be a hint that you are serious but I guess not. The search continues...

I haven't had good luck finding a manual trans 4x4 nismo truck anywhere near here. They seem to be pretty elusive..I missed out on a deal in texas a couple weeks ago on one. I've been talking to a dealer about a brand new pro4x M6 4x4 that is pretty sweet...but the payments are hard to swallow and I'm not sure I could wheel a brand new truck.

The guy just called me back, 2 hours later....the truck has reported collision with a fixed object. Time to keep looking.

YEP:
why noy try to find a lower class model with 4x4,and with the money you save on payments,
mod it /lift ,cold air in take,dual pipes etc. alot of people here have done the very same thing,its as good if not better,look at the options

Yeah. Nismo only has a locker in the rear over anything else. Yes it has better shocks, but any upgrade is better then what a nismo has. For the money you'll spend driving from NH to FL you could get a locker on a SE CC manual.

There is no it would cost him $1500 to go to NH and back.

What price are you they tell you on a new one?

 

[Espo78]

Right now I have them down to about $23800 after the factory rebate. Pretty good deal actually. It has everything I want, and some stuff I don't like the technology package. $800 worth of junk I don't want to pay for.
